the throwaways/spastic panther split 7

okay i'm just about out of stuff to review so i thought i'd do this. sometimes i don't like the idea of reviewing something that was just posted on a blog but now i don't really care. what's up with canada? they just keep turning out great bands. especially new bands. both these bands are are from canada. that's why i wrote that. anyway on to the review. first up is the throwaways. what can i say? fantastic! just fantastic powerpop (and yes zach it is powerpop) with amazing female vocals. i have to say if i was gonna start a powerpop band (which i'm not against doing) i would probably have a girl on vocals. i just think it works. these girls (and guy) have 4 great songs that really leave me wanting more. a lot more! spastic panther are very good but to be honest i'm not in the mood for much hardcore right now. it's because i'm outside and it's really hot and nice. that's where the throwaways come in. maybe when i have to go back to school i'll get into spastic panther. great band name though. i have a cat that looks like a panther and another cat who's spastic as hell. so combine them and you have a spastic panther. i really think these guys are a joke though. that's not an insult. i like it but really not in the mood. get it however you can. and if a member of the throwaways reads this (which you won't be) maybe you can fill in who's in the band and where people can get this which they should. and please put out more stuff!

amebix redux 12 ep

yep. amebix are back. if you don't know amebix then i hate you. haha not really. anyway 3 songs previously released but they've been rerecorded. normally i wouldn't care but this is the first thing they've recorded in over 20 years. and they haven't lost anything. this is great! not as good as arise! but still good. better mixing but i actually like the mix on arise! more. very metallic sounding still. the only thing it at least to me the vocalest used to sound like the dude from venom. i mean i wonder if they were the same person. now he still has that gravelly style of singing but he doesn't sound so much like venom anymore. get this however you can. should be very easy as it's on cd download and vinyl. oh one more thing. this is a message to everyone who includes a download card in the vinyl. don't. i bought the vinyl because i wanted to rip it from my turntable because it sounds better that way. yes i want an mp3 version of it. thank you for realising that. but i can do it myself thank you. i have like 50 download cards that i never used. they're probably expired (can they expire? if they can't come get em) anyway um get this ep.

art in war demo cdr

i told the guys from this band i'd feature them on this blog. in like march. fuck! i'm lazy. anyway my computer fucking crashed. all music i had is gone. until i get this figured out (or maybe just throw shit out the window) every review is something i was gonna post anyway. now on to the music. art in war is not for the metal purests. it sounds like nu-metal. not like level. you remember that right? no this is very good. also it has some very good reggae parts. i'm not really into reggae unless i'm high but this is very good. i don't know how you can get this. can't find fucking anything on the web about this band but i know they exist. but try to get it. it's a very short demo. 3 songs of awesomeness. and before i forget i couldn't do it yesterday but happy late birthday gg allin. you would have been 54. r.i.p.

hatebreed under the knife 7 ep

well i'm doing 15 posts today because the dude from mad blasts of chaos had 10 (although i don't know when he started them) and i thought if he could do 10 with links and shit i could do 15. and thank you for putting an lp up using direct links. i don't know what made you do it or if you just forgot but thank you so much. anyway this post is for him though i don't know if he reads this. anyway he said he liked hatebreed so i pulled out the first ep by these guys. great old metalcore (which is basically metallic hardcore) great stuff. i may be the only one who likes this shit who reads this blog but i don't really care. later on hatebreed went to "bad metal" but i like the bad metal. although having a song like kill an adict is unexceptible. sorry. great song but yeah. i also have a demo by these guys. this was reissued along with the demo on the under the knife cd. get that if you can't get the original. but if you can then...well do that. 14 posts to go.

grudge project x 7 ep

well i was struck by a sudden inspiration to post and this felt so right. grudge were like crucial youth and took the piss out of streight-edge gay crew bands like crippled youth (and that 7 is actually really good i take it back) anyway this is less witty than crucial youth but it really does sound like one of my bands if i were to do something like this. this band shouldn't be taken as a novelty act though because they really rip shit up with 8 songs and a few spoken parts that are just great. the last track o.c. crew is just perfect. i wish there were more bands like this. as much as i like some of those streight-edge bands as i once said "everything needs to be made fun of once." it's still very true today if you ask me. get this from mustard relics and as always look for a hardcoppy. come on you greedy cunts. enjoy this one and remember that "we want you for the o.c crew!"

demon hunter storm the gates of hell cd

i know what your thinking. what? elliott is posting a review for a christian metal band! he's lost it! first of all i never really had it. second even though i'm very far from a christian i really enjoy this one. yes it's metalcore. big deal. people don't like metalcore and i can kind of understand. but when did i post something because the people would like it? i'm posting this because well i'm really not sure why. this is actually very good metalcore with good heavy parts and good melodic parts. the lyrics are worse than crippled youth though. like i said i'm not even near christian and would rather listen to venom satanic lyrics than this but the music is very fucking good. so domon hunter you're lucky you perform well. check this out if you like metalcore. if you don't than well whatever. and thanks to the dude from the modernettes for commenting. that was just cool. i respect everyone who leaves comments on blogs. i just think it's funny cause i said that noone from the band would find this blog and the next day i woke up and checked my comments i need to publish and there it was. so let's summerise. bla bla demon hunter is cool but has stupid lyrics bla bla bla modernettes rule!

the modernettes teen city 12 ep

well zach i guess is taking a little break as i did (if he's not than fuck off) and as liliput said "when the zach's away the elliott will play." okay he's not really gone but i just wanted to put that. what we have hear is another band from canada the modernettes with a fucking killer 12 ep. every song is just great powerpop punk i guess you'd call it. i guess the band didn't want to be big. trust me they could have been. i heard a story about some big record label dipshit coming to a show and i guess he was freaked out cause those guys were smoking and drinking onstage and just acting like well acting like stupid teens. love it. i just checked and they is a comp cd of all the band's material. get it. and it was produced by the same guy who fucked up metallica. actually i like new metallica but fuck it's just not the same. he does a good job on this one though. get it somewhere. and one of the guys has a book out that you should get. not sure what the title is right now but if you look a little you can find it. i think the dude's name is john armstrong but he goes by something else on the record. if you're reading this and you were in this band (which you won't be) fill us in.

anti-cimex scandinavian jawbreaker lp

goddamn this is hard! like every fucking band in the world these guys went metal. or maybe just thicker crust. sounds like motorhead or amebix at times but that's not bad. lyrics are in english for some reason. this band always had something from the first ep to this one. cimex always had power. some people don't like this and i can kind of understand. if you don't like cimex from raped ass on or crust or metal you aren't gonna die when you hear this. but i think i did. still has d-beats and that's awesome but a lot of songs aren't as frantic as on older records. still a great record. get this if you want fucking powerful metal.

the bayonets stuck in this rut 7

at first i thought this was powerpop but now i'm not so sure. doesn't mean shit though as it's a great record. these guys and girl/girls i don't know come from toronto ontario canada. i actually know where that is. they have an indycar race every year. anyway what really stans out are the vocals. i don't know how she does it but her voice is perfect for this band. she doesn't sound pissed or anything but well it's amazing. if the singer for the bayonets is reading this (which she isn't) great fucking job! and if anyone is reading this head over to hpr for this one. except for zach who already has it. oh and i apollogize to both justin (well depending on how he took the joke) of mustard relics and zach of hardcore punk reviews. i was just making a little joke about how i always say what a great site mustard relics is and how cool justin is. just read the ill repute post. anyway hopefully zach comes back. okay enough nice shit. get this one or die!

ill repute demo

sometimes i feel bad that i review shit i find on the net. other times i just feel i'm reviewing something i really like. this is one of those reviews. do you know who ill repute are? no? shame. actually probably everyone knows about this band. these demos are something i've heard but never heard of. great nardcore. that's oxnard hardcore for you people not cool enough to know that. i've been up by oxnard and i can't remember what i did or why i was even in oxnard. that shows you either how borring oxnard is or how stupid i am. a lot if not all of these track are on other releases but now you get them in a rawer (more raw) format. i really like the sound these guys have. is it me or does nardcore have a skating thing going on. not jfa but still great. even though i don't skate i still love skatecore. makes me want to fuck shit up outside. anyway you can find this at soulseak (whatever that is) i think. i got it from some blog called mustard relics. don't think i've ever mentioned that blog before. yeah and the admin is really rude. he's almost as bad as zach! hahahahahaha sorry couldn't resist. enjoy this.

comments

well it turns out i have 167 comments by 9 people. thanks to zach, justin, brian, ed, jimbob, mat, eric, ononymous, and erich. but huge thanks to zach who leaves the most out of all the dudes on this blog but hell i'm just glad someone found this place out. and remember if you read this and don't comment your death will be slow and horible. if you do comment you will have a quick and paneless death. except for zach. he still gets the slow horible death. why? because i'm an asshole! anyway keep on reading and commenting.

live shows

i'm posting but i'm still on break. at the elliott sucks layer of death (my room) all is quiet. a dog is sleeping on the floor having taken my bedsheet with it. and i'm really really really borred. now the question comes up. why don't i sleep? two reasons. the dog (a rather new one) is silent right now and i love it so much. pluss in about 20 minutes the moto gp race will start and i hate tevo so yeah fuck that. and the vacation i had planned well just didn't happen so for now i am confined to the house. anyway why do i go to see live shows? for the feeling? the music? or just seeing some other kids that are kind of likeminded once you get passed the racing thing. no. it's the fuckups. and also the music but a live show without missing notes or not remembering a song and just either mumbling through or just fucking shit up (fuckshitupism as someone once said) that's why no band will probably never play with me onstage. i am anything but a perfectionest and the best shows i've seen honestly was when the band couldn't play but still tried. that's also why i don't rerecord things. i put it down once unless i want to change something dramaticly in the song. otherwise you get it the first time through no matter what it sounds like. so anyway if your a band embrace the fuckups and don't be a perfectionest twat like some assholes. oh cool i've killed some time. see you all later. actually i may post again just to keep myself awake. i'm sure later on today i'll see this post as i offin do with my posts and say what the fuck was i thinking? i'm pretty sure i didn't write most of these posts. they were actually put down by some drunk dude from norway. or maybe an even more drunk and probably insane person from sunland. oh shit i just outed myself. fuck. okay i'm really tired of writing nothing. see you.

taking a break

well i'm kind of on break. i just don't feel like posting music reviews right now. thinking of starting a new blog that deals with racing. plus as someone (and you know who you are) said i'm lazy. if you want my writing but ya know better go to hardcore punk reviews. except that guy doesn't say fua or shit as much as i do hahaha. anyway i'll be back later. oh and one more thing. you know what i hate? people who hang out with snobbish assholes with a lot of money and they start acting like they're all amazing and shit. fuckin scumbags.

alright alright i'll post

well it's time i get off my ass and post. here at the elliott sucks layer of death (you come up with a better one) it's really quiet. i mean really fucking quiet. is it always this quiet? oh right it is. oh well. review coming.

contramundi s/t cd

okay i had this for fucking ever but didn't know who these guys (and girl) were. finally found the band name and then i found out that they're from south africa. interesting. i think they broke up cause last i heard the drummer was going to france. sucks but what are ya gonna do? kind of melodic but really good peace punk. if you like that kind of thing go to archive.org and get it. if you don't then shut up. simple. the female vocals really add something to this album. check it out. i really don't want to give too much away. if you don't at lest check it out i don't like you and um i guess that's it. just do it.

metallica master of puppets lp

the first time i heard metallica was when i was 8 years old and i bought a nascar comp. don't ask. the first track was an outtake from i believe load or maybe reload and it sent shivers down my young spine. it was amazing to me at least. then i found out it wasn't cool to like new metallica. know what? i didn't fucking care. metalheads piss me off sometimes. not all of them but some. i'd rather hang out with punks and listen to metal only with my metal friends you are actually smart metalheads if you can call them metalheads. anyway i think i bought this album when i was like 12 and it was the fastest shit i'd heard. now i still think it's a great album but not thrash. no not even close. well maybe prog thrash. i mean the first track battery is nothing but a kickass power metal song in thrash makeup. if you ask me they never topped no life til leather or the hit the lights track on the oh what's it called comp. any help? i mean kill em all is great but not that great. ride the lightning is great too but kill is better. i do like all metallica albums (yes even st. anger now fuck off) but the demo's where the shit's at. but do get this album. it's really good. but don't think of it as a thrash album. i never got that. i mean most of the tracks aren't even fast. one thing i hate about this album is how damn long the songs are. please cut the songs in half and drop that instramental. anyway get this now.

the radiators from space enimys 7

a great irish band that doesn't sound irish at all. one of things that sets this band apart from most other punk bands is this band has a great singer. i mean just listen to him. backing vocals are great too. first track is one of my favorites of the punk genre (i mean pure punk) second track is good but well it's not enimys. nothing can be enimys. if you're in a band and even think of trying to make a song better than this don't. give up and do something else with your life. hpr has it. don't know how anyone can get this. hey zach how did you get this? enjoy

v/a behind the redwood curtain 7 ep comp

you know i have a feeling that blogs like this are the new version of the fanzine. 30 years from now i'm gonna put out a book of all thse posts. i know one person who'd buy a coppy. no not my parents stupid! well i just had to post something because soon zach is gonna catch up and we can't have that. just a little comp i got at mustard relics. oh this is all humboldt bands. underhand are good but a little on the pop punk side which is still okay i guess. one man running and grout rip shit up. i'm sorry if i'm not doing this in order. oh well it's my blog. couch is okay. worth a download.

ug!

i'm at a point right now where i'm just lacking in motivation. i'll review something i sware.
