We posted about All Fall Down "My Brand New Wallpaper Coat" back in June 2024. They were a Flying Nun band who produced an EP back in 1987. Blair Parkes released a remastered version on Bandcamp last year (remastered by Rob Mayes of Failsafe Records).
I was not at all surprised to see Thomas Keitsch (Thokei Tapes) release a physical version of this remastering. However, as he is wont to do, this comes in an expanded format by including a live show from July 1987. The live show sounds outstanding. If you've bought from Thokei Tapes before, you know that the tape-run is always limited, and I've never actually seen a repress done.
When I listen to All Fall Down (Christchurch, New Zealand), I'm immediately reminded of The Bats, Able Tasmans, The Chills and any number of Flying Nun influenced bands.
