What’s up Sorry State readers? I hope everyone had a great week. As expected, the show this past week at The Pour House was amazing. All three bands (Scarecrow, Homemade Speed, and Paprika) absolutely killed it and it was a great way to spend a Wednesday night. Always a hoot. I’m pretty sure the next show in Raleigh will be on the 24th at Neptunes and Scarecrow will be ripping it up again with Jail and Paranoid Maniac, so mark your calendars! This past week we got a bunch of heat at the store with a bunch of different orders from various labels, so it was a dangerous week for the wallet. I ended up grabbing both Varaus reissues we got in: the 7” and the 1/2 LP. I’m sure most everyone reading the newsletter is familiar with these records, but they’re new to me and they both quickly grabbed my attention. Another reason I’m always grateful for working at Sorry State is cause I’m always introduced to sick shit like this that I’m fairly positive I never would have discovered on my own. I don’t have much of my own thoughts to share on these other than they totally rip and if you don’t own these, I highly recommend snagging them while we have both in stock. Obviously I’m a fan of both, but I’ve had a slight lean towards the 7”. Maybe cause it’s just four tracks, so it’s a little easier to digest while listening for the first few times. If I had to go with a favorite track, I’d say track one on the B side, Tuhoava Voima. Anyways, that’s it for this time, I hope wherever you are you get some great spring weather this week!
