Human Mess from Bakersfield, CA
These punks blast out 5 tracks here on their debut ep entitled, "Uncaged
Animal." That's exactly what this record is, lashing out with raw, pure,
violent mayhem! To get close to what this sounds like, you could take
early Poison Idea, and mix it with GERMS, and you wont be too far away.

So this was it, the long
awaited first show of the Pantyhose! Too bad you didn't go to this show,

Anti-You from Rome, Italy
12 songs in under 10 minutes here, all killer, no filler. From Italy,
these guys take cues from early US and Italian HC and ends up merging
the 2 in a whirlwind of Sonic Fury. If you enjoyed the "Pig City Life"
One sided ep, You'll definitely shit a brick over this one.

Civic Progress from St. Louis, MO
Killer hardcore that is full of negative energy and frustration.7 Songs
on this steamroller, and not one of them is a dud. "Petroleum Man" is
raw, aggressive, and just plain mean. First 250 get limited RED cover,
as opposed to the more available Black and Metallic Silver one shown

Harpoon Guns and Loser Life - at Linden Haus - Long beach, CA - February
8, 2008
Linden Haus always gets wild.
Its a great place if you like being crammed into a telephone booth. You
see, a telephone booth was an outdoor glass booth that was popular in
the united states before the advent of the cell phone. You would deposit
coins into the telephone and be charged money for the call on the spot.
Not a bill.

I saw
Cat Party for the first time a week ago at an in store record
release show at Vinyl Solution in Huntington Beach. I really enjoyed
them live, so I figured that I would pick up a copy of their new release
for $3 (out Rich Bitch Records). Both the A and B sides are equally amazing.
Catchy mid tempo songs without being predictable, flimsy or corny. These
songs are well written, solid musical gems, and are also lyrically
superior!

Benefit show for Chickenhead of DI
with T.S.O.L. - Agent Orange - Manic Hispanic - DI - Shattered Faith -Franki Doll - Uprising - Drain Bramage - Narcoleptic Youth - Noise Attack
at The Galaxy - Santa Ana, CA - February 21, 2008
(We thought it would be better that you hear from Chickenhead himself
on the show)
"Literally trying to keep my composure. If you went to the show Thurs, you heard about the ticket sales. After paying for use of the Galaxy, (by the way, Gary...I'll be calling you, wow. Thanks.) A check was handed to me in the amount of $19,500.00
Now, with the raffle ticket sales, The Paypal donations, and the T-Shirts...
$28,000.00 !!!!!! There are some expenses that come out. But it doesn't add up to much beings everyone gave their time and services so generously.
A few people advised I didn't say how much was raised, but you know what, its all your money, you gave it to me, you have more of a right to know than even
I do. God bless you all, I mean it. No matter what or who you believe in, there is a special place somewhere for you, in this life, and places after. I am going to keep you all posted on where the money goes, for what procedure, and how much it cost. Wow, I will never forget this, and I am going to carry on with my life accordingly. The Charity I am setting up is going to be one that actually seeks out people to help, not one that waits to be found.
I did have chemo yesterday, every third week I have to get a double dose, then I'm sent home with a pump on a little shoulder pack that continues to administer chemo over the next four days. So this is when
I get really sick. I might not be on for a day or two, but I wanted you to know what you did, and what you are capable of. Faith in humanity is a good thing, it feels good and makes us hopeful, when you are truly hopeful,
that's when great help can be achieved, and real change can be
made." Signed, chckn

Adicts - The Diffs - All Out Attack - at The Showcase Theater -
Corona, CA - January 20, 2008
Monkey of The Adicts announced
that this looked like this would be the last time ever that The Adicts
would play The Showcase. There is talk about the building owners not
renewing the lease with The Showcase, this is a bummer. The Showcase
has been a real staple in the music scene and is will be sad to see
the party end there.

Jonny
Mank & The Depresives -Rebound Town CD
As we listened through this album it seemed to hold the same attitude
as if we had thrown on a Gears record. Full on Punk rock and roll that
is fast and loose. Jonny Mank who has a very impressive resume in
music seems to have really reinvented himself with this band.
This San Jose, CA band have hit on a winning sound that really stood
out. Good times written all over this one.

Back in town is The Adicts for
3 back to back shows. This show gave us a chance to also get an
updated listen to with a couple bands we had been watching for a few
years now, The Spooky and Noise Attack. Both bands have really come
into their own and are kicking some major ass right now.

Broken
Bottles -Hospital CD Hell it was 5 years ago that we
first saw this band play, we were blown away then and are still just
as stoked on the band. Their latest CD titled "Hospital" delivers
the goods. The Bottles keep coming up with cleaver song themes.
Backing music that is very reminiscent of early Orange County punk
rock laid on a bed of harmonizing that is contagious. Look for them on
tour in Japan and Germany.

bands we did on this show.

Since September of 2006 Mike

NU-TRA
- at Safari Sam's - Hollywood, CA - December 18, 2007
Nu-Tra
(which stands for New Traditionalist) is a band that we have been
following for a few years now. For those that are fans of DEVO you
will certainly dig this band. They do not play that often in LA so
when they are playing you need to show up.

The music
of Critical Picnic is raw and low-fi and the lyrics are ridiculous, but this
E.P. is a
lot of fun with song titles like "Beat Women", "Fetus
Dinner", "Handicapped Holocaust", "Disgruntled
Pedophile" and "Bob Saget was a war hero". This is one
of those albums that will make you hate the people that don't like it
because you know they are taking life way too seriously. |

Government
Warning "Arrested"
picks up right where 2006's NO MODERATION left off, blazing through
four new tracks of their brand of unadulterated hardcore punk rock
(think GANG GREEN, RKL, and ADOLESCENTS thrown in a blender)... one
catchy as hell title track followed by three more fast and ferocious
cuts guaranteed to leave you floored. This EP has it all; hooks,
speed, attitude, piss, vinegar ... definitely will not
disappoint." |

Gotta love the
Harpoon Guns. This is their latest release on Square Wave Records.
Tracks include "Cannibal Eyes" "Dried Out" "Coma" and "Brain Freeze".
If you were lucky enough to get one of the record release copies then
you will know the joy of the hand crafted cover (even though the glue
has failed) Pick a copy up somewhere. Or Die. Or just die anyway. |
