Shock Treatment "...So Many Little Things" cd (Rumble Fish Records/2003)

One of the great benefits from doing the record label all of these years has been through trading records with other labels to distro I have been afforded the great opportunity to hear some truly great music. So not only do I get to distro it, generally speaking if I really like something it finds its way into my personal music collection. And that is exactly what Shock Treatment's ...So Many Little Things represents. Hailing from Italy and released by DIY label Rumble Fish Records in 2003, Shock Treatment play loud, discordant post punk that reminds me a lot of bands like Shellac, Uzeda, Bellini, etc. It has that fingernails on a chalk board Steve Albini-esque guitar sound all over it. ...So Many Little Things is pummeling albeit in a good way. Over the years the band has been very prolific releasing a few albums, eps, 7 inches, and comp appearances but for whatever reason this was the only release I was able to ever get my hands on. This is one of the finest releases that I have ever carried in my distro and I do believe I have a copy or two remaining.
