The songs stretch far and wide, from Johnny Cash to Sonny Bono to Robyn Hitchcock, and all with that typical Firewater flair, the booze-soaked, horn-spiked, Eastern Europe-gutter trawling sound conjures up the image of drunken Mariachis in Kosovo.
With all the testosterone of Motörhead, Fat Ass explores that road between muscle car metal and thrash. Sleazy Stooge romps like “Rub One Out” and “Lonesome” cohabitate with the humor of Suicidal Tendencies.
Japan’s Envy have etched out a multitude of musical creations over many years, pushing forward an interesting collection of sounds, styles, and emotions, but it will be this, their fourth album, to generate the biggest buzz.
New Hampshire’s Deadwater Drowning doesn’t hold back on this five-song EP. It’s straight to business, and I like it. A technical death metal edge, hardcore drive, and grindcore intensity.
Easily one of the most violent live acts I’ve ever seen. And the music is equally as powerful. Bare as Bones is a collection of rarities from 7″s, compilations, demos, and EPs that’ve long been out of print.
