Band: Redd Kross Title: Switchblade Sister Rating: Release Date: 1995-04-16 Media: Audio CD Tracks: 1: Switchblade Sister 2: What's Wrong With Me? 3: I Don't Know How to Be Your Friend [Live]

Great Redd Kross EP " The sounds on the Switchblade Sister EP would bridge the gap from the fuzzy bubblegum of its major-label debut Third Eye, and the hyper-confident after-school power pop of its next album Phaseshifter; the title most likely lifted from the aforementioned lyric. The title track of the Switchblade Sister EP, one of the band's greatest compositions and a staple of its live set for many years to follow, contained the lyric "swinging like a new phaseshifter. Every track on this extended-play recording is a gem, a fine example of a band that reached full speed on Neurotica and never stopped running. Included here is a great live version of "I Don't Know How To Be Your Friend. " Also, not to be missed is the infamous cover photo of "Sister. " The Switchblade Sister EP is absolutely essential for any fan of Redd Kross, and if you can get the Canadian version instead of the U. K. offering, you will find it includes two additional songs: "Trance" and "Byrds & Fleas"; both Redd Kross classics. The cover photo on the Canadian EP replaces "Sister" with a peek inside her purse - itself, quite an eye-opener. - Terrance Miles, AMG .
