Limited to 500 copies on neon orange vinyl. Spray Paint are a no wave punk outfit from Austin, Texas made up of Chris Stephenson (drums / vocals), Cory Plump (guitar / vocals) and George Dishner (guitar / vocals). Some of you may already know these guys from other projects such as When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth, Expensive Shit and Dikes of Holland. Spray Paint's buzz-sawing guitars run headlong through labyrinthine tunnels of reverb, chased down by some wildly brain-bashing drums. All three members of Spray Paint sing too, helping create an uncontrollable sense of fervour as they jostle for the words. Since forming in 2012, Spray Paint have released two LPs and 7"s through SS-Records as well as readying an upcoming LP for Monofonus Press. Side A's twitchy opener 'Cussin' plays out with some decidedly, derailed guitars, working up a tone of paranoia amid the thumping rhythms. 'Cussin' is almost emblematic of Spray Paint themselves, matching the propulsion against the restraint, locking into a motoric groove that's impossible to escape from. Flipping over 'Three Thumbs Up' is a disorientating number with the band's trio of vocals calling out the lyrics like a repetitive mantra. The overall effect proves less like a list of instructions and more like the unquiet thoughts of a restless head. "I think he's time traveling, he's got no windows, are you sure he's from Houston?" they volunteer in 'Ask My Old Roomate, Man', wrapping up Side B. The track makes room for path-leaping sprees of guitar, offset with stormy blasts of distortion - finishing the 7" as it started; damaged, daring and utterly dogged. Qualities that not only define Spray Paint's sound but are also central to the appeal of this solid slab of repeato-rock rapture.
