This is the second release in the Idol Records split EP series. Detroit's Hoarse (members of The Fags) and Columbus, Ohio's Watershed each bring to the table a new previously unreleased song and then do a cover of one of the other band's songs.

Hoarse hails from a land where it's OK to break your snare skin every other song, where angst and aggression share a beverage, and where the occassional paean to a failed relationship doesn't mean you're a spineless AM troubadour - it means you're not afraid to be honest. Hoarse crunches when things need to be crunched and they let fly with hooks that are both haunting and inescapable.

Watershed, fueled by a healthy work ethic (playing over 200 shows and covering over 80,000 miles before landing an agent) with live performances heralded by critics as "energy-packed", "power-driven", "high-octane", "hook-laden" and a handful of other hyphenated words that don't come close to capturing a show's impact. But nowhere is this better defined than in their songs - skillfully crafted, vigorous rock with lyrics personal in scope, but timeless in range.
