Grave Blankets are a slow to mid-tempo garage horror punk band with dual male/female vocals from Columbus. Their influences range from Gun Club to The Mummies. What helps this single not fall flat is the terrific lo-fi recording that isn’t riddled with the intentionally distorted, overly produced fuzz added to so many similar releases in recent years. I’m not crazy about any of the three songs included here, but this record shows enough potential to pique my interest in checking out future releases from the band. Art Ettinger
