Fire Drill Review:
"Silk Rotor" is the first single off of the new Robert Pollard long player We All Got Out Of The Army that contains two b-side recordings that you cannot find anywhere else. "Silk Rotor" is a great power popping track that simply snaps, making it a perfect A side. The B sides of course is why you should pick this 7" up as "Fear Of Heat" is a monotone slower tempo experimental track, while "Rare Hazel Japan" is a must have. It has a memorable guitar strum, likable lyrics and a sing along chorus that will keep you coming back. What else could you want from a B side plus the vinyl is limited and orange!

Key Track: "Rare Hazel Japan"
