The Side Effects s t ep 1981 DB

The Side Effects s t ep 1981 DB


You might be inclined to deduce from the album jacket that The Side Effects were of garage/psych rock stock, but low and behold youd be mistaken.  In fact, this long defunct Athens, GA trip had something more alluring and challenging to offer.  Post-punk was more their bag, albeit not of the brooding variety.  The commencing "Raining" massages a Gang of Four riff, retooled by
leadman Kit Swartzs chiming staccato aplomb.  "French Forest" is doubly more enticing sounding like a spot-on merger of Pylon and Mission of Burma, and "Through With You" delightfully finagles a descending arpeggio you can take to the bank.  Bassist Jimmy Ellison passed away from a brain tumor not long after this record hit the market.  This ep, so far as I can, tell was the only release to the bands credit, save for an appearance on the Squares Blot Out the Sun compilation.
