Strong, professionally played melodic punk songs, but the abrupt artist switch makes this feel like two short band samplers rather than a shaped EP.

What we noticed

  • The first three tracks are Millencolin songs; after “Buzzer,” the final three switch to Midtown, changing the lead voice and band sound halfway through.
  • The Millencolin side opens with “No Cigar” and “Blackeye,” then closes on “Buzzer”; the Midtown tracks occupy one uninterrupted block at the end.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
