Creative Adult – Bulls In the Yard 7″ Full Stream at Impose Magazine

Impose Magazine is currently streaming the forthcoming Creative Adult 7″, “Bulls In the Yard.” Click the cover art above to stream the record, and check out a snippet of what they had to say below.

When was the last time the North Bay got its due? What’s even up there, some might ask? Creative Adult’s EP proves some seriously proficient and noisey post-hardcore is coming back around. San Francisco has its psych rock scene. Oakland is either miming San Francisco’s pysch, but grittier or out to be obnoxiously weird. It seems one has to explore the outskirts to get something with a hint of confrontation. It’s been ages since a heavy noise wasn’t attached to “dream” in the Bay Area, only to find a home on Slumberland. Creative Adult could be kinda pretty if it weren’t for those aching, gruff vocals. And they are better for it, giving them the freedom to follow up “Bulls In The Yard” with the Fugazi-like “Consumes Itself”. Anyone who’s listened to “Rushing Toward The Cemetary” made the same conclusive gesture towards the Sonic Youth classic, but Creative Adult have the benefit of not being as blasé as Thurston about it. Look past the comparisons and Creative Adult have a sincere anthem in their clutches.
