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.

I’m not a fan or garage punk. Let’s just make that clear. Most of the bands lumped into that genre sounds the same to me. Boring distorted rock with boring distorted vocals. However I always liked Niels ex-Gepopel(yes one the best European HC bands ever) band Sack O Woes a lot. Here they do step on the garage punk pedal a bit too much for my taste most of the time. I think a band like this is more of a 7inch project. To prove it to you here’s a post I did a long time ago for the “Baby, I’m born old”, also take note that I slag garage punk here too:

However the packaging here is wonderfully done with one side screen printed and the other side full of sound. 350 copies made and two stand out tracks that I’ve posted here, the title track and the cream of the crop: Shelf Life who alone makes this disc worth buying.

Fucking fags why didn’t you include a lyric sheet? Apart from that we have some tight and technical skate punk. Think Propaghandi crossed with early Mahavishnu Orchestra. At a Fag gig: A bunch of metal dorks are standing in the back of the show admiring their technical abilities. The older punks are screaming in front:”Exploited did this better then you.”. In comes Animal from Anti Nowhere League taking a dump on the corps of GG Allin lying in front of the vocal monitor. Couple of minutes into the set Ian Stuart from Skrewdriver gives his old mate Steve Ignorant a spiritual call from the other side to tell him to check out the gig. Steve takes his private jet and arrives just in time to Attitude. What he sees makes him proclaim that anarchy has started at this very show and will now be spread all over the world. Thanks for that Fags!
