Kindling’s “Vs. The Police” Gets A Surprise Vinyl Reissue

Armed with a reverent, but never dull take on shoegaze and a severe need to make your skin buzz at the mercy of their amps, Easthampton’s Kindling are the rare kind of basement show act that make you question if a basement can (or should) be able to contain their sound.

2015’s Galaxies EP (which was one of our favorites of the year) acted not only as the band’s strongest offering, but as partial evidence for Massachusetts’s growing status as a hotbed for shoegaze revivalists. With the help of Allston label Disposable America, Kindling continues their reign by dropping a surprise vinyl reissue of last year’s “Hate The Police”, a one-off cover single of The Dicks only previously available online.

With proceeds going towards an anonymous charity (which, according to their Bandcamp, can’t be named “because of the title of the song that we covered”) and only 50 copies printed of the 7″ lathe available, this is certainly an “act now or regret your choice later when the band’s bursting eardrums across the US” kind of decision.
