the Job can work for you
Since we’ve been known to focus on local scenes in this bi-provincial blog, consider this a public service announcement: the Job is coming to Regina and you should probably be there.
They’re scheduled to play the tiny SCES Club (better known as the other half of the Exchange) July 16th, unleashing their frenetic, old-school punk fury on the Queen City’s overworked citizens. I’m anticipating it will be quite a treat for the lucky few that show up.
Recorded in a single day, their self-titled debut album is as reverential as it is relevant in today’s punk rock climate. Spastic, jittery power chords serve as the backbone of a sound that melds the Buzzcocks, the Clash, and XTC into a rollicking and riotous package. Not sure about the fuax-British accent on some of the tracks, but it certainly lends some attitude to the proceedings and the melodic vocals are varied and charming enough to hold their own regardless.
On the whole its a dynamic set of songs that screams to be heard in a live setting. I’m hoping plenty of my fellow citizens take the opportunity to join me for an exciting gig by some promising up-and-comers.

For the meantime, peep the Job’s myspace, I guess, and attend the shows to get your hands on the disc.
Cool. They’re playing an instore at Neptoon soon.
