L.A.'s Radwaste features two members of Urinals and 100 Flowers (John Talley-Jones and Kevin Barrett), as well as an unusual four-drummer lineup. They play percussive post-punk with a funk undercurrent that definitely brings to mind groups like Gang of Four, Minutemen, fIREHOSE and even the very early Red Hot Chili Peppers. This EP is busy, energetic and right on the dividing line between post-punk and early alternative rock. It sounds great too since Ethan James engineered it ('Double Nickels on the Dime', 'If'n', etc.), which allows the percussion to really come alive. Bassist Talley-Jones trades main singing duties with guitarist Michael Kory and the band comes up with a lot of intriguing musical ideas. The songs themselves aren't the most memorable compositions ever but all are certainly exciting as they play, enough so to keep coming back for lots of additional listens. 'Cooking and Nothingness' is worth discovering and is another fine musical document on the venerable Happy Squid label. fIREHOSE fans will especially dig this. [SOURCE: RATE YOUR MUSIC]
