Future Shock is an EP by New Zealand band The Gordons, released in 1980.[1][3][4] In contrast to much of the independent New Zealand rock of the time, the sound of the EP was more noisy and distorted.[5]
The EP was reissued by Flying Nun Records.[6]
Critical reception
[edit]Trouser Press wrote that it "matched progressive punk songwriting and aggression with an uncategorizably deliberate yet extreme wall of flailing sheetmetal guitar."[3]
