What they say:

“When GIANT HAYSTACKS parted ways a few years back, two of the three members went on to form AIRFIX KITS. The three songs found on this debut 7” are pretty consistent with the aforementioned band with a heavy MINUTEMEN influence by way of UK post punk ala WIRE/GANG OF FOUR.” – Deranged

“1 of 2 new 7″ EPs by this new San Francisco band that features 2/3 of the recently-deceased Giant Haystacks. We played with them in SF this summer so I’ve been anticipating this for a while… while the Haystacks played up the Minutemen influence, the Airfix Kits just play straight-up, catchy, old-school punk… the kind of thing that could have come out on Good Vibrations, Raw, or a similar label in late-70s Britain. This is a great EP that will have all of us old punk connoisseurs bobbing along endlessly.” – Sorry State

Recorded Dec 2008 by Craigums, Dutch Oven, Alameda CA.

What they say:

“Tense working class post-punk from San Francisco. Debut release from 2/3rds ex Giant Haystacks. As much as we liked that band, this new incarnation is even better, hookier and more direct. Minutemen meets Wire with a distinct DIY sensibility. Or, as the band describes themselves, “Gang Of Four getting rat-arsed on cider and covering the entire Strength Through Oi! comp.” That’ll work too.” – Dirtnap

“From Oakland, Airfix Kits pulls from late ’70s punk bands like the Adverts and Richard Hell to deliver modern bubblegum-tinged punk anthems. This song will certainly resonate with anyone who’s had a heart broken by a two-timer.” – Portland Mercury
