Texas label 540 records continue to dig up more pieces to the puzzle that was Brisbane’s underground punk scene during the late 70’s/ early 80’s with a re-issue of Just Urbain’s second EP. After their first release, which was created out of a shared studio session with label mates Young Identities and Bodysnatchers, both Just Urbain and Young Identities travelled up to Forest Glen to record their second EP’s. If you haven’t already clued onto this, the original pressings are highly sought after by collectors and are going for ridiculous prices over on ebay, but if you’re like me and way to poor to ever cough up that kinda money but still want to grab yourself a piece of Brisbane punk history, then I suggest you snap these records up right away. This EP shows Just Urbain being a little more experimental and trying their hand at the occasional guitar solo. Title track “everybody loves” is the standout piece with a loose Stooges/Asheton style guitar solo beaming in and out from the buzzsaw rhythm guitar.
