***BACK IN STOCK!!!  After concocting a batch of 7-inch singles that leaked from various Twin Cities basements, here is the debut LP from Color TV—speedy punk rock that slaps with tight bursts of melody and quirk, filled with the sardonic musings of living in the sci-fi dystopian hellscape that is the now. Heavily influenced by early UK punk and USHC with subtle underpinnings of bands like Sparks and Ultravox, this is punk music clearly made by lifers obsessed with the underground counter-culture. Come, children, time to gather around and drink the electric Kool-Aid of C-TV.

Deranged

Hailing from the Twin Cities, Color TV is the new band featuring some of the folks who brought you The Retainers, W.H. Walker, and Cheap Time, amongst others. They play dynamic, hook-laden punk rock that is tight and to the point, with raw production that harkens back to the sounds of yesteryear. A range of influences can be traced in this debut—Killed By Death bands, the Good Vibrations label, assorted Oz punk, the Red Snerts: Sound of Gulcher compilation, and an undeniable early Minneapolis sound à la Suicide Commandos. Songs that are short and sweet with a black eye.
