‘Duct Tape
Soup’ is my introduction to Crimpshirne. After hearing and reading about them I
stumbled across this while flicking through the records in Ritual Music and
Books in Melbourne.
Coming from
Berkeley, California,
Crimpshirne formed in 1982 under the name S.A.G. before a name change in 1983
to Chrimpshirne. Members would go on to play in bands such as Operation
Ivy, Rancid, Screeching Weasel, Pinhead Gunpowder, Tilt, amongst others.
‘Duct Tape Soul’ compiles tracks from EPs ‘Caution’ and ‘No
Idea’ the ‘Lame Gig Contest’ LP and comps ‘Floyd’, Collecter Nerd’ and ‘World
In Shreds’ Vol 1 and 2. The recording is rough. But that’s all part of its
charm. The LP comes with a zine containing lyrics, interviews, written pieces
by the band and more.
A worthwhile addition to the collection and a history
lesson.
