Little Cuts’ 7” – Plastic Disasters

It seems like ages since any one heard from The Shins. It’s going on five years since their last album but word is that a new one is on the way in March on Columbia Records. So what have they been doing? Well, it seems Dave Hernandez has been working on getting back to his Scared of Chaka roots with his new band Little Cuts. The band’s first release is the 3-song Plastic Disasters 7”, brought to us by the fine folks at Dirtnap Records.

The title track opens the 7” and it kind of sounds like a rough, throw-away Shins demo. The final two songs, on the other hand, are pure gold. “RRHS” is everything you want from a garage punk band; it’s sloppy, fast, and unrelenting. This song is the sound of the frustrated energy of youth that is always present, no matter how old you get. Little Cuts are working on a full-length album and plan to tour this year, so keep an eye on these guys.
