Cococoma / Hipshakes / Tour Split

Tic Tac Totally

"The best slab of HIPSHAKES I’ve heard since their Slovenly 45 of a few years back, outta focus and outta control! Can you cut ‘n paste that tagline okay? Both songs are equally good garage punk, and that means they equal each other in goodnessosity, but unlike me they aren’t inventing anything new under the Yellow Ball. The flip reintroduces us to old friends COCOCOMA, dudes whose high-water mark after I complete the turn of their screw remains their 7” on Goner, methinks. If you are stepping out of your time machine and you’re watching a Teenage Shutdown band run thru their paces in 1966, would you really get excited when they played ‘Route 66’ to a room full of pimples? No, you wouldn’t, but you’d tap your foot. That’s the Cococoma side of this.”—Z GUN
