In his YouTube liner notes, stev1963hit writes, “Three of my most favourite tunes discovered in ’09 have been by California’s shouty punk strummers,The Injections … a band Steve Malkmus almost certainly heard in his youth i reckon! ‘Cold Eyes’ ( also released in 1980 ) is its polar opposite,whilst ‘No Passion’ is straight ahead ‘I Hate Your Guts’ smoking English Punk Rock from the ‘Aylesbury Goes Flaccid’ compilation 1978.”
