Killdozer - God Hears Pleas of the Innocent - 1995 {Out of Print}

Killdozer - God Hears Pleas of the Innocent - 1995
 Studio Recordings @ HQ vbr
{Out of Print}

Track List:
1. A Mother Has A Hard Road
2. Porky's Dad
3. pour Man
4. The Buzzard
5. Paul Doesn't Understand Jazz
6. Daddy's Boy
7. The Nobbies (A Sea Chanty)
8. Big Song Of Hell
9. Cannonball Run II '95
10. I Have Seen Grown Men Cry
11. Spork 

The album deals with topics ranging from how farmers are sick of urbanites moving to the country because there's no room for growing food ("Porky's Dad") to songs like "The Nobbies (A Sea Chanty)" where lead singer Michael Gerald gives his son the fatherly advice "always look a man in the eye and treat the dogs and ladies nice" before he departs on a sea cruise. It's a bizarre and noisy CD with touches of punk, classic rock, and country that leaves the listener with an experience similar to that of having an oozing sore -- painful in some spots, yet infectious in others. The painful part comes by way of numbers such as "Big Song of Hell," in which the sound is so grinding that at one point, you can actually feel the music scraping along your cerebrum. When the infection of a track like "The Buzzard" takes over your senses, though, you realize that there's more to this band than just the production values of Steve Albini. The song deals with life on the road as a trucker, and the trio conveys the feeling of the open road through citizens band radio vocal effects to tempo changes that make you feel as if an 18-wheeler has just been shifted into gear. At times, it's hard to believe that Oscar the Grouch isn't behind the microphone for as gruff as Gerald sounds. By the time the record is over, you're left a bit annoyed, but slightly energized as well. This feeling is not surprising coming from a band with a name like Killdozer, who display frolicking sheep on their album cover.

This band defies you to sit on the fence. You can't! Either you hate this band and their sludgy noisy music and their growling offtune frontman (97% of earth's population) or you think they are one of the most demonically expressive bands of the past quarter century (the remaining 3% OOHH! the 3% Nation of Noiselam!). Strange lyrics, hateful stuff. Good for the whole family? NO. But it's the family that I've always stood against... Yes it's the family that deserves to be tossed into the garbage bin of civilization.

The Pirates - Out Of Their Skulls + Bonus {Out of Print}

The Pirates - Out Of Their Skulls
 Studio and Live Soundboard Recordings @256
Plus 39 Bonus Tracks
{Out of Print}

The death of frontman Johnny Kidd derailed the Pirates back in 1966, but the band's contributions to British rock were not forgotten, and their influence on punk-era pub rock bands like Dr. Feelgood encouraged the remaining players to re-form for this blistering comeback album. Out of Their Skulls pairs a raucous live set with six studio cuts, and if the new tunes don't match up to tough classics like "Please Don't Touch" and "Shakin' All Over," the band's uncompromising strength overrides any weaknesses. Over a decade past their hitmaking prime, the Pirates embrace the aggression and energy of the era and deliver a blazing, no-nonsense set of signature songs and early rock classics with all the lusty abandon, joy, and defiance that defines great rock & roll. Bassist Johnny Spence debuts as lead vocalist, and his big, leathery bellow is occasionally cartoonish but appropriate nonetheless. Mick Green shows off the idiosyncratic lead/rhythm guitar style that made him so influential, pulling buzzing solos out of each chord without losing the riff. Tub man Frank Farley is locked in solid with Spence to produce a rhythm section that is simultaneously metronome tight and bar-fight loose. The studio recordings lack the live set's searing heat, but the sound is cleaner, allowing for a more nuanced appreciation of Green's ringing guitar work; as a result, some of the sillier numbers (like "Do the Dog" and "Gibson Martin Fender") are still useful. American rockers unfamiliar with this very British trio should do a little digging and get their hands on Out of Their Skulls, a truly vibrant album that proves that youth alone is not what fuels the rock & roll engine.
~AMG

Nearly two-and-a-half hours of madman rockin' music from the late Johnny Kidd's backing band, dating from their successful resurrection in 1976 at the behest to faithful disciple Wilko Johnson. Including all three reunion albums as well as several rare singles and previously unissued material, this is ear-opening stuff for the most part. A generation older than their punk contemporaries, legendary Mick Green and his men make most of that breed sound like pretenders. Listen to All In It Together and you hear a great single. Listen to Please Don't Touch or Something Very Strange and you hear where Dr Feelgood got their act. Though bassist Johnny Spence's vocals sometimes flirt with blackface this is largely ace stuff, perfect to accompany that sixth pint!

KMFDM - Angst (1992)

KMFDM - Angst (1992)

Released in 1992 and displayed a departing from the previous albums. The music is far more metal oriented on “Angst” than ever before and the guitars are given a lot of room to express themselves whereas the electronic part stand back. It is hard to know which guitarist is to be missed, Günter Schulz or Mark Durante but the guitars never were as enjoyable again. A song like “A Hole in the Wall” perfectly exemplifies the astonishing efficiency of the guitar work. At the first listen, it sounds horribly repetitive and pretty forgettable but the song actually hides so many variations, layers, unexpected ambient riffs and solos that it ends up being one of the most addictive songs KMFDM has to offer. It is even more impressive considering the simplicity of the riffs. From this point of view, “Sucks” is equally an impressive song. Thrown at the face of the listener like a self-complacent joke, it reveals itself slowly as a very solid track. Noticeably, the over-repeated and over-simplistic main riff manages not to become repetitive because the song has absolutely no structure and goes nowhere. Unique parts come and go and revolve around the main riff like satellites. That’s where the appeal of the song lays. There are no choruses or verses and they were never missed. If the lyrics seem pretty inane, in the end they perfectly fit the song which can be taken as an anti-single anthem and a provocative affirmation of freedom and talent. The last line: “We won’t sell to a major for a couple of bucks, no doubt about it KMFDM sucks.” Could be reformulated: “We consider the music that is popular as mediocre. So our music, which we find great, will certainly not be considered good by most people. Fuck them.”
