 | Razorcake will send you one free issue if you ask your librarian if they would carry Razorcake in their stacks. (This offer is good for both traditional libraries and independent libraries.) To get the free issue, you must send us the librarian's name and email and the library's postal address. We will then contact them directly and donate a subscription to them. U.S. libraries only, due to postage. | |

DEREK LYNN PLASTIC:
Plastic Surgery: 7" EP
I do believe it’s more of a spontaneous generation than an empty trend—new wave smacked on the jagged boulders of garage rock, exploding in a bounty of once-buried treasure. There are several bands doing this, and doing it well. The nearest cousin to Derek would be the dearly missed Lost Sounds: science experiments gone wrong, psychosis being wrestled with, and dirty electronics used as percussion instruments then caressed back into a melody. The best of all, the songs are thickly spined and muscled into form by solid songwriting instead of mere shtick or amateurish “hey, look at me being rad by sucking”-isms. In turns, this reminds me of Gary Numan, the Reatards, Joy Division, Human League, and a male-lead Epoxies. Good stuff.
–Todd Taylor (Florida’s Dying)
