Married Punks #4: Total Chaos "Patriotic Shock" Review

Transcribed as it originally appeared in Married Punks#4, which most likely was published in 1995.

Total Chaos Patriotic Shock cassette

This is a new favorite of mine. Hard punk that has more in common with the Exploited than it does with Bad Religion. The tape opens with a sample of a Parliament hearing I believe, that can also be found on the Sex Pistols' Pirates of Destiny. Then it launches in with punk rawk the way it should be played, tackling all the important issues in their lyrics backed with fast guitars and snarling vocals. Fuck yeah! Let's go back to the early '80s!

Married Punks #4: Think of Three/James D. Harvey Review

Originally published in Married Punks #4, which came out (most likely) in 1995. Transcribed here as it originally appeared.

Think of Three Personalities/James D. Harvey split tape

This split tape is decent enough. Think of Three has that alternative rock feel to it. It is one step below Live on the hardness scale. It's not bad, nor is it earth-shattering. The James D. Harvey (he's also in Think of Three) side rocks a bit harder, and is my choice for the better of the two sides. Not a must have release, but it does garner the "listen to more than once" status.

Married Punks #4: Suck 7" Review

This came out around 1995 in issue four of Married Punks. I'd put some more Film Threat stuff up, but the site is down. This review is transcribed as it appeared.

Suck 7"

This five song 7" is what people are coming to expect from Northeast bands. Slow downs and speed up parts, warbling vocals. A very likable recording. The drawing of the punk girl on the cover holding a gun gets a thumbs up from me. I listened to this while reading the Adult Video Guide which really set the mood.

Married Punks #4: SNFU The One Voted Most Likely to Succeed CD Review

Originally published in the fourth issue of Married Punks (1995?). The review is transcribed as it appeared.


SNFU The One Voted Most Likely to Succeed

SNFU have been around for about 11 years (counting the break they took) and I never listened to them before this release. this is nice to listen to; enjoyable enough, but it lacks a certain punch to it. It's solid enough both lyrically (nothing too serious) and musically, but still doesn't grab me. Let me put it this way -- I like this enough to keep it, but not enough to seek out any of their older stuff. My favorite song on this disc is "Lovely Little Frankenstein." My guess is that this song will be the one played most and requested the most at their shows.

Married Punks #4: RKL Riches to Rags CD Review

Originally appeared in Married Punks #4, which originally came out in 1995 from what I can figure. The review is transcribed as it originally appears. And no, I still don't like the band.

RKL Riches to Rags CD

I never got into RKL too much. They were usually "just okay." This, however, is a definite improvement over their earlier releases. It doesn't irritate me as much. The first song, "We're Back, We're Pissed," gives a fairly good indication of what's going on here. It's not an "angry" CD, but it has its moments. "H.P.C." is probably my favorite track on here just because it is so true. RKL fans will love this and I bet they even get a whole bunch of new fans.

Married Punks #4: The Joykiller CD Review

Originally published in 1995(?) in issue four of Married Punks. Transcribed as it appeared, this review is from the label Epitaph's heyday.

The Joykiller

Garage punk rock-n-roll! I've never even heard of these guys, and that's a shame. Great music that doesn't have that normal Epitaph type style to it. The opening song, "Love You More Dead," is classic. Lots of songs about love gone wrong. If your relationship is on the rocks and you're bitter, you'll want to pop this on. Even if your love life is great, you'll still dig this.

Married Punks #4: Inspected by Number Six CD Review

This originally appeared in issue four of Married Punks, most likely published in 1995. I don't know why I wrote the review this way, but I do kind of wish I still had the CD. Transcribed as it appears.


Inspected by Number Six CD

Imago put together this nice little sampler CD and decided to sent it to us. Okay ... It starts out with Rollins Band doing "Disconnect." A great opening homerun. Then the band My Head strikes out. Maggie Estep goes up to plate and hits a triple combining spoken work and music. Love Spit Love (Psychedelic Furs' frontman Richard Butler's new band) hits next. It's a single that sounds a lot like New Model Army. The Figgs strike out, as does Orangutang. Shitkicker takes the bat and the crowd yawns. They swing and hit a double. Metal rules! Sha-Key raps a bunt. A laid back woman rapper who evens the team out. Basehead hits a single. It's now a slow, boring game. Plan B hit a double, but it's almost a foul. They should be watched in the future. Their performance of dance music and guitar rock could prove faulty. Giant Sand miss two and hit a single. Overall, the CD is standard, but its moments of greatness are good and its low points are horrendous. Imago-6 MP-5.

Married Punks #4: Guttermouth "Friendly People" Review

This appeared in Married Punks #4, most likely published in 1995. Transcribed as it originally appeared.


Guttermouth Friendly People CD

I've liked Guttermouth since I've heard them on the Dr. Strange compilation, and then when I saw them play with The Offspring my ideas about them were reaffirmed. Now they are on Nitro, Brian Holland's new label. For the few that have never heard of them they sound like NOFX with more balls. Their lyrics border on bad taste, but that's what makes them great. However, they are not racists, as some have implied. All the songs on this release are excellent! There's a song that praises the death of straight-edge, mocks PC people, stands up for veggies and lambasts everyone. "Asshole" stands as one of my favorites. Get this and be the coolest kid on your block.
