Bandaid Brigade - I'm Separate

by GE 138.

Artwork by Paul Smith

A bunch of old Punk guys from bands like Pears, Street Dogs, Scorpios, ​and The Gamits, get together to embrace and celebrate their inner 70's geek and put out an album full of sickly sweet afternoon delight vocals and catchy vapid Emo sounding songs all played at 120 bpm ala Thelma Houston or Donna Summer guaranteed to keep the dance floor moving. Ugh. This album from Bandaid Brigade is well produced, well mixed and all that, but all the songs on here sound like a 70's TV show theme song and since I actually had to live through this 70's shit before, the band's emulating of this craptacular music of that time period on this release does absolutely fuck all for me. This album called I'm Separate could easily be mistaken for one of those late night 'Best of the 70's' compilations or for one of those 70's golden hits mix CD's you find at a truck stop in South Dakota at 3 in the morning, and that my friend is not a good thing. I'm not hip enough or young enough or naive enough to see the irony or the creative expressionism going on with this release from Bandaid Brigade. It sucks. Hard pass.
