Northwest twee-pop, or the Vaselines on an old-timey kick, Olympia"s The Pasties are a blast ... and the group had more genuine excitement and spunk than anything I"ve heard in a long time." -- Paul M. Davis, Punk Planet The Pasties are a folky punk orchestral army utilizing only the worthy instruments of a polka band. Hail Seizures are thrift punk/trash folk with strings and toy piano. After meeting in Olympia and playing many shows together, The Pasties and Hail Seizures recorded this split CD. Punk As Folk is high-energy and fun. The tunes are catchy, poppy, folky, punky, and meet with fans from high school, college, and all ages. From acoustic alleyways to electrified stages across the US and Europe, both bands use classical and unconventional instruments to play punk rock.
