The Vinyl Countdown # 1470

Beastwars, Tower Of Skulls/The Sleeper (7”) (2012)

Okay, I haven’t even played this yet. But I’m just excited to tell you that I have it. Beastwars released a kick-ass album already. And they’re about to release another. And ahead of that they’re playing four shows around NZ in support of this limited edition 7” single featuring Tower Of Skulls and The Sleeper. Also it’s a glow-in-the-dark vinyl. And they’ve only played one of the four shows so far (how was it, Auckland?) So I was pretty lucky to come home from another day in/at the office to find this in the letterbox. They are numbered: 250. I have # 65. Can’t wait to give it a hoon – then I’ll give it the proper review. I like this band though. So I don’t think I’ll be disappointed. I love that first album. I like seeing them live. And I look forward to this Friday’s show. Now I’m off to give this a spin… (And to make sure the lights are out).
