Yeah God! – So Far Down E.P. (Vinyl rip – 1988)

So here’s the last of the Yeah God! vinyl I own, which ironically according to the catalog number was actually their first single on Chapter 22. There’s an air of optimism on this E.P. which I definitely wouldn’t associate with the band, with tracks  titled ‘Love Is Like The Sun’ and choruses singing “Lift up your head and say that tomorrow will be a better day”. OK, so one of the tracks (the best one) is called ‘Eat Plutonium Death’, but the other tracks sound like Blink-182-ish uplifting skate-punk. So yeah, not my favourite release by the band but it’s not terrible either. Just a bit too conventional (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, chorus) and optimistic to be the same band who would frequently use samples and pitched-down vocals and went on to record “Everything’s Not Fucking Irie, Man“.

01-So Far Down

Yeah God! – Sumo E.P. (Vinyl rip – 1988)

Yeah God!’s debut release on Chapter 22 records. Title track Sumo On My Back is a storming tune, mixing rap with thrash and some chanting thrown in for good measure! Used To Even Care brings the death growwwwwls found on their excellent debut LP. The E.P. finishes with Beast In The Box – a ludicrously fun satire of rock cliches.

01-Sumo On My Back
02-Used To Even Care
03-Halitosis Girl
04-Hypocrite Carnage
05-Big Bad Noise
06-Beast In The Box

Ugly Noize Inc. – Nitro Injected Thrash Pop For The Def! (Vinyl E.P. rip – 1990)

Prior to the release of their sort-of debut album D*nce Like A Bastard!!, Ugly Noize Inc. (formally Yeah God!) released the E.P. Nitro Injected Thrash Pop For The Def! This release contains one album track (A Prayer…) and three non-album tracks, the best of which is probably Bomber. I must admit, I was a slightly disappointed with this E.P. as the songs seem a bit lazy and generic. It’s not bad, but it’s a mile away from the creative wackiness of D*nce Like A Bastard!! and Noizgasm. To be honest, tracks 2-4 almost sound like a different band. Maybe I’m being harsh – I’ll give it a few more listens – but it’s definitely not up to the band(s) prior and future releases! Anyway, vinyl rip with HQ covers (the front cover is a work of art!) in the link below.

01-A Prayer To The God Of Obscure And Skint Independent Artistes
02-Ded Set On Destruction
03-Bomber
04-! (No More, Waste Of Time)
