Naming a record Piss And Shit I expected it to be just about that and nothing else. A bit disappointed there but Constipated makes up for it with lines like: “The turd in me has a mind of it’s own. It calls my colon “it’s new home”.” followed by some screams that I think illustrates quiet well how it may sound for some of us while we try to squeeze ‘em out. Armed with drum machine they sing joy to the software known as Beatcraft in Beatcraft Rulez:”I don’t need no fucking drummer. Burn the kits, drum sticks too. Click away from better then you.” great. The songs are a bit too long. Cut ‘em in half if you ask me. Kind of a fun record much thanks to the digital drums. One of the two guys in The Runs are a regular visitor here and his name is Mat. When the package of 5 records arrived they smelled like they’ve lived in a smoking environment for 20 years. Really, I felt the urge to start smoking again(nowadays it’s just snus). Fave song: Beatcraft Rulez.

hey you stole my post! :D http://hardcorepunkreviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/runs-piss-and-shit-7.html
haha, ya my package did smell a lot like smoke too.
thanks Mat!
i don’t smell the smoke.. :P
then again, i steal all of your posts.
so did i zach right after hearing this. http://www.elliott-wwwelliottsucksblogspotcom.blogspot.com sorry. but i had too. i like it.
that’s alright. :D
“Nowadays it’s just snus?” Peter, I think you made a typo on the last word, hitting the ’s’ instead of the ‘a’ on the first letter.
Pleasantly moronic stuff from Canadian potsmokers!
Is there a lot of snew there???
Ha ha Levi :). Yeah of course it shall be an A instead on an S. Thanks for exposing me and the world to my typo.
thx man, i like the post. yeah i wish i had left my job sucks out of that recording tho.. worst one there. i it’s just the the original didn’t sound anything even close to the rest..
it was still a drum machine but i record my own samples. the bass drum was my bed matress and the snare was my couch. the high hat was forks, butter knives and spoons and the crash was the cage around my fan. sounded awesome to me! but yeah wouldn’t have fit too good on the EP..
but yeah i hate recording things twice.. the first time it’s great, i get all primed! the second time it’s a chore.. kind of reflect on the quality on the recording.
check it out

(LINK’S JUST GOOD FOR 7 DAYS.. go to my website afterwards..)
I eat lots of raw fruit and vegetables and drink tons of water. I don’t ever really get constipated. You should stay away from bread, potatoes and pasta, too as they are quite binding.
to be honest i rarely get constipated too.. but i sure as hell shit big!
Less food=smaller shits
Smaller shits=smaller tits.
lota food=big shit n tits (i got no tits tho..)
Hot shits=hot clits
hey ever see this b4 hahaha. wata bunch of fuckers lmao. i got review three times.
RUNS, THE:
Piss & Shit: CDR
If the Spits were totally retarded, blind, and deaf they might sound like the Runs. I know, how can you make fun of tards? It’s easy for me. But it’s hard to rip a band that includes their own biographies and I can tell you, the reader, it’s an even more daunting task to berate a self-proclaimed “experienced punk rocker” or “punk rock juggernaut from nowhere.” Do punk rock juggernaut’s use drum machines? I’ll lend one more kind word and then end this nonsensical diatribe. I like the cartoons of people pissin’ and shittin’. Potty humor, the highest common denominator. –Dave Disorder (Puking Baby, matliiolec@hotmail.com)
RUNS, THE:
Piss and Shit: EP
This is the 7” you roll your eyes at in the record store, the one that’s got four price stickers in the upper right hand corner from the price slowly but surely decreasing. The artwork is bad and the lyrics are bad. I’m not against silly drawings of people shitting and puking, I’m not against repetitive “fuck you”s. I am against a band that has nothing to offer but stale clichés and maybe setting the bar a tad bit lower. –Rene Navarro (Criminal I.Q.)
RUNS, THE:
Piss and Shit: CD
Two dudes with guitars, a drum machine, and a book of punk rock clichés. It’s like if Japanther combined with that local punk band of twelve-year-olds who sang about anarchy and were being totally serious about all of it. –Bryan Static (Criminal IQ)
ohh yeah and all on razorcake by the way :P
hahaha what a bunch of fuckers. the music rocks. isn’t it just one dude? i don’t care. one of the best records of 2009 maybe after the new rf7 album. great stuff mat and any song called i hate my job is a winner.
