Minor Fret Release Debut 7″ Four

It’s a concept project. Last month, when we heard from friend of the site Aaron Edge of Lumbar, Roareth and many, many others, it was the news that he’d broken his back mountain biking. And given his track record, it’s not surprising, then, that he’d have a new release out, “persistence” being his thing the way “that grind-your-own peanut butter from the Big Y” is my thing and your thing is whatever your thing is. We’ve all got one.

Recorded prior to that injury, Minor Fret‘s Four reimagines Minor Threat as a sludge band. Edge features on vocals, while Rob Lovell of Louisiana’s No Youth handles the instruments, and the debut 7″, which features the Minor Threat classics “Seeing Red,” “Small Man, Big Mouth,” “Straight Edge” and “Filler,” has just been released in an edition of 300 on Holy Mountain Printing. Info and audio follow, as screamed at a wall by the PR wire:
