A couple of the rust-belt cities connect themselves through this new split 7" release. Detroit's Child Bite and Cleveland's This Moment in Black History each offer up one brand new song on this vinyl.
Child Bite bring forth "Mammal Manners" in just under three minutes. The eccentric five-piece sounds like Secret Chiefs 3 fronted by Fred Schneider. It's bizarre, and yet it works, for the most part. Meanwhile, This Moment in Black History's "It's Everything We Do" is a two and a half minute avant-garde mash of 8-bit Nintendo, noise punk, and rock. I'm not really a fan of this, especially the vocals, which are awful. The whole thing comes off rather immature.
Child Bite definitely saves this split recording. This Moment in Black History nearly caused me to melt it down. Four points for Child Bite; zero for This Moment in Black History.
