My favorite is the B side, “On The Run”, which would fit comfortably amongst the classic bangers on Iron Fist. This is also the first original release/non repress from Splattered Records, the brainchild of Reed Bruemmer, which has been my favorite new label of 2019 so far, rereleasing some forgotten classics by Cyanide, Nikki and the Corvettes and a few others. Look out for their new release from Japan’s MOWER any day now. Don’t sleep on this band or label!
