I’m really looking forward to the death of the CD, certainly the most artless media we’ve seen in our lifetime. Vinyl’s coming back, baby, believe it. People wanna actually own a little piece of the bands they love, and an easily replicated compact disc just doesn’t hold the same emotional weight as a chunk of beautiful black wax. This observation has nothing to do with the actual music here, but I mention it because the “Death Can Wait” split EP comes in both the digital format and a deluxe double 7” in gatefold sleeve. I have the former because that’s what TKO sent me, but if I was a scruffy young punk rocker looking for a triple dose of the tough, catchy, power-riffing streetcore Complete Control are known for, including a very ’77 riot-starting cover of the Krum Bums’ “Cease Fire”, plus another three tracks worth of blunt, choppy thrash  and venomous spitting from the Krum Bums (including an equally manic Complete Control cover, natch), then I would most certainly go for the old school version. And then I’d bang some chick in a Mohawk while I spun this vicious beast on a beat up ol’ turntable. And it would be awesome. __________________________________________________
