Record Store Days are an excellent concept, albeit somewhat futile. One thing they do harvest is some interesting off-the-wall releases and the latest one was no exception. Possibly the highlight was a superb EP by one of my new favourite bands, A Place To Bury Strangers. They decided to cover a few songs by little known punk band Dead Moon and ended up doing a damned fine job of it. It’s a lot more raw and gutsy than their usual execution and worth an earful of your time right now. The EP was called ‘Strange Moon’ and is a bit of a rarity, so value this opportunity if you will.
