Rodan - How The Winter Was Passed 7" (1994)

I can't for the life of me remember where I found this, but I suppose thats not important. Whats important is having it. I only wish I had the real copy in my hands, but I'm not much of a collector and this 7" is definitely out of print. Somehow it just slipped by my awareness at the time...

After being a fan of Rodan since their hey dey, it is a fine thing to hear two more song that I've never heard before. The songs are Milk & Honey and Exoskeleton. Milk & Honey is very similar to Shiner from Rusty. A raging, jagged Louisville hardcore song. Exoskeleton is longer and resembles the rest of the songs on Rusty, with spoken word/ shouted delivery, angular post-rock forays and of course churning, volatile rhythms.

Both songs are highly recommended for any fans of the genre. And when I gt a chance I will up their track from the Simple Machines comp. It is a song called Darjeeling, and while not as good as these two songs is worth having for any completist...
