Crack a beer and let those funky cigarettes glow, kid. Here is a full batch of that Garage Punk guck whose sweeter side you were already allowed to taste on the duo's 7'', also on your favorite and humble Punkrock peddler P. Trash Records (yeah, the one that came with Corporate Rock Knockout Magazine #1). But there is also a darker side to the GLOW KIT that makes this a damn vortex of a record. All ya Power Pop freaks will be mucho satisfecho with the way Kasper and Kristoffer make sure that the memory of JAY REATARD and his incomparable way of writing and recording will never fade when they generously borrow from the Punkrock canon in songs like ''Stood a chance'', ''Shallow'', ''Benny the brick'' or ''Special Occasions''. And of course ''Television too'', ''Chance on me'' and the first part of the grande finale ''Take it back'' perfectly match on the label that always delivers the best in catchy Power-Pop.
But there is also another big influence here that seems to gain a lot of impact on today's youngsters. Speeking of JOY DIVISION and other Post-Punk bands of the 80s here. This can be heard in the psyched-out songs ''Head Factory'', ''Knee Deep'', ''Do You Really?'', ''Invisible Ink'', ''Daily Disgust'' and the danceable little hipshakin' hit called ''Misunderstood''. All of these are way more No-Wave Punk, filled with distorted voices, noisy synthesizer sounds, drum machines, robotic beats and modern monotony. So take another toke, keep the smoke inside and follow the spiral downwards along the epic ending of this record.
GLOW KITs Debut LP will find its way into the New Testament of the Garage-Punk/Post-Punk-Bible besides MANIKINS - Epileptic LP, CARBONAS - Goner LP or the classic WARSAW / JOY DIVISION records!!!
