Jeff Dahl

"Spazz Attack" / "I Can't Explain"   EP

(Ghost Highway Recordings)



Greatly to stage-stalker Jeff's credit, his 2024 release busts wide open with the same sweaty vocal determination and axe violence that typified his infamous earlier savageries. Brawny "Spazz Attack" hurtles. Its zero-excess arrangement illustrates that years have only seasoned Jeff's songcraft bent.

No audio clip of his revisiting Townsend's "I Can't Explain" is available for review. But an online account by Jeff's collaborator, guitarist Zepp Oberpichler, did present itself.

"There isn't much I can say about 'I Can't Explain,'" Oberpichler wrote. "Except that we managed to hammer the song in 1:27 or so - with a guitar solo! Ultra fast, but very contemporary. I'm wondering what Pete Townsend would say about it?"

The two songs appear on a 7" EP, the other side of which features a pair of entries by Spanish Punk outfit Nuevo Catecismo Católico.
