The latest offering from I Blame The Parents' Singles Club features two tracks from London scamps Extradition Order pressed to super-limited, sexy red vinyl. Red is, indeed, for danger, as this trio waste little time in kicking out the jams on A-side 'Penetrate'. Possibly named in homage to the track featured on The Stooges revered 'Raw Power', this number transports us back to the era when Iggy and his cohorts actually meant something. Before the drug consumption, before the bloated egos and before the celebrity friends all ruined the band. It’s razored guitar riffs, Manzarek organ propellant and acerbic, snot-nosed vocal delivery is rock ‘n’ roll at its incendiary, volatile best.
Stranger still is B-side 'Warrington', a haphazardly arranged stitchwork of lethargic percussion and half-manic monologues detailing the trials and tribulations of growing up in, you guessed it, Warrington. It’s chaotic and makes little sense, just like adolescence we can assume. Nonetheless, once you are able to get underneath the song’s skin it’s brutally honest and often hilarious lyrical content – witness the story of a particularly promiscuous girl at a party – keeps the attention span from waning, before Extradition Order hit us with dirty slabs of pyschobilly guitar. It’s like The Fall, only a more ramshackle, if you could possibly get such a thing.
