More Splits
This is a pair of Flexis.
Adjust sonic expectations accordingly.
Choo Choo Train/ Eye Pilgrims (1989)
Choo Choo Train. Ric Menck & Paul Chastain pre-Velvet Crush.
Eye Pilgrims were from Hartlepool, UK and only existed on various compilations which is a bit of shame. I like their contribution here.
Spinning Jennys/the Fat Tulips (1990)
I have no idea where precisely Spinning Jennys were from. (I went with Bristol since that's where the label that put out their sole single was based.) It's unfortunate because their song here is fucking great. A masterwork of the genre. Kudos to them.
The Fat Tulips hailed from Peterborough. They put out a bunch of seven inches but only managed a singular full length in their career. Several of those releases were on Sunday Records. You know what you're getting into with that.
That said. Probably not my favorite song of theirs that I've heard so far.
Play the other one.
The Spinning Jennys were a baggy indie band from Norfolk (UK) formed in the early 90s, releasing one single entitled "It's It It It" and proceeding to release tracks on multiple indie compilations in the UK during that time. They were signed to Teatime Records.
