Strong debut release from this brand-new Winnipeg post punk outfit. XERTZ are an anomaly – the songs are desperate and gloomy, referencing WIPERS MISSION OF BURMA. Yet they also have the aggressive emotional sensibility of mid 80’s DISCHORD bands like IGNITION and EMBRACE. XERTZ offers a fully realized, cohesive, and cathartic debut that draws influence from various areas, yet remains fresh and unique. Music to stay awake and watch the sunrise to. 100 Copies – Pro-duplicated. Electric Heat Records (EH-002)
