Laffing Gas - It's A Beautiful Day In The Gulch
Nearly four years after delivering a handful of demos along with a live tape then seemingly dropping off the radar release-wise, Bloomington, IN's Laffing Gas swings back at any and all credulous hardcore punk enthusiasts who might have forgotten about them or thought they'd just run their course and faded into obscurity as so many tend to do. "It's A Beautiful Day In The Gulch" showcases ten blazing tracks of classic, Midwestern hardcore punk, the vibe of which is more in debt to the revolutionary aural offerings of the early Touch & Go and/or Version Sound labels or even Kick N' Punch Records as a slightly more modern reference than what the region has become synonymous with in more recent times. Each record comes in a stunning glossy jacket featuring art and layout by the band's guitarist, Kora Puckett.
