Paradise 01:37
Nights are long You are gone Lonely throngs  Walk right on  A soft bitter taste like rust  In the back of my mouth starts growing.  Night and day  I'm away Foreign lands Aimless hands A soft bitter taste like rust  In the back of my mouth starts growing.  Paradise falling in the back of my mind  Paradise falling is all I can find  Paradise peaceful so far away  Paradise dying what can I say? Searching on Walking long Searching on Something's wrong. A soft bitter taste like rust In the back of my mouth starts growing.

Mind Scan 01:35
Don't be afraid it's just a game we like to play Don't be afraid it's just a game we can play Drill a hole through the top Of your head recording EEGS Signals translated in LED The markings appear all in red. Rip out the electrodes patch up into space You're a full fledged member of the human race  In your memory banks nothing to lose It moves much faster now your brain is fused Drill a hole, etc.
3.
I can't help it if I shake when you're around  But you see  I'm trying to crawl back into this body  I used to know  It's moving much faster now Than I remember  Barely myself I'm learning to adjust to the situation.  I can't help it If I shake.

about

NEGATIVES - Whole Lotta Shakin’ 7” (LUNGS-265)

In the early days of punk amidst the gritty pop riffing and cocaine blasted glam holdovers of CBGB, Max’s Kansas City and the like, Negatives sauntered into life as an anti-poser power trio who enjoyed writing music that was anything but pop. Consisting of reconfigured fallout from The Erotics and Inside Out (no, not that Inside Out), they employed a jagged, machine tight, hyped up guitar centric new wave approach to skewer what little public actually saw them with biting tracks about drugging, paranoia, anxiety and the mindless contentment of standard humans. Big city shit… Without much support, they managed to gig for about 6 months or so before disappearing into the hazy annals of the “me decade”. They did manage to track a few songs and release this lone EP that was all but lost until a lucky thumb met a curious eye in a New York record bin.

With some help from friends, we were able to rescue this incredible EP from obscurity and we are beyond excited to offer this KBD monster to you now, freshly remastered from the original and finally in a picture sleeve.

500 copies on black 70gr vinyl housed in a 12 pt reverse board custom ILR silver lined glue pocket sleeve. Originally recorded in a now long defunct rehearsal studio in midtown Manhattan around 1979/1980. Exact dates are unknown as the master tapes were lost a long time ago. Recut and remastered by John Golden in 2023. Art by Jensen Ward.
