As with the previous albums, some tracks were the unquestioned high points, in this case the opening roar of \"Super-Fire,\" with some of Scott McCloud's best guitar work ever, a controlled blast of riffs, and \"TheKindaMzkYouLike,\" which gives everyone the chance to break out the funky fresh beats in their own style — feedback and all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2LP: Packaged in a full-colour gatefold jacket, side A and B are the original album remastered by Bob Weston (Shellac).

Avoiding the clichés of early-'90s indie rock for its own surly, charismatic edge, Girls Against Boys here kicked out the jams like nobody's business. Ted Niceley helped out Janney with the recording, and together they got an amazing sound out of the band, its now thoroughly bass-heavy approach (Janney was now specifically credited with the instrument along with Temple) brawling like a bastard. A comparison to Flipper could be made, but instead of the generally slow, death-march tempos of that act, Girls Against Boys always keep moving, a dark death dance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Touch and Go","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50490722287947,"sku":"2020926","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a1358764408_10_ca0afd6f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727671587"},{"product_id":"cruise-yourself-remastered","title":"Cruise Yourself (Remastered)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1994, Girls Against Boys' second full-length release for Touch and Go Records, \u003cem\u003eCruise Yourself\u003c\/em\u003e, is characterized by catch vocal lines wrapped in a sonic double-bass low end.
