Neon Taste Records
Vancouver’s Bootlicker are back with their first full length. Experimenting with various lineups and sounds since 2017, these 14 original tracks flesh out their most realized expression. Following four EP’s and two demos, their self-titled debut stays true to the noise cultivated in the previous offerings. That raw, blown-out production countered with clean guitar sound and Internationally-informed take on a UK82 delivery remains. Everything that made the band what they were on their previous output is polished into a ball of fire that will not be contained. Their mid-tempo, menacing posture of tracks like "Herd The Sheep" and "State Of Fever" give way to the D-beat totality of "Master" or "Two Faced" proving there are still ideas in the tank. There won’t be much left but scorched earth by the time it comes to rest. FFO: Mau Maus, Discharge, SSD.
Every copy of this LP comes with 16 page zine-style lyric insert full of illustrations by band member and visual artist Athena.
Mixed and Mastered by Will Killingsworth

Purple or lavender, the photo not exactly representative, but my girlfriend sez it's very pretty--like the music I would add, pretty ugly! Pretty like a barbed wired sock in the face!
