Lidské Zdroje – Pedalling Through (​.​.​.​Part 1)

Dang, duder! Anyone that knows me can attest to the fact I hold my “dang, duder(s)” for only the most outstanding things. From the cover alone, I could tell this band was into physical fitness, and that dedication to self-help and preservation will always be paramount to a successful band. Musically, you are pulled into a lo-fi garage, which is where I imagine their home gym is located, with instantly hummable and toe tapping tunes not unlike SO COW, or HEAD. I could see this on Goner, Dirtnap, and Rad Girlfriend. Some of the tunes have a charming BUZZCOCKS feel, and others have a charming early BLACK FLAG feel. As the record moves on, it gets a bit more refined and loses some of the rustic feel, but still a very solid record that I will be spinning frequently.
