[on repeat] SPIKE TRAIN by Future Punx

The new Famous Class 7" has been released and this pairing features Parquet Courts on the A-side and the band's choice of Future Punx on the B-side.  It's always worth buying since they feature great bands, proceeds to go a worthy cause, and the artwork is always exceptional.  Future Punx features members of Parquet Courts, Fergus & Geronimo, and The Keepsies and they definitely steal the show on this release with 'Spike Train' and their 80's, synth heavy sound.  They have one other release for 999 / Livin' In A Movie that was only available digitally in September of 2013 that is also worth checking out.  Let's hope they keep putting stuff out.
