Your Machinery Is Too Much for Me!! You can also find this release at these fine stores:
GC sampler of Southern California
bands that started a sound of their own... Featuring Intro5pect,
ESL?!, no erasers allowed, and Kill the Scientist. TRACK LISTING
First off, I fucking love 7"
compilations and I don’t see enough of them there days. Secondly,
I love cover art like this, sketchy, scratchy and awkward and thirdly,
this rocks. Four bands: INTROSPECT, KILL THE SCIENTIST, ESL and
NO ERASERS ALLOWED and it’s all fucking great. This is definitely
a reminder of better days....days when punk rock used to make me
feel special. It reminds me slightly of the MRR comps and even Lookout!
comps...when all that shit was magical. Intro5pect has a track on here,
so I was already into it. They play a different version of a song
off their A-F Records album that features their rapid drum machine
beats with punk rock music. It's great. The other bands are No Erasers
Allowed, Kill The Scientists and ESL. I really liked ESL's pop-punk
tracks and found myself wanting to hear more of them. Anarcho-hardcore concept release
featuring Introspect, Kill the Scientist, ESL and no Erasers Allowed.
The sound collage opening of Introspect's "See the End"
is better than any of the songs, which turn out to be standard mid-tempo
riff-rock. The theme is: corprate greed and technology feeds the
machinery of destruction and vice versa, which in turn east away
at our souls, destroying us as humans. A self-fulfilling prophecy.
Baudrillard's already been there; thumbs up for trying. Keep on
keepin' on. Geykido Comet put out some pretty
interesting comps. This one has four bands on it. The first one,
Intro5pect, play political, ska tinged hardcore. It's better then
you'd think. The second band is No Erasers Allowed. They play a
noisy instrumental song. It's better than you'd think. The third
is Kill The Scientist. They're even noisier, somewhat digital, and
they do a lot of screaming. It's not better than you'd think, but
I can sit through it to get to the next song. The fourth band is
ESL. They play sloppy pop punk that reminds me of some of the stuff
off the Adolescents blue album sometimes. I like it. Like the GC
comp I reviewed in the last issue of Razorcake, this one comes with
a pretty interesting interesting piece written by Jeff from Geykido
Comet, explaining his politics of punk record pressing. This is a good strange 7" comp.
It features Intro5pect with a techno/77 punk type song, two catchy
melodic songs from ESL, a song called "Hitler in the Toy Store"
by No Erasers Allowed, and some noisy crazy weird noises from KTS.
Inside are lyrics and a well written article dealing with the theme.
Oh yeah, it's also on blue vinyl! So whether it be for the music,
the blue vinyl, or to warp your mind…Get this! A mix bag on this 4 band 7".
Intro5pect plays straight up melodic punk. No Erasers Allowed do
the forgettable punk thing. Kill the Scientist definitely have more
than one later-era Vinyl Communication release in their collection.
Finally ESL play some kick ass punk reminiscent of some bay area
stuff from the early 90's, complete with great lyrics. Worth the
cash for the ESL songs. |
