Edinburgh based label Song, By Toad, is out with their early 2012 session release, a split 12” vinyl featuring four Manchester bands Paws, Waiters, Sex Hands & Dolfinz. Recorded mostly live in studio with
minimal overdubs, Side A features seven tracks while Side B hosts six, each side showcasing all of the guitar bands. Paws is the best known, with their fuzzy grunge-pop on four of the tracks which include a cover of Big Deal’s “Chair”; yet Waiters bring an atmospheric vibe with their brand of shoegaze, quartet Sex Hands deal out indie pop, and Dolfinz bring their own mix of angst and raw garage rock. Fans of vinyl and those with a passion for early 90’s indie guitar rock should definitely check out this compilation. – Written by SMarx
