Take out the trash and mop the floor Or you won't live here anymore You better sweep this dirty house Or else I'm gonna kick you out Bring in the dog, put out the cat You're such a spoiled fucking brat Pick up your socks and mow the lawn Or else tomorrow you'll be gone Bad roommate You never bathe, it isn't cute So now you're gonna get the boot You smell like cheese and spoiled meat You're getting thrown out on the street Take out the trash and mop the floor Or you won't live here anymore You better sweep this dirty house Or else I'm gonna kick you out You better sweep This dirty house It's really dirty In this house You better sweep Sweep it now You better sweep This dirty house

about

“Wow! It’s been a minute since I’ve been this bowled over by a release. I don’t know what I was expecting of this Philadelphia four-piece, but it definitely wasn’t oddball, free-jazzy clean hardcore on the subject of keeping a neat house (primarily by way of broom). This cassette is eight tidy tracks that zip by in a spick-and-span seven-and-a-half minutes and sound like some amalgam of MINUTEMEN, DEVO, NEON CHRIST, and a little contemporary herky-jerk. It’s strange, funny without being jokey, and absolutely exceptional. Get on it, you neat freaks!“ -Alex Howell, MRR
