Snuffy Smiles / Vinyl Smash (2019)
Going into this, I already know that I don't really like Holy Shit. I have a handful of their split 7"s on Snuffy Smiles and pretty much the only reason I bought this one is because it's a co-release between Vinyl Smash and Snuffy Smiles. To keep the Snuffy Smiles 7" collection complete, it's a necessary purchase.
Holy Shit play really fast and the singer yells a lot. It sounds like an older hardcore record, but one that might have been a Berkeley based sound. There's a little bit of catchiness to their songs and I can tolerate them more than a lot of hardcore bands, but this just isn't for me. This is a 7" that is truly not my tempo.
I will say that the last couple of years from Snuffy Smiles have been underwhelming. They haven't put out many records and the ones they have aren't as focused on Japanese bands as I would like. Still, I have quite a history collecting records from this label, so I'm likely to keep buying them year after year, no matter what band is actually on the record.
