GAD WHIP – ward 24 / trademark

One-time pressing of 150 copies only, on thick 180g-vinyl, with two inserts included, indvidually designed collage-art with each one! "Ward 24", still bound to vocalist Pete Davies' semi-spoken psycho-rambling, has a distinctly melodic lilt to its minimal dub-rock underpinning, whilst "Trademark" is pure and catchy Post-Punk bluster, mainlining straight to the late night dancefloor of a seedy basement club already cracking with the strain of music not especially designed to be danced to... Something like The Fall meets Fugazi, eh?! The nods towards subtle experimentation of their longer works may well have been lifted, or abandoned altogether, but Gad Whip know exactly how to utilise the single format to the best of its potential, with their probably most immediate songs yet. * X-Mist
