South Dutch early '80s punk/hc heroes Waste released their classic 'History Repeats' EP in December 1982. Exactly 40 years later the original members returned to the studio to deliver the truly devastating 'The Next Century Is Almost Over' EP. This 7-inch record contains four jaw dropping tracks featuring the incredibly tight rhythm section of bassist Still Klaus and drummer Fred Flintstone, the brutal punk voice of Bompa RR and the totally damaging fuzz guitar and songwriting skills of Hans F. Ford, who of course is also known from his outstanding current fuzz-punk duo Ford's Fuzz Inferno. (In fact, the EP includes a scorching cover of the FFI-song 'Ups And Downs'.) There's no doubt that this latest addition to the Waste discography offers contemporary old school punk rock/early hardcore at its blistering best. So all you young punks out there, pay attention: this is how it's done! (Limited edition of 375 copies.) SIDE 1: 1. Everything Is Grey 2. Bugging You SIDE 2: 1. Ups And Downs 2. Ex-Neutral Zone
