Top 50 Records Of 2017 Pt. 15 (22 & 21)

Album No. 22 (The Darts - Me. Ow.)


Another band that have made the list in both categories, The Darts managed to put out an EP and an album in 2017, 'Me. Ow.' is the better of the two which is something considering how fond i was of the Darts II EP, Shared vocals keep things fresh, as does the organ and some of it still makes me think of Karen O if she fronted a psychedelic garage rock band, get it on nice pink vinyl.

Single / EP No. 22 (Unqualified Nurse Band - Death Surf A52 7")


Quite a few bands pull double duty in this list, and it' good to see singles like this that could easily have made an album been exclusive, another notch on the Too Pure single belt, Unqualified Nurse Band have again come up with the goods. A-Side 'Death Surf A52' veers from out of control full on rock to lush melodic lulls highlighting the amazing versatility of the band. 'White Dove' on the other hand is a fucked up beats of a song, falling apart at the seems.

Album No. 21 ('68 - Two Parts Viper)


Gutted doesn't cover it when i heard The Chariot had called it a day, so it was great to see Josh Scogin return so quickly with '68, 2014's 'In Humor And Sadness' hinted at great things to come, 'Two Parts Viper' is the great things that came. This is a beast of an album, more cohesive than The Chariot, you can make out all the words and everything, elements of Nirvana's In Utero at its most chaotic with a swinging bluesy rock vibe, controlled chaos at it's best.

Single / EP No. 21 (Gestures - Bad Taste 7")


A pure punk rock band fronted by some guy called Sick Vic, every song under 3 minutes, underlying Ramones melodies over ramshackle Stooges/Dead Boys punk rock, there's not a dud on this EP, and you have to hear what they do to The Yardbirds classic 'For Your Love'
