Bill Bondsmen-Nineteen/Things Fall Apart 7 inch-review

First off I love this band had the pleasure of seeing them once in St. Paul.  IN DEFENCE opened up for them and it was awesome.  So when I got this you can’t imagine how excited I was.  So this record has 2 songs 1 on each side, so kind of a sweet throwback to 45’s large hole included. When I first got the record I noticed that it has a screenprinted cover which is awesome plus it’s on a dark purple wax.  So with this release there are 2 bad ass tunes first is “Nineteen”.  A really good distorted vocals with blistering guitar behind very low-fi recording sounds very DIY to me.  Like they recorded it in a basement or something.  Side B is called “Things Fall Apart” the shorter of the two tracks but still has the low-fi recording quality with gritty vocals.  Any punk rocker would like this f you like fast gritty fast punk rock plus when the B side stop it has a repeating groove which are always funny to have on a record.  I LOVE BILL BONDSMEN that is all.  (XbezerkerX)

Bill Bondsmen-Overcrowded Control/(Untitled)

Oh man another little gem from these guys.  A little more info on BILL BONDSMEN, they are from Detroit, Michigan and have been a band since 2002. Here is a rad new 7 inch again an awesome record with a screen printed cover and painted with water colors it look/feels like.  Again 2 songs one on each side with a large hole in the middle only this time I didn’t get a colored vinyl :(  But nonetheless still really like this album.  Sounds like these were recorded at the same time very lo-fi vocals, gritty and very raw with plastering guitar coming at you. “Overcrowded Control” has a nice up and down bass in it reminds me of a circus jam or something.  B-side is “Untitled”  and it must be for a reason, vocals come in about a minute and a half into the song and is very heavy compared to the A-side, this could have easily been the A-side of the record. Again go get this record if your into gritty punk that sounds like it was recorded in a basement (XbezerkerX)

Strong Intention-Razorblade Express 7 inch review

The first thing that caught my eye was the name MIKE IX WILLIAMS for being a fan of EYEHATEGOD. I was super excited to get home and listen to it right away.  As the title track  “Razorblade Express” starts off with really heavy guitars and then goes super fast into a fast as hell blast beat then slows back down then goes right back into it.  Super intense beginning plus this track had the guest vocals on it.  Next is “Messiah Whore” same thing super fast and super brutal track with crushing vocals all over that. Side A ends with “Holes in the Wall” and just like the last two tracks this sums up and amazing A side to the record.  I flip this bad boy over and am pounded with another track with MIKE IX on it called “3^rd Space Gorilla Generator” again a sweet track which is a little slowed down from the rest of the tracks, really heavy and doom sounding to start off this side then all of a sudden goes far left and let the grind begin. “Rat Factory” is next more of the grind with super fast and well put together guitar. Lastly there is “Slaughter Intelligence” which is the shortest track on the whole record, but it does not disappoint  at all. For Fans of PHOBIA, EYEHATEGOD and EXHUMED.  (XbezerkerX)
