Libyan Hit Squad/Round Eye Split 12" Review

I'm really excited to tell you about the growing punk scene in Beijing and Shanghai China! I got to listen to the album Full Circle which is a split between American defunct band Libyan Hit Squad and Chinese punk band Round Eye. This would be a great party record because the sound varies between tracks and never gets tiring. Stand outs from LHS include the fun song "Rubber Shoes" and "Full Circle" which features Black Flag mastermind Greg Ginn. Round Eye is great upbeat punk rock featuring a sax. I like the songs with lyrics the most like "Kenting" and "I'm So Young". Round Eye has a super full sound that builds with plenty of energy. There is also an awesome Round Eye music video where you can see what a punk show in China looks like. The show looks about the same as here, a bunch of people packed into a small dirty space having the time of there life. The video is set up like a horror flick and was really well done.

Get the record here!
