NOFX-The P.M.R.C. Can Suck On This

A NOFX record for a dollar what the hell why not.  I first heard these guys back in 2002-2003 and was hooked but as a grew older I kinda stopped listening to these guys.  I also seen these guys like 4 years ago just because I wanted to see the 2 opening bands which were locals Off With Their Heads and a band I loved when I was growing up No Use For A Name. I can say that all three bands did not disappoint.  But enough on the show lets talk about this record.  I already assume that this is not original pressing that this record has probably been pressed a whole bunch of times.  But I don't care I paid a dollar for a NOFX record and you didn't.. So with a total of 6 songs 3 on each side.  Starting off with acoustic with "Dueling Retards" and goes into singing about a period with "On The Rag" finishing out the A-side with "A200 Club" with Fat Mike singing about having crabs what gets better then that? So to start on the B-side is a song titled "Shut Up Already" with a NOFX type intro the best line in the song is Meat is Murder.  Other then that I can see why this is on the B-side next is "The Punk Song" a song under a minute that is very fast paced with Fat Mike singing to fast for himself.  Finally the last track "Johnny B. Goode" is basically the song "Johnny B. Bad" except with different lyrics and NOFX putting a funny spin on it.  All in all a NOFX record for a dollar SCORE!

Magrudergrind/A Warm Gun

Really?  I'm really glad I found this I have never listened to Magrudergrind before but everyone is talking about how good these guys are.  I've even heard how could a band be bad with the "grind" in the name.  So of course I listened to there side first. It's some really fast grind/power violence going on here. With a total of 5 tracks lasting almost 7 minutes of straight up in your face blast beats.  It's not bad I know these guys have and are getting more popular and since this record was put out in 2005 I really hope they've progressed as a band and there sound.  I'm not saying it's horrible but I hope this isn't there best.  So now onto the B-side "A Warm Gun" I have never heard of these guys before and not surprised that I haven't there not totally bad but there is really nothing that sticks out as there unique just sounds like a faster paced hardcore with screams and yells.  With a total of 3 tracks only spawning about 4 minutes it's a lack luster attempt to keep up with grinders Magrudergrind.  Looking this up I found out that this is the second press of this record with an alternative cover then the first pressing.

Infected-Awake In Our Own Graves

Well well well look at what I found in the dollar bin what a surprise since right before I found this I booked these guys for a show in Minneapolis.  So before I really ever heard these guys I booked them and then a couple days later this is what I find in the dollar bin. So I was stoked to find this and I was not at all disappointed the first thing I need was text Nate the singer and was like dude guess what I found and the first thing he asked was if it was going to be in my blog and here it is.  So how many good things can I say about this if you like bands like The Manix, Banner Pilot, Off With Their Heads, The Slow Death and kinda bands like that you will fall in love with these guys like I did.  I don't really know how to explain the genre of music this falls into so i'll give it a shot it's pop punk with deep vocals of I'm assuming true stories that he's singing about. Whatever you want to call it, it's amazing so stoked to see these guys in like 3 weeks.  I also know there working on a new split with Dun Bin Had from Santa Cruz, California so stay tuned for that because I am.  This concludes this review, GO BUY THIS RECORD!

p.s. every vinyl is on colored wax!

Spazm 151-Power Songs for the Kidz

Well never heard of this band before so why not buy it right? Plus it's on a local record label Havoc Records. With an added bonus it's on red vinyl. So A total of 6 songs 3 on each side.  Side A starts off very fast in your face punk catchy as hell tunes.  I must say the best track in my opinion is called "Goin Nowhere" but after that is "Keep in Touch" which picks up as fast as the other track ends the first track is instrumental and if you know me i'm not a fan of that.  So now on to the B-side, It's starts off with a fast guitar riff and aloud ass scream/yell and goes into some awesome lyrics and choruses.  "Junkie Frenz" is the first track on the B-side and is very good.  Then it goes straight into "Don't Fight" a very fast paced song that isn't as good as the other 3 songs but still decent into the whole mix of the record and lastly "Power Songs for the Kidz" is the last track of the record starting off with some movie quote about Texas which is where these guys are from. All in all it was worth a dollar.

El Punkeke-La Flor Destroy

Straight up punk rock and roll through and through.  So I remember seeing this band back in the day probably 2005 or 2006 I went to see this band called In Defence open for these guys at the Triple Rock Social Club.  So basically all the songs are in spanish so I can't really understand the words but it has some very cool punk rock to ska breakdowns.  I don't know a lot about this band and if you look them up on Discos there only on there for there track on a triple lp twin cities comp.  But all these tracks are fast paced trax that will make you wanna pogo all over the place. There's really not much more I can say about it black vinyl I found it on. Plus the picture on the back is of this gross looking punk girl missing her front tooth holding a 40oz.
