Cheap Time: Take 'em Home With You
When this trio started out, it contained something like two-thirds of Be Your Own Pet, one of the more over-hyped of the over-hyped in the last few years. It’s actually surprising that Cheap Time had Jemina Pearl in its hands, if even only for a minute, and wasn’t able to capitalize on that in some obtuse marketing snafu.
As it is now, the band continues issuing work as concerned with punk’s significance in the underground culture as it is with a garage lineage pulled from a backlog of records. Either way, judging from the cover of the group’s first long player, they rank as the reining heartthrobs over at In the Red Record.
