Iron Chic were a punk band that were huge for me around 2012/2013. Their albums were such a surprise... so catchy and so much fun... and it felt like I was listening to them constantly during those years that I first discovered them. They released a bunch of singles at the time as well, but for one reason or another I didn't put much effort into chasing them... part of that may have been because they did a few split 7 inches and I just wasn't interested in some band that I'd never heard of on the b-side, but in the case of the Ys EP it just wasn't easily available at the time.
The Ys 7 inch was released from a label in Australia, and I remember at the time that it was just a difficult one for me to get my hands on. It seemed like it was only available from overseas sellers, and I wasn't interested in paying the postage to get one so I threw it onto my Discogs want list and figured that at some point I'd be able to pick it up for a decent price. Fast forward 10 years, and I was finally able to grab a copy.
It's kind of nice that it took me this long to get my hands on this 7 inch as it is some new Iron Chic material that I hadn't heard until now. Two new songs and a cover of Dog Bite from Dead Kennedys... yeah, this sounds good in my ears.
