In Which I catch up to Whores

I try to keep up. I don't always make it, but I try. So, I don't feel too bad that I blew off Whores until seeing them pop up in a few end-of-year lists. Well, I've heard the "Clean" Ep, and it's really good. A Sabbathy Noise rock record, it's got plenty of Am Rep bite, but retains enough classic rock songwriting that it could be compared to a grunge record. I don't know if I'd call it one of the year's best, but a good Ep, sure.... It's like  Helmet meets KARP or Laughing Hyenas. Good, but not something I'd wave the flag for...
