his EP from Anglo-Australian punks The Terraces may only be a stop-gap release…but quality is the watchword here. ‘Extra Time’ should in no way be considered [a] for existing fans only, or [b] purely disposable. It’s three previously unreleased tunes are as strong as anything found on their full length LP, while the extra material – a couple of re-recordings and a well chosen cover – show a band who’ve improved in the relatively short space of time since that previous release.
