I came across the first single since the Swingin' Utters got back together a while back and decided to get but hadn't really been able to listen to it until now.  "The Librarians Are Hiding Something" is a driving bit of punk rawk with semi love song lyrics that makes allusions to domestic surveillance and literature within its short sharp distorted guitar hooks.  "Rude Little Rooms" (a non-album B side, to the best of my knowledge anyway) was the last song recorded with Spike Slawson in the band.  Both songs are more mid tempo than their earlier work in sme ways but there's a steady drive throughout these songs as the overdriven guitar and rock solid beats keep pushing the songs forward throughout.  It's been a while since Swingin' Utters released songs but they did manage to pique curiosity with these two songs.  (BOONE)
