Another great record by Half Foot Outside. "It's being a hot hot summer" is already on the same path as "New ad ideas", that is to be played again and again at our homes. Half Foot Outside are special for many different reasons; one of them, they're the first band in the label to record their fourth full-lenght record. It may not seem an important thing, but it is when you realize the tendency we have to consider our bands as "eternal debutants". Because of their not very big selling numbers, it seems like they're condemned to be seen as debutants; as if every new record was the beginning, and nothing further than truth. Four records are a career, an artistical progression completely consolidated. And more when the records ar as good as the Half Foot's ones. They started back in 1995 in pamplona, their debut being called "So called...", a punkrock record close to the most melodic and poppy sound. Their musical spectrum grew faster and was reflected in the roughness of "Paint red", a record full of complex and brilliant structures and melodies. But most of all, Half Foot Outside's musical capabilities is best shown on "New ad ideas",

a stonishing record full of energy behind every break,every riff, every melody.

Today, after Hans leavind the band to be a part of John Palmoore and being replaced by Brian Hunt (also guitarrist in Kids Go Free) that has included in the band's sound the influence by Hüsker Dü, Superchunk or Dinosaur JR., and Carlos departure from Standstill, the guys from pamplona are back with their most mature record, the most elaborated and bravest record they've ever made. A record inspired by a summer that many of us don't want to see finished.
