Well, this was inevitable: the I-94 Recordings Detroit covers series now includes one of Detroit's best present-day bands, the mighty Norcos Y Horchata! There's nothing cooler than seeing one of your favorite bands working with one of your favorite labels. And this team-up is no letdown. "Unkind Sometimes" is the 11th installment in the series, and it finds NYH tackling "Don't Come Crying To Me" by Detroit '77 punks Cinecyde. The movie theme on the cover art is a tribute to two members of Cinecyde running the legendary Thomas Video in the Detroit area back in the day. On the A-side, "Unkind Sometimes" is something a little different from NYH. The band takes some risks on this song, and they all pay off handsomely. The long introduction, the deliberate, almost tribal drum beat, and the dueling shouted vocals in the chorus all contribute to this song's distinct feel. NYH's tough, anthemic punk rock 'n' roll style remains fully in tact, but this song is unique in the band's catalog and instantly memorable because of that. While this band began as Amado's quarantine solo project, it has grown into a true group. Dougie, Roman, and Annie all make essential contributions to this song. This is a killer track, and of course the Cinecyde cover totally smokes. You know you need this record! There are 13 color variations of the vinyl with old school movie ratings on the sleeves. Happy shopping!
