The Missing Shadows – Western Waste lp
Playing in the league of new german bands with teams like The Toyotas, Tator Toilet or The Grizzly Adams Band, these 5 foxes climb up position after position with their very authentic and outstanding sound. Their fine debut is comprised of 12 stirring mid-tempo and more hectic up-beat tracks, mixing the melodic, yet raspy ''Land Speed''-era Husker Du guitarwork with Angry Samoan's catchiness, Gun Club's playful feeling for melodies and an explicit coloring of early 80s German-Punk a la Toxoplasma (especially the singer's offensive vocal skills), crowned with melodic singalong choruses. The Missing Shadows could easily be associated with Swedens` Vicious approach to provide us with catchy, snotty tunes.
