the throwaways/spastic panther split 7

okay i'm just about out of stuff to review so i thought i'd do this. sometimes i don't like the idea of reviewing something that was just posted on a blog but now i don't really care. what's up with canada? they just keep turning out great bands. especially new bands. both these bands are are from canada. that's why i wrote that. anyway on to the review. first up is the throwaways. what can i say? fantastic! just fantastic powerpop (and yes zach it is powerpop) with amazing female vocals. i have to say if i was gonna start a powerpop band (which i'm not against doing) i would probably have a girl on vocals. i just think it works. these girls (and guy) have 4 great songs that really leave me wanting more. a lot more! spastic panther are very good but to be honest i'm not in the mood for much hardcore right now. it's because i'm outside and it's really hot and nice. that's where the throwaways come in. maybe when i have to go back to school i'll get into spastic panther. great band name though. i have a cat that looks like a panther and another cat who's spastic as hell. so combine them and you have a spastic panther. i really think these guys are a joke though. that's not an insult. i like it but really not in the mood. get it however you can. and if a member of the throwaways reads this (which you won't be) maybe you can fill in who's in the band and where people can get this which they should. and please put out more stuff!

  2. Hey! I just found this review! I'm Jessie from the Throwaways! We still haven't released anything new, but are working on a couple new recordings! Hoping for a 7" one day maybe in the summer? The other members (which are listed on the split :P) are Warren on drums and Arielle on lead guitar/vocals! You should check out their other bands too! Arielle is in The Shrapnelles and Warren's in the Mandates! (Both from Calgary)

    I'm glad you like our stuff though, it's always fun to hear what people outside of Calgary/Alberta think about us!!
