10 Past 12 / Formosa Punk (2022)
I own quite a few Snuff 7"s. This is the newest one. I can't say that for most people it will be essential, but for the collector nerds like me, of course I have to buy it.
There are two songs included. The A side is is a live version of what I think is probably the best song of their most recent full length, "Green Glass Chippings." The live version isn't wildly dissimilar from the album version, other than the fact that it's a live recording. But it is a lively, energetic take on the song and is a great example of how impressive it is (at least to me) that Duncan is able to put forth such a strong vocal performance while simultaneously playing the shit out of the drums.
On the B side we have an acoustic version of the song "EFL vs Concrete." The original version of this song was on the Numb Nuts album that came out back in 2000. It seems kind of absurd that was so long ago as Numb Nuts still feels like one of the newer Snuff records to me. While I do typically like the acoustic takes of Snuff songs and would go out of my way to recommend Duncan's Honkypingpongseijinattack!! CD, I can't say that this is my favorite acoustic version I've heard. I tend to find the double tracked vocals a little distracting, but the violin/fiddle in the background picking out some of the organ parts of the song is quite excellent.
