Brutal Knights "Blown 2 Completion" LP

I believe this is the last Brutal Knights release. It is sad really. This great party band is coming to an end. Does this spell the end of fun? Well "Blown 2 Completion" deliveres more of the adrenalin fuelled dad like rants that previous releases have. And like the Brutal Knights the contradictions run high as the opening track sees the band recommended we "Relax. Take Breaks". For the most part this is driving garage punk fused with hardcore a la Dean Dirg. There are a few exceptions like the electronic inspired "Summertime Coffee" which reminds me a bit of Born Against's "Well Fed Fuck". The other exception is "Too Many Tattoos" which is meant to sound like a mosh-core band for extra emphasis. The retard factor is high with songs like "I Hate Chores" or "I Want Wings" or "Food Shopping", but that was always part of the Brutal Knights. They weren't afraid to say what was inappropriate for the sake of humour. The songs on here are:

1. Take Breaks
2. I Hate Chores
3. Bad Choice
4. P.O.W.M.I.A.
5. I'll S Your D
6. Summertime Coffee
7. Too Many Tattoos
8. Sky Mall
9. Wings
10. Heave Ho
11. Food Shopping
12. Life Problem

Molested Youth "We're Always Going to Have Breakfast Alone!" ep

MOLESTED YOUTH are part of Toronto’s newest wave of hardcore bands. They have been around for a couple of years in a different line up. Warren’s brother has replaced Sean on vocals giving them more of an early L.A. punk sound. Or at least it reminds me of how hardcore band’s today are looking back trying to recapture that essential anger that spawned bands like BLACK FLAG. And I mean pre-Rollins Flag. Like the way TERMINAL STATE were able to channel the Dangerhouse sound. Well Side B of this ep has the band developing more of their own sound. Songs like “Reparations” really demonstrate a coming into their own. A blending of hardcore speed with punk sounding accents has them straddling both worlds. They demonstrate a knowledge of the generations that make up punk without the baggage of having lived it. The sound really borrows and develops a sonic soundscape that is virgin territory while still sounding vaguely familiar. This is what you want to hear in a new record. A band developing the punk sound. I’m sure the band is happy to hear comparisons to SEX/VID and DEEP WOUND, but really it is somewhere more like trying to be like CAREER SUICIDE exploring early FLAG, STOOGES, ABURADAKO and GANG OF FOUR territory.
