Bridge and Tunnel – Rebuilding Year LP (solid white/clear yellow split / ???) plus Live at Fest 9 7” (fruit tingle /???)

I pre ordered the shit out of this album! I was excited enough about a new Bridge and Tunnel album, but the addition of a limited 7” as well was too much.  I also managed to catch them play twice in Sydney and once in Melbourne while they were touring Australia on the back of ‘Rebuilding Year’.

So I’ll start off with the 7”. Rachel (guitar/vocals) broke her hand (in a bike accident?) and as a result couldn’t play guitar for their set at Fest 9. So the band did a covers set with Rachel on vocals. The National Underground were there to record it.

The packaging is simple and effective, black and white paper live shot on the sleeve with a stamp on the back.

Track list:

Side A:

1. Minor Threat – Small Man, Big Mouth
2. Minor Threat – Seeing Red
3. Inside Out – No Spiritual

Side B:

1. Bikini Kill – Rebel Girl
2. Propagandhi – Fuck The Boarder
3. Modern Life Is War - D.E.A.D. R.A.M.O.N.E.S.

Now onto the LP. Everything that I love about this band is here. The twinkly and noodly guitars, unique song structures, duel male/female vocals and meaning full, sincere and heartfelt lyrics. This had me singing along in the first song. I’m a fan of the artwork as well. Who doesn’t like paper mache? And the vinyl looks great! To top it all off it’s housed in a gatefold jacket.

Get this!
