In case you aren't familiar with Taste Testors, they are currently dug into the Seattle area and feature current and former members of bands like The Briefs, The Cheap Cassettes, Appaloosa and all sorts of other killer bands from that area. Both of the Taste Testors LP's came out on Moodkiller Records. A label that I must admit I wasn't too familiar with. But they've been around for a while, putting out records here and there since 2005.
Come Back is a direct sequel to The Taste Testors last LP. Like, it picks up right where the last one left off. Is that a bad thing? Absolutely not in my little black book! If you've got a winning formula, why mess with it. The Taste Testors music is a solid undomesticated blend of The Ramones and The Undertones. Injected with a unique elixir of anxiety and mania that only living it today's times can produce. Taste Testors are kind of the blue collar cousin to The Briefs. I mean, the opening song to this record "I Don't Like Working On The Weekend" seems to prove my point! The energy levels and the killer hooks are equally matched with the Briefs, but TT are less spastic and more of a straight forward, powerhouse rock n roll band.
Nile and Leif's loud guitars, Hudson's pounding drums and Nix's snotty vocals. This is what this band offers and coming from these guys, it's enough. Taste Testors are here, right now doing what they do. They stand before you arms extended, offering you a cure. A cure to life's many woes, mounting troubles, and unavoidable tribulations. All you have to do is believe in rock n roll the way generations before us did and this music will help you get by. It'll never hurt, weigh you down or become burdensome in any way. It's here to administer aid and it will if you let it.
You can listen to or buy both Taste Testors LP's from the bands bandcamp or from Moodkiler Records Bandcamp
