***Slumberland group SEA LIONS travelled to the UK for the first time in July 2012 to play Indietracks and tour with UK group GOLDEN GRRRLS. To commemorate the occasion, they put together a limited 7-inch which now sees worldwide release. Both bands contribute an original song and a cover version. Alongside “On and Off”—as close to an anthem as they’ve written yet—Sea Lions take apart “Nervous Breakdown” by Black Flag, turning it into a shamble-core nugget of shrill guitar marked by ADRIAN PILLADO’s laconic vocal delivery. Golden Grrrls tackle “I Don’t Want You Anyway” by Kiwi group Look Blue Go Purple, remaining fairly faithful to the original with some added punk energy, while their original is a garage pop bullet in the form of “Billy,” one which RUARI MACLEAN takes lead vocal to counter the female backing.
