Finderskeepers Double Review!!! it's like a double rainbow...but with reviews?

Like the title says:  double review.  First:  7" review.  Second: Release show review.


I asked my buddy Turtle (PunkRockReview) to review this,  seeing as he does not write reviews anymore,  and they usually turn out pretty funny whether they are good or not.  Here's what he has to say:

I've been out of the review game for a while, but when my old friend Franky asked me to pitch in and review his friends band for old times sake I couldn't turn him down. I asked "What if their terrible, you've been listening to some pussy music lately. He replied that they were straight forward punk non-pussy shit" & "When has Ottawa let you down." He was right about one thing Ottawa seldomly has let me down. The Creeps, Riptides, Visitors, etc... are Ottawa area bands I love. Sadly Finderskeepers has proven Franky to not only have a bad taste in music, but also has made me mistrust the Ottawa punk scenes future. I had jokingly ask Franky if the song "Red Riding" was about period sex, prior to listening to Finderskeepers and to be honest heavy flow period sex sounds better than listening to this sludge. The recording sounds like it was done from a DIY Pringles can microphone, the vocals are unrecognizable and overall the music sounds like an unfinished generic garage band practice session. Normally I really dislike instrumentals, but in this case "Red Riding" aka the Period Sex song (instrumental) was the best part of the demo. Only because I didn't have to hear the distorted drowned out vocals anymore. Don't waste you time listening to this.     

While this does not represent my personal opinion,  it's worth a read anyways.


And last night ( feb 28th 2014...in case you somehow read this in 10 years...)  was the EP release show.

First up:  NECK : straight forward 1-2-3-4 pop-punk.  short and sweet set, leaves you wanting more every time.

Second:  RAWRAWRIOT:  All girl punk band, aside from being pretty ladies (really? i'm saying they are pretty why? well, they are) are really talented and extremely catchy.   The guitarist from the band comes from my hometown,  so that's a bonus,  check them out if you can.

Third:  Finderskeepers: my memory is a big hazy on this one,  too many beers were in me by this point.  Fuck it.  Keep an eye on Ottawa Showbox  they will have a whole let better review of this show soon.

I'm going back too bed.  too many post show cheeseburgers.
