Vinyl LP pressing. 2012 release, the third album this year from the prolific and recently reunited indie band. Many bands struggle to release three albums in their career, never mind three in one year. Let"s Go Eat The Factory and Class Clown Spots A UFO garnered four-star reviews and amens from the faithful. The Bears For Lunch might top them both. From the opening track, "King Arthur The Red," with its full-throated riffery, slam-tastic drums and even some show-offy lead guitar shredding, it"s evident that GBV Mach II may just now be hitting its stride. The progression is not dissimilar to the one the band made from Alien Lanes to its 1996 high-water mark Under the Bushes, Under the Stars, both in terms of longer, more fleshed-out songs and a semi-pro approach (so to speak) to recording fidelity.
