****************** BEN WEASEL SKATE REPORT *****************
|
||
|
|
******************************************* BY BEN WEASEL **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REPULSE KAVA - 7" (Butt Rag Records) Appropriate label, this
|
||
|
|
is a shitty sounding record from a shitty sounding band.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8th ROUTE ARMY - "Chernobyl Cookbook" LP (1 Dimensional
|
||
|
|
Records) Clockwork Orange fans take note - the singer calls
|
||
|
|
himself Johnny Zhivago. Unfortunately, that's the only thing
|
||
|
|
worth noting about this disc. Most of the lyrics don't make
|
||
|
|
sense, one of the few exceptions being "All Dead Radio," a
|
||
|
|
tirade against commercial rock stations which would be much
|
||
|
|
more effective if the band didn't sound like a cross between
|
||
|
|
Greg Kihn and The Knack.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WRECKING CREW - "Balance Of Terror" LP (Hawker) Christ,
|
||
|
|
this is horrible! It's pretty obvious that whoever puts out
|
||
|
|
these records is interested in "moving units: cause if good
|
||
|
|
music were a factor (as opposed to a tough-sounding name and
|
||
|
|
a marketable NY Mosh Crue attitude) shit like this would be
|
||
|
|
back in some bald kid's parents' garage where it belongs.
|
||
|
|
Metal mosh-o-rama with constipated Randy "Macho Man" Savage
|
||
|
|
vocals.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CRUCIAL YOUTH "The Posi Machine" (New Red Archives) The only
|
||
|
|
straight edge band in the world. Ray 2Day is a festering sore
|
||
|
|
on a meat-eating junkie bum's rotting pwnis compared to
|
||
|
|
these straight & clean boys. Not content with pushing the
|
||
|
|
obvious straight edge themes, Crucial Youth confronts the
|
||
|
|
scene with commentary on issues such as proper dental hygiene
|
||
|
|
and healthy eating habits, as well as stern warnings about
|
||
|
|
the dangers of jay walking and masturbation. Hopefully, some
|
||
|
|
of those other so-called "positive" bands will listen to this
|
||
|
|
record and mend their ways.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NO FOR AN ANSWER "A Thought Crusade" LP (Hawker) For kids
|
||
|
|
who didn't make the school football team. Every song sounds
|
||
|
|
like a Kermit/Fozzie Bear hybrid. Utterly ridiculous. What
|
||
|
|
these guys need is some good dope.

GORILLA BISCUITS/SICK OF IT ALL/RAW DEAL/LAUGHING HYENAS/
|
||
|
|
SCREECHING WEASEL/SPONGE TUNNEL - U. of Conn at Storrs,
|
||
|
|
12-10-88
|
||
|
|
Never having seen a real live New York Straight Edge
|
||
|
|
band before, I was tickled pink at the thought of sharing a
|
||
|
|
bill with a couple of "the scene's" up and coming s.e.
|
||
|
|
outfits. Spongetunnel and the Weasels played first and
|
||
|
|
nobody gave a fuck. Laughing Hyenas put on a killer show,
|
||
|
|
they were tight as hell and the singer (ex-Negative Approach)
|
||
|
|
was screaming so loud that the p.a. exploded and sent 500
|
||
|
|
pounds of shredded sound equipment hurtling through the hall
|
||
|
|
at the speed of light, disemboweling and castrating the 200+
|
||
|
|
crowd of crewcutted pipsqueaks. Actually, what really
|
||
|
|
happened was about 20 people got into the band and the rest
|
||
|
|
of the kiddies stood around and admired each others
|
||
|
|
sweatshirts. Raw Deal from Boston came on and played fast
|
||
|
|
music with slow mosh parts which the crowd adored. Sick Of It
|
||
|
|
All were introduced by some gangbanger type and then their
|
||
|
|
NBA coach singer came up and ordered the crowd to "get the
|
||
|
|
fuck up here and mosh - NOW! We came all the way from New
|
||
|
|
York!" (A grueling 2 hour ride in my estimation...we were
|
||
|
|
there on tour from Chicago.) Needless to say, the crowd did
|
||
|
|
what they were told and the band sucked mud. But we still
|
||
|
|
walked away with a nice chunk of the nitwits' money. Oh, and
|
||
|
|
Gorilla Biscuits never showed up, they couldn't find their
|
||
|
|
drummer. Howzat for unity?
