Scared Of Chaka - s/t (702, 1996)


Their ten-song EP from '96. Most of the tracks clock in at under two minutes or so. Fun, spastic punk rock with a New Wave bent here and there. You could describe Chaka as a polite Angry Samoans (how fuckin' weird is that?!?!?) or a more-introspective Dickies (see last parenthetical notation). "Sexy Figure," "Submarines," and "Two In The Morning" (One of the worst times of the day...I meant night...No, I really meant day -- NOTE: These aren't lyrics to the song, just me acting drunk) are three of the key tunes represented. Cover of Elvis Costello's "Hand In Hand" fits like a tight mitten.
