NOT VINYL...? Cassettes- honourable mention

Yes the title is 'vinyl in nude,' but can you resist some completely unclothed cassettes? They've buddies with humans for a wee while, and, for me at least, carry a lot of nostalgia with them. My Dad used to record loads of his records to cassette to listen to in the car, and I received from him, age 5, Rancid's ...And out come the Wolves, which would change my life forever (am now a punx i think) cheers pop.
Anyway, cassettes have made quite a revival recently. Here are some more recent ones that I've bought.
The New Tusk- Tropical (1st EP on Close to Home Records) and Monster Trucks (3rd EP on Get Into It Records) I always go on about these guys. They're probably the band I have seen live the most. I like the consistency with certain designs, like the wave logo, font, and this red green & blue bit, while the photos used are cool- that kid on Monster Trucks is on the cover as well, but only when there's a hole in the middle of his face do those eyes take on a creepy feel.

Happy Diving- Big World, Art is Hard Records. A nice simple design- hard to go wrong with a block of red plastic. Art is Hard are pretty rad, a lot of good bands and projects going on there. Hear Happy Diving here https://happydiving.bandcamp.com/

Woah Nows- Life in Reverse/ Watching Accidents single. Now, I'm not sure how I feel about buying a cassette that has only two songs on, but I was pretty impressed with them live at UNFUNFEST 2014, so I caved. I'm pretty sure the lettering and smile (can't you see it?) Is hand painted... Maybe tippex. Hear them here https://woahnows.bandcamp.com/

THC (Te Ache Ce)- Epish, Let them Die Records. I think this EP from Argentinian hardcore punk band THC was a limited run of 40 copies, probably why the title and lettering is done by hand in marker. And, of course a band called 'THC' would choose green as the colour for their cassette... Hear them here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlUe_xZj4Rw&feature=youtu.be

Doe- Sooner. I also got this at UNFUNFEST 2014, along with another Doe record, also featured on this blog. I keep seeing this sort of baby pink on a lot of punk cassettes. It just makes me wants a cake with pink icing. Hear Doe here https://soundcloud.com/doetheband
