I reviewed The Austerity Program’s new EP Backsliders and Apostates Will Burn EP over at 10Listens yesterday. If you read my initial review you’ll see that this short-player has totally blown me away. Damn. Yeah, I just can’t find enough good things to say about this recording. I’ve had the 4 songs for about a week now and it seems as if they are constantly on repeat.

This is definitely for fans of Shellac/Slint/early Touch & Go stuff. The Austerity Program is two guys and a drum machine, and apparently they are both family guys with kids and advanced degrees. This is family-man punk rock. Take that Henry Rollins! You can read my initial response to their new EP here.

Although the record isn’t released for another month, you can listen to plenty of The Austerity Program on their website and you can get a teaser for the new EP in the youtube promo below. Enjoy.
