xjustinxschwierx Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 [[[[Pressing info is: 440 Clear, 265 Red & 165 Blue.]]]] The long awaited split 7" from Chicago's Sweet Cobra and Milwaukee's Get Rad. This split was created to honor the late Mat Arluck (Sweet Cobra's lead guitarist who passed away in 2009). Sweet Cobra's songs are built around ideas Mat had worked on with them before his death and the final track on their side is an instrumental track of his last piece of recorded music. Their songs are the relentless stoner punk rock akin to Torche & the Melvins that you know and love. Get Rad's 2 songs are righteous blasts of crust inflected Minor Threat-style hardcore. They might be my new favorite GR songs. Seriously so fucking great. Artwork is by Matt Putrid with layout by Ryan Patterson (of Coliseum / Auxiliary Design). Track listing: Sweet Cobra side: 1.Old Haunts, 2.Complaints, 3.Sprague Dawley (reprise) Get Rad side: 1.Word is Bond, 2.Who Can You Trust Check out a stream of the Sweet Cobra song "Complaints" here: http://www.jadedinchicago.com/2014/04/sweet-cobra-get-rad-split-7/ and Check out a video of the get Rad song "Word is Bond" here: This record was co-released by three labels: Underground Communique, Lifeline and Hawthorne Street Records.

monsterrod Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'll be picking this up soon. I assumed there would be no more Sweet Cobra releases after Mat's death, but I'm happy so see a fitting tribute like this one put together. Excellent cover art as well.
