Claw Toe: Ingrown Ego 7"

Darius, head honcho of Criminal IQ Records, throws his hat into the synth-punk game with this short but sweet two-song 7". The a-side honestly isn't that good... it seems like a self-conscious attempt to be "creepy," or maybe it's just a parody of self-conscious attempts to be creepy, but it's kind of annoying. The b-side picks up the tempo (synth-punk still has the word "punk" in it) and comes off like one of the more memorable Blank Dogs tracks. Cool stuff and ltd to 300 hand-numbered copies, so don't sleep. Criminal IQ Records
