Good morning. Presenting PAWS IN THE BACON GREASE, the first of two new EPs IfIHadAHiFi is releasing over the next month.

Sort of an EP about how people's brains seem to have toxoplasmosis these days.

It's Bandcamp Friday, don'tcha know.

If you are a fan of noise rock of the brainiac persuasion, or a noise rock fan at all i will insist you listen to IfIHadAHifi, the best to do it over the past 2.5 decades and the nicest fellows. Their new ep is excellent
