World War IX - When a Good Time Turns to Shit

Haven't been feeling very motivated lately, so here's a quick one for the week.

This is an early "single" from WWIX, when Max was still the vocalist. Personally, I never really cared for his vocals - his voice is a bit dopey and onstage he really seemed to be trying too hard. Compare this version of "Treasure Hunt" to the one on Brown Bagging It with Mike's vocals. There's no comparison; Mike's is way, way better.

But the band is top-notch here as always and it's cool to hear the origins of "the best trashy punk band in NYC," to quote myself.
