Tommy and the Commies: Four song single: 7”
Here lies another favorite from two Gonerfests ago, back in the days of yore when you could be in the same room with a band. Tommy and the Commies play snotty, ’77-style punk with an urgent hump and a MOD jump. And talk about olden-days value: this four-song spinner rips and rips. “Hurtin’ for Certain” opens the single with a quickness patching verse and chorus with a melodic guitar run. “Impulse Action” is a boxcar on this train with an awesome staccato riff for the chorus. I hate to compare, but if you love the Buzzcocks, you’ll love this. The album is great. This single is great. No filler band. ‘Nuff said. – Billups Allen (Slovenly)
