From the classy title right down to the separation of Speed and Weed (instead of side A & side , this split seven-inch promises nothing except the fact that four different bands with similar sounds will entertain you for about five minutes. I have to say that the art of the seven-inch has been lost on this generation, and its trip and fall into punk rock’s many subgenres. With that being said, it’s nice to see some folks (who are most likely a touch older) keeping it alive. Realistically, there wasn’t one song out of the four that gave me that climbing-the-ropes-in-gym-class kind of feeling. But I wouldn’t say any of it was bad, and I did get a kick out of the subtle poetry of the Sass Dragons tune entitled “Young Professionals Can Suck My Fucking Dick.” Who said rock 'n’ rollers can’t be gentlemanly? Three stars and an “E” for effort. - Jack Gregory
