I'm not a total Parasites expert, obviously, seeing as they've got about two million records out and I only own about two or three. One thing Dave "Nikki" Parasite is known for is being able to write a really good pop-punk hook, which is definitely born out on the a-side here-- although the song does go on for a bit too long, thanks to the Fastbacks' Kurt Bloch, who enters the Guinness Book of World Records for longest guitar solo on a punk record, I think.
The b-side is a hopped-up cover of Charlie Chesterman's pre-Scruffy The Cat band, The Law, and even though it's a darn good cover, I won't be running off to listen to any Scruffy The Cat anytime soon.
