Turtle Rock by Sharp Pins
Sharp Pins "Turtle Rock"" [KLP311/PRNL64]
Back to where it all began
Sharp Pins’ #1 Record
inflection point in youth revolution propaganda
A clarion teenage call for all the mods too young
to skin their knees on Quadrophenia Alley
Robinson’s garden on the path of the new wave.
Reviews have been terse compared to the opportunity this Long Player holds
“Alex Chilton if he joined the Homosexuals “
“The kids are alright”
“Hidden gem”
Sharp Pins are too busy staying up late watching yé-yé movies.
13 tracks 33RPM
Sharp Pins is the super solid lo-fi noise pop project of talented
Chicago musician Kai Slater of Lifeguard and Dwaal Troupe.
