Composition is a ten-song split CD on Dug Records by Last Tuesday and Curbsquirrels. The CD features five songs from each band.
Last Tuesday sounds like Less Than Jake without horns. The music is fairly basic and the lyrics are fairly meaningless. The one exception is "Social Butterfly," which is about a girl who regrets having a one-night stand.
Vocally, Curbsquirrels sounds a bit like Craig's Brother. Musically, it is a step above Last Tuesday with interesting guitar progression and solid lead work. The lyrics are full of Christian references. One amusing spiritual reference is "ugly with godly doesn't exist." Another funny line is "imaginary friends are even leaving her."
In general, Composition is a mediocre punk rock record. The only prospective fans for Last Tuesday and Curbsquirrels are high school kids.

Other coverage for this album
Decapolis May 2003Reviewed by Luke HarlowDug Records is a relatively new label run by former members of Petra and Less than Jake (there is a combination!) as well as a couple of other individuals with "music industry" experience. Last Tuesday hails from Central Pennsylvania and the Curbsquirrels are from the Cincinnati area. This is each band's first release on a label. This split will most likely appeal to fans of popular mall punk…Similar sounding releases
