Gastunk's 1st self-titled EP is a blistering 8 minutes of pure punk and metal-shredtastic goodness. This EP culminates everything that was great about the band and what undoubtedly made them such an instant hit at the time. Makes you wonder how the handful of other 1984 tracks would've turned out had they enough time or energy to record them. Nevertheless the one-two punch provided by this s/t and their first proper album Dead Song later in 1985 simply was the start of a near flawless discography. Midnight Rain and Sunshine of your Love were just, eh


Devil and Sex were re-recorded the following year for the 'To Fans' EP but those versions, while maintaining the original essence, feel too polished compared to the rawness of the original. The B-side 'Shout' further drives the buzzsaw of J-Punk into your ears. This latter track sadly never made it in their setlists past 1986 which is a shame because it is one of those 1984 gems that stood out.
