The Phil Collins 3

Split 7"

Label: Victory Garden Records

7407
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver June 30th, 2004

And there was me thinking limited-edition seven inches were all about indie bands playing twee songs for girls in Hello Kitty outfits; boy, was I ever wrong! This rocks harder than playing swingball with the moon. Hey Colossus burst all colostomy bags and tractor tyres within a fifty mile radius with their take on Fang's 'The Money Will Roll Right In', a song also covered by Mudhoney. HC's version is bigger, plus it snarls like a half-starved pitbull in a burger van queue. Lords send things a little sideways on the flipside with their 'Back Up! Back Up!'. Its Sabbath-goes-Beefheart-through-a-prog-rock-mincer (hmm, beef theme anyone?) vibe is wickedly enjoyable, even if it makes as much sense as David Beckham's weekly cheque. Chances are Mudhoney have never covered a Lords song, but if they did they wouldn't top this. Crave volume? Feed your addiction with this.
