Unbelievable Jolly Machine 7"

UJM does the theme song for the Scud video game.  Neat.

That said, this seven inch moves!  I liked it even better than the Flap Jack CD.

The music, which reminds me of several different bands, though I can't put my finger on a single one, is energetic, schizo and fascinating.  Both of the songs ("Bitter" and "This is My Life") were like a fine Italian meal.  Filling.  Tasty.  A smooth blend of flavors.

Todos Tus Muertos Review

This was originally published in issue 13 of Married Punks from 1998.


Todos Tus Muertos Argentina to Asesina

"Argentina Will Kill Ya" is the translation of this CD's title.  If Argentina doesn't do the job, Todos Tus Muertos will.  This live CD has 14 tracks of pure firepower that encompasses punk, reggae and beats from the band's home country.  This group is angry and political, just how a good band should be

One of my favorite songs, "Dale Aborigen" is here too, which makes this even more necessary to true music fans and revolutionaries.

Grita! makes magic again.


*Grita is the band's label.

Training for Utopia Review

This was originally published in issue 13 of Married Punks from 1998.


Training for Utopia Plastic Soul Impalement


If you notice the record label [Tooth & Nail Records], you may have an inkling of what drives this band: God!

Forget that.  God doesn't matter.  He's a myth.  The music on this release, however, is far from a fairy tale.  It's hard hitting, in your face, screaming, industrial metal.  It's powerful and pulls no punches.  There's a bit of a spiritual message to the lyrics, sure, but nothing I couldn't handle.  "Single Handed Attempt at Revolution" even takes a nice swipe at Marilyn Manson.  Take my advice, Training for Utopia, Satanism is just as ridiculous as Christianity.  The two are interwoven, yes, and Satanism is wrong and weak, but only because it links itself to Christianity at some points.

Overall, an excellent release.
