United Fruit - Shake

As any attendee at one of their many recent Glasgow performances will tell you, United Fruit's rapid realisation of their potential, especially live, has been nothing less than remarkable. Shake captures them at their feral best, thanks in no small way to some nice work by the infamous Chem19 studios in Hamilton. It's a boorish stomp, initially more paced than much of their other material, but eventually escalating into barely restrained fury. B-side Eye Hell View is a trans-European interpretation of Sonic Youth and could arguably have been a strong single in its own right. Very promising stuff.
