Casualties-We Are All We Have

"We Are All We Have" saw the Casual Ties experimenting with reggae and ska to mixed results. Jorge's voice just murders it if you ask me. The rest is a mixed bag, as is the band. Lyrics still suck, but the band is as tight as ever, with crisp, clean and clear production. I like it, but at the same time, I think I'm only posting it boost traffic. Every time I post a more "mainstream" band, it gets downloaded a lot, even if it readily available on every other punk blog. Fuck it though, it works on two levels. I get to increase flow and that in turns increases downloads on some of the more obscure shit here, cause some actually check out the rest of the site. It's my crude business plan...Even though I make zero money from this endeavor anyways. Fuck it. I still need to make up for lost time. I'm on a posting spree!

Tunnel Rats-Our War Is Never Over

I got this on Soulseek a long time ago. Loud, obnoxious, offensive punk rock stuck in a GG Allin state of mind. Juvenile delinquents, murderers and rapists rejoice! Here's 26 anthems to fuel any lewd or illegal act that you can think of. I'm not too familiar with the band's history or anything about them really, other than they're from New Hampshire and kick ass. Their Myspace has a detailed history on it, but I don't want to take the time to read it...Fuck off and enjoy!

The Alligators-You Ruined Everything

As much as I love Agnostic Front, this is Roger's better band at the moment. If only Agnostic Front would speed back up, stop trying to sound like Hatebreed and stop sucking. I don't see that happening, so fuck it. The Alligators rule. It's a nice throwback to "Victim In Pain" type stuff. Enjoy!

The Pist-Input Equals Output

The Pist fucking kick so much ass that it's difficult to explain how much they do in fact kick ass. They're one of those bands with lyrics that make you think and are actually good. Musically, this is your standard punk or street punk, but it's more a thinking man's kinda band in that you're taken aback by the intelligence behind some of these words. It's not like Al picked up a dictionary and was like "that's a cool word that will rhyme", it's more like "here's a word that actually makes sense in the context of the song...that rhymes". Fucking awesome band. I only wish I didn't discover them so late. Enjoy!

U.S. Chaos-Complete Chaos-Anthology

If there ever was a punk band for the true conservative, N.R.A. supporting gun lovers, U.S. Chaos would be that band. They're pretty far to the right when it comes to the majority of the bands I listen to, but the fact is that they're still a damn good Oi! band and one of the first from the great states of the U.S.A. I know there is gonna be some dumb motherfucker posting in the comments because they do cover Skrewdriver...Although it was a song written and recorded before Ian re-tooled the band as the poster child for Hitler's spiritual resurrection.

Is U.S. Chaos patriotic? Yes (it seems), but it's hard to pin-point their true views when so many bands have played the same card, but sarcastically...I'm pretty sure it's a satire of sorts. It is over the top, but the tone doesn't lead you to think that they're anything but serious. I can't really decipher it, so fuck it. Some sources say it's sarcastic, others say no, so I really don't know. Is U.S. Chaos racist? Probably not, but in any P.C. punks mind, being the least bit patriotic qualifies you as card carrying member of the far right. I really don't give a fuck though, so you can suck my dick. Lars & the Bastards kinda covered Skrewdriver to...That motherfucker admitted in an interview that he has a few of their records in his vast collection, and also openly admitted to spinning them. Sure, you won't see Stza or Fat Mike with a Warfare 88 shirt, but come on already, it's 2010 and I believe in a thing called progress...One day Neo-Nazis will be joyfully holding hands with hippies and blacks, skipping lovingly through a field and picking flowers while the homosexual president announces that there is finally world peace. It's only a matter of time. I am in an absurd mood. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

No Use For A Name-¡Leche con Carne!

This is an unusual album for this blog and an unusual album for me to like. No Use For A Name and I go way back...Back to the early days of punk for myself. An interesting story I will relay to those who take the time to read this shit.

A long time ago my sister played soccer. On my sister's team, Matt Riddle's (formerly of Face To Face, currently in NUFAN) stepson played alongside her. I was a fat, Star Wars nerd with a skateboard, attempting to learn on the rock covered asphalt of Baldy Mesa Elementary school. Well, my father introduced me to Matt, because he knew we had a mutual love for video games. I peeped his Link tattoo on this calf and knew I had a buddy. Then I found out he played bass for NUFAN (not on the album I'm posting). I only knew them from a Warped Tour Comp I picked up from Hot Topic prior to the meeting. We got to talking and found out he shared a passion for Star Wars (and Lord Of The Rings...ewww). He asked me if I liked punk. I said "yeah, I like Blink 182"...That wasn't really punk, but I was a fat, Star Wars nerd, so it was to me. He pointed me in the direction of The Ramones and is directly responsible for my "transformation". I was so naive at the time, I asked why Ignite had a save the whales thing on one of their albums. He could of just written me off right then and there, but he kept "mentoring" me. He's a nerd and I was (am), so we got along pretty good, discussing everything from bands I should listen to, all the way to references to Star Wars in Kevin Smith films. He gave me "Live In A Dive" and "More Betterness" by NUFAN and a signed comic book that accompanied NUFAN's "Live In A Dive". At the time I didn't understand punk bands' goals were not to get huge and be played on MTV, so I always wished him luck with making it big haha. He was a pretty cool guy.

Then years later, I ran into him at Stater Bros. in Phelan, Ca. and you could see him laughing on the inside cause I looked like a circus freak with my studded leather, liberty spikes, patches, etc. All I could really say to him was "thanks"...So, thanks Matt. Thanks for sending me on this self destructive path of punk, metal and alcohol...You fucking rock and you still owe me a round of Halo!

Matt doesn't play on this record, but it's still my favorite one. Basic 90s pop-punk, but more punk than pop that it's just punk. I like it. Enjoy!

No-Cash-Run Your Pockets

I've been seriously lagging in any posts for the last few months, mainly due to the lack of a computer at my apartment and that I work way too fucking much. Well, I have an opportunity to post something, so I will.

And it's nothing remotely rare or difficult to find in any sense. In fact, you probably already have it. It's No Cash's only full length, "Run Your Pockets". So steeped in Stza worship it is, that I confused them with No Commercial Value for the longest time. It sounds that much like L.O.C. and Choking Victim. Of course it's not, but I can see where the confusion would come in. They're actually a band of unique members with no legitimate connection to the O.G.'s in New York besides being a complete fucking musical and lyrical ripoff. And that is a good thing to be.

This is your standard crack rock, which isn't standard by stretch of the term. It's a musical clusterfuck, that at times has difficulty defining itself in the chaos...But that's where the beauty lies. It's fucking awesome shit. That's all there is to it. If you don't like punkskahiphopmetalcrustetccore, then you won't like this. I've been listening to too much similar shit lately. Check out The Dumpers and My Own Religion to see this enticing "new" subgenre that has sprung up from the blueprint drawn by Stza and the rest of the crack rock steady crew. Enjoy!
