VIRGINIA CREEPER / I'M A MESS
RARE USA LAVENDER VINYL 7" SINGLE LIMITED TO 750 COPIES ONLY.
NOW OUT OF PRINT COMES IN FULL COLOUR WRAP-ROUND COVER
PLASTIC IDOL RECORDS PIR-034 2008
YOUNG GOVERNOR is Ben Cook (FUCKED UP, MARVELOUS DARLINGS, NO WARNING, VIOLENT MINDS, etc.), and this is his debut solo record. "Virginia Creeper" and "I'm a Mess" were laid down by the Governor at East End Reclusives, in Toronto, Canada, a dumpy practice space responsible for an impressive amount of recorded work in recent years. Although more pop-infused than the hardcore punk stylings of Ben's present/past, Young Governor solo is arguably as raw and unpredictable as anything he's done, if not more so. The needle-pegged, hyperactive pop of "Virginia Creeper" and "I'm a Mess" offer a glimpse of the Governor's 2009 agenda, and frankly, teasers don't get any better than this. Pressed on beautiful lavender vinyl with a full-color sleeve (layout by Matt Wong), limited to 750 copies.
For those that are unaware, Gov is the 3rd guitarist in Fucked Up, as well as a part of such bands as Marvelous Darlings, No Warning and Violent Minds to name a few over the years. This current incarnation is completely solo, Gov plays everything. The music is a lot more in the powerpop punk style of Marvelous Darlings with a definite nod in the direction of Angry Angles.
