[MP3] Tough Knuckles: “Is It What I Said”
October 18th, 2010 by Matt
I got this sent to me today with the description that a magazine called them “the new Pavement.” Man, if I had a dollar every time I heard that, I could probably buy the old Pavement.
MP3: Tough Knuckles – Is It What I Said
Well there’s definitely a Pavement element here, but I’d say it’s Pavement on Drank. If Malkmus was playing like this, I’d worry he was about to collapse. But the slow sound works for Tough Knuckles. Now they just need to work a little on their lyrics and they’ll be all good.

This shit sounds nothing like Malkmus. It sounds more like the pixies on hash.

Yeah, that guitar part is totally Santiago inspired.

Not really feeling the “slow” element of this song…I’d like to hear something else from them before making a “I’m a fan” decision…

Yeah I’d also have to say this sounds more like a chilled ass Pixies. But good stuff, I’ll have to check out more of their music.
