violence and is afraid of knowledge or
political action, is not athreat at
all, but has gone over to the enemy. Punk
was originally amimicry, asatire of
the disturbing nature of Western cul-
ture. But it threatens to become more
and more are-enactment of those same
values and thereby cross over the line
fromrejection to concealed acceptance,
however well-disguised it may be by mo-
hawks, shaved heads, leather, etc.
Of course, arebellious countercul-
ture isn't an organized political move-
ment with one set of "acceptable" ideas,
but rather amixture of values under one
banner
. Unfortunately, in abasically
illiterate society such as ours, music
is
one of the only ways newideas get
disseminated,

and it is within this

seemthat the values of both counter-
cultures have more in common nowthan
not . If being political is out, and hav-
ing fun is in, what's the dif?
Originally, there were many types in-
volved with the 60's counter-culture:
cultural radicals, politicos, poets,
dreamers, walking wounded, hustlers,
etc. Eventually, one strain became the
most prevalent - the apolitical petit-
bourgeoise. They were anti-intellectuals
who rejected the past, claiming that
there was nothing to learn fromit ; who
advocated one emotion (in this case,
love) ; who pushed the "do-your-own-thing'
line
. And that's exactly what they did,
becoming self-Indulgent, isolated from
reality, and decimated by drugs, cults,
and greediness
. Many became small busi-
nessmen, the "hipeoise" . They left so-
ciety alone, but eventually Imitated all
the aspects they once rejected. And that
led to their eventual incorporationinto
the mainstream. The threat was coopted.
When punk came along, it was largely
arejection of the failures of the 60's
kids. Punks were going to be different-
confrontational . Once again, it was a
mixture of types -rebels left over from
the 60's,youngcynics, political punks,
fun-seekers, etc
. But as time passes,
certain strains are again becoming pre-
valent and, as in the 60's,

it is the
anti-intellectuals, the rejectors of
history, the advocates of one emotion
("hate", this time), and the embracers
of "do-your-own-thing" that prevail
. It
Is frightening to see howrapidly history
is indeed repeating itself for those who
do not care to learn fromthe mistakes
of the much-abused Hippie; howclose to
mainstreambourgeoise values of Self
they are mo v i n g

must collect ourselves . If it stresses

you to kiss their ass by saying good

to be aslave of poverty. Learning a-
bout what's really going on around you

not what they're concerned about ; they
just want to keep you quiet and obedi-

tained by those outside

it's been exercised since birth), the

To the Readers of MaximumR'n'R:
You might not be very concerned about
what Is happening in the Falklands right
now, but I think that you should pay at-
tention because if this small war esca-
lates, Reagan might decide to send us
draft-age people down there to help our
British friends.
I was surprised to find that some punks
think that Britain is afine country and
that its right in trying to win back the
islands
. After all, England gave us the
Pistols, Sham, Di, etc., right? Well, if
you haven't noticed, most British bands
are opposed to their country's govern-
ment
. But alot of people I talked with
still thought Argentinawas wrong in in-
vading the islands.
One reason that justified the invasion
by the Argentines is that Britain did
almost the exact same thing about 150
years ago
. Britain had control of the
islands until 1774, when it withdrewfrom
themand gave themto Spain. The Span-
ish abandoned the islands in 1811, and
the Argentines took control in 1829
. But
in 1833, England decided that it wanted
the Falklands back and forcibly removed
the Argentine settlers.

At that time,
Argentinacouldn't compete with the Eng-
lish navy,

so there was nothing they

could do about the takeover.
The main reason supporting Argentina
's
invasion will appeal to most anarchists
and to anyone who don't like war -Britain
is an imperialist country, just like the
U.S. and Russia
. These governments are
always trying to increase their wealth
and territories (right nowthey're bick-
ering about howto carve up Antarctica).
When countries with this type of govern-
ment get big enough, they have plenty of
money (fromtaxes) for bombs and large
armies
. That is what has brought this
world to its present state -big countries
with money enough to have acontest to
see which one have the most destructive
force
. But if all the small countries
(like Argentina) were to invade the big
countries' territories little by little,
soon there would no longer by any big
countries, only small ones without money
enough to make big destructive mechan-
isms. And there would be alot less wars,
or at least less bloody ones. When the
issues are considered, I think most punks
would probably be on Argentina's side.
This crisis is not over.
Can you name any of the
other wars happening now?

TO FIND OUT THAT WE'RE BEING MADE
WE KEEP FALLING FLAT ON OUR FACE
AREN'T WE PART OF THE HUMAN RACE?
On the night of March 15 over a hun-
dred local musicians and fans squeezed
inside the Sound of Music fora meeting.
Tension filled the air as meeting coor-
dinator Johnathin Formula

(ex-Damage
writer) began to talk
. Understandable
since the topic was police harassment
of punks at the Sound of Music and other
venues .

Both audience and performers

felt it was time something should be
done . Topics covered included
: estab-
lishing a dialog with the police ; join-
ing with groups already involved against
police brutality
; the dismal shape of
the club "scene ;" and what should be
done for minors who can't get into shows.
Toward the end of the evening the con-
sensus was that an organization to deal
with these problems be formed . A seven
member board was nominated and elected.
Their job would be to help organize fu-
ture meetings, deal with publicity and
work towards solving problems
.

Notable
personalities elected included Olga De
Volga (of the Lewd),

Jeff 'M111er

(of
Bad Posture), and Sid Terror (of Undead
fame) .

The next meeting was scheduled

for April 5th.
Two weeks later the elected board met
at the S of M for a closed meeting
. They
spoke a great deal about what their pri-
mary goals should be . There was talk of
organizing committees to do the booking
and security at the Sound of Music (an
idea embraced by Celso, club owner), for
researching cases of police harassment,
and formation of a musicians' switch-
board for sharing of equipment, trans-
portation and lodging for touring bands.
The name Sound of Music Artists Associ-
ation was chosen (through lack of imag-
ination?) before this evening came to
a close . A board meeting was scheduled
for a day before the next general meet-
ing . Unfortunately, it never occurred.
Then, the April 5th general meeting
ran into difficulty
. Chairperson Melissa
reported on the Board's meeting . Board
members were introduced and several of
them described their research so far;
including Sid Terror who spoke about his
work towards creating,' switchboard . He
said that his band (the Undead) would
be doing a benefit for S .F .'s cable cars,
to shine some good publ ici ty on the SMAA.
This was strongly opposed by the crowd
and board members who saw such a media
plug as contrary to their beliefs and
values . The meeting degenerated into a
debate as to whether or not d benefit for
the cable cars would misrepresent

the
organization.
Three months have passed since the
April 5th meeting and the SMAA has taken
no action nor held another meeting . It
is difficult to pinpoint the reasons for
this stagnation . To get a better per-
spective, I spoke to three of the board
members.
Jeff (of Bad Posture) feels that one
problem was the lack of communication
after the last meeting
. Another was that
some board members were living in pover-
ty ; lack of jobs, money, food or health
led to lack of incentive .

Jeff

still
feels that something can be accomplished
but is uncertain as to how and when.
Cathie Olson and Christie feel that
the reason that nothing is happening is
that there was no clear definition of
what the SMAA stood for . People did not
analyze the problems to be tackled by
the SMAA carefully, or they let their
emotions or self-serving interests cloud
the issues . This prevented any lasting
structure from being built
. Structure,
not in the sense of bureaucracy but in
the sense of people taking on responsi-
bility . They
.feel a lot of things need
to be cleared up before they could take
on an active role in the SMAA again.
Celso, owner of the Sound of Music,
was the only real optimist . He believes
it is possible for the SMAA to function
in the future, even though meetings have
not been held and board members have not
remained in contact with each other
. He
has been working with his lawyer to get
non-profit status for the group (giving
it access to grants, free postage, etc .).
.Me
thinks It is ,only a matter of time .
We shall see . But for now there are
no easy answers as to why the SMAA has
stalled . All I know is that bunch of
people were pissed one day
. They decided
to get together and talk about their
problems . Someone said organize and a
board was elected . Some people on that
board were sincere about doing something
positive for the music scene, and som
had other intentions . But if anythinc
is responsible, it's everyone's hasti-
ness . Things happened much too quickly.
No one bothered to find out if there
was a better way to solve the problems
or a better way to organize.
Without fully understanding the issues
(police harassment, minors, booking,
etc
.), or clearly agreeing on the common
goals, a united attack is hopeless . Hey,
better luck next time, but remember your
Rules of Parliamentary Procedure
. Anar-
chy does not have to be one-to-one com-
bat between paleolithic punk-beasts --
let's go after the dinosaurs!

SCENES
BAY AREA
-Tim Y.
Bands in the Bay Area continue tomul-
tiply faster than we can keep up with,
and here's how it adds up . In San Fran-
cisco proper, the most popular bands in
the punk-H .C . scene seem to be the DK's,
Flipper (probably much to their chagrin),
Code of Honor and MDC . All have albums
out by now (as has the Lewd, whose pres-
ent status is in limbo)
. Up and coming
bands include Bad Posture,

Fuck Ups,
Domino Theory, and Free Beer (ex-Re-
venge) . Other newer bands these days are
Juvenil Justice, 5th Column, and Urban
Assault (not the So . Lake Tahoe gang).
No Alternative reformed, War/one mutated
Into Vicious Circle, with Jeff joining
remnants of the Fried Abortions to form
Lennonburger
. Impatient Youth still ex-
ist, but rarely play . Arsenal is off to
the U .K . to record for Crass, and the
Undead are rumored to have had stakes
driven through their hearts . The Tanks,
Hellations, God, and Wild Women of Borneo
all have something in common . And then
there's the Pop-o-Pies, who trucked here
from New Jersey.
The Fast Bay scene has finally come
alive, as have all the suburbs . The de-
mographics of the scene show a shift to
the outlying areas, and a constant drop
in the average age . We have no accurate
statistics on any possible drop in I .Q.
Crucifix, now veterans, are joined by
Deadly Reign, Intensified Chaos, Fang,
Ghost Dance, and Shut-Up . From the North
hail the great Naked Lady Wrestlers (for-
merly the False Idols), Pariah, Karnage,
Demented Youth, and UXB . And from the
Eastern fringe, Social Unrest. continues
to hold sway, although they too hardly
ever perform . They are joined now by
Vengeance, Anti-Social, and everybody's
favorite most-hated band, Church Police.
And the Southern flank Is brought up by
the Afflicted, Whipping Boy, Killjoy,
and PLH
. I'm sure that by the time this
paper goes to press, there'll be 10 more
new ones, but next issue for them .
RENO
-Fletch
In May, Domino Theory and Vicious Cir-
cle travelled over the mountains for a
gig with Urban Assault from Tahoe and
Seven Seconds, one of the oldest bands
from Reno
. I decided to follow along to
see if Reno could produce a show as mem-
orable as the time I saw Black Flag at
a house at the Paiute Indian Reserva-
tion.
We entered the geriatric city and fol-
lowed some local punks to a bar behind
an oriental restaurant, a new venue dis-
covered by one of Seven Seconds . It was
a hick bar with a strange pit area for
the audience, and an equally strange
raised area for the stage . Since we had
arrived early, and due to a huge garbage
bin near the door, most of us migrated
to the parking lot (upwind, to avoid
being assaulted by blasts of foul air).
Unfortunately, the neighbors didn't ap-
preciate seeing so many punks out in the
open, and a Reno motorcycle cop soon
arrived . He gave us five minutes to get
inside the bar, or he'd create problems
for the show.
few hours after everyone was inside,
the narcs arrived and threatened to stop
the show unless the owner put away all
the liquor (because of all the minors in
the crowd)
. Amazingly enough, the owner
put all the booze into the back room,
losing his best source of money.
A pretty decent garage thrash band,
Urban Assault, played first. I was glad
to see that punks in mellow Tahoe were
raking up some trouble. They had some
problems with equipment, but they soon
had the people tumbling around.
Next, Domino Theory blew them away
with one of the best sets I have ever
heard . The bass player growled out the
lyrics while the rest of the band moved
with the deliberation of a hone-crushing
tank . They've added new songs and rear-
ranged their set, and they are now very
powerful.
Vicious Circle came next .

Their set
was loose .

A substitute drummer made

them play too fast,

but the

audience
appreciated all of the bands anyway,
flinging themselves

about until

they
were exhausted.
Curfew rolled around, and Seven Sec-
onds still had not played, so the band
decided to move the show . Everyone threw
themselves into a dozen cars and tore
through the streets in search of a place
to play . After cruising through dark,
suburban horderlands, we ended up in a
backyard only two blocks from the casino
st ri p . I veryone got ripped and staggered
ahoul the yard figuring out escape routes
In case the cops came and got violent.
Seven Seconds set up their equipment
on the lawn and started playing . The
sound quality was better than in the
bar . They ripped through their tight,
fast songs, proving that they could get
a crowd moving . This is where the real
Reno attitude appeared
. Social barriers
dropped, cliques broke up and everyone
acted how they pleased
. More people fell
on their asses from swilling beer and
grinding up the sod than I've seen in a
long time.
The bash broke up when Reno's finest
Arrived after Seven Seconds started
playing their songs a second time around
but they
were quiet about it, and gave
everyone twenty minutes to pack up and
leave
. The only person to get carted
away was a guy who puked on one of the
patrol ears
. The rest of us slipped off
to a party on the other

side of town.
Our Reno visit ended the next morning
as we, still drunk, drove off into the
worst heat wave of the season .
P .S . The owner of the bar had a heart
attack, so no more shows there
. I'm sure
the Reno punks will gel. bored enough to
find a new place
. They always do.
FRESNO
-Dale Stewart
Finally, some punk gigs in Fresno! We
found a warehouse on the outskirts of
town . It had been about 9 months since
the last public gig, with only parties
and trips to SF and LA to sustain us,
but somehow the number of tough, street-
wise Fresno punks grew anyway.
About 80 kids initiated the new place,
thrashing their buns off . First up were
the Frigidettes, who have an interesting
twist in their line-up : 3girls on the
instruments -and a guy on vocals . They
had been around for several months with
an all-girl line-up, but without the
hard, fast sound they have now.
Next was Capitol Punishment, playing
a stable set buttressed by a new drummer,
Mike . They had only practiced for 2 weeks
but Mike added a power and tightness they
never had before
. High points were "EL
Salvador" and "Wrong Direction" . Also
"Theory of Poverty " , a song about the
Trickle-Down Theory which claims that
wealth will trickle down to the poor due
to the honesty and generosity of Big
Business . Don't hold your breath.
After C
.P ., a few jam bands got going.
X-Ray Dog did a couple of punked-out old
rock covers and a slow PiL-Like song
. A-
couple guys from the Authorities and the
Young Pioneers came down from Stockton
and jammed on a few numbers -one of which
urged people to go piss on something.
Finally the Cambodian Kids (ex Zero
Population Growth) cranked out a couple
of their vicious, Lightning-fast songs.

-Mickey Creep
on
Punk in San Francisco has meant poli-
tical since its dawning . It was here in
July' 1978 that every punk band in the
city, except Crime, played three days
of benefit concerts for striking coal
miners, where two months later the Mab
was filled for a benefit for striking
railroad workers
. We drew 1,000 people
to a concert to benefit jailed Black
Panther leader, Ceronimo Pratt
. We play-
ed for the F .M .L .N ./F .D .R
., the I .R .A .,
American political prisoners and on and
on
. The summer of 1978 also saw bands
organize and fight private promoters '
like Maniacts and later New Youth . Rock
Against Racism had an active chapter
here
. In the White Riot of May '79 punks
turned out in a direct assault on the
state . We were communists, socialists,
situationalists, anarchists . We were a
threat.
It is with great pride that this punk/
red/pet rocker recalls those days
. As
manager of the Dils, Negative Trend, The
Zeros, and The Toiling Midgets, I did my
part, but past glory is just that -past.
Now you and I are confronted with new
fights, and far too many that are left
over . Nuclear bombs, imperialist wars,
and capitalist austerity are not going
to miss each and every mohawked head.
It is a fight for survival we are en-
gaged in.
The world is a battle ground and we
are all combatants . When the Zionist,
hiding their fascism behind yellow stare
.,
march into Lebanon to commit genocide
against the Palestinian people, they are
doing it with 1 .5 billion dollars a year
in military aid from the U
.S ., and that
money is coming from you
. It is coming
from food stamp cut offs, welfare cut-
backs, higher college tuitions, loss of
funding for the arts, etc
. etc . As the
bodies of Palestinians pile higher and
higher, the dividend checks of the people
who own the factories that make Side-
winder missies gore larger and larger.
Lebanon is your backyard, you have been
drafted whether you know it or not . Like
it or not, this is your war, every war
is,your war
. Choose what side you are
on, and when the fight begins, know your
weapon .

C ult ur eof "U ninvolved"
Will SucceedBea t niks
1 THE "LONELY CROWD" will prub-
ably give way to the "uninvolved one," a
New York psychiatrist has predicted.
The Angry Young Men and the Beatniks
will be followed by a generation that does
sot protest any more because it will no
longer have a need for deep permanent
relations.
Dr
. Leopold Bellak of City Hospital at
Elmhurst, New York City, said that by
adapting to a constant flow of changing
stimuli, modern man is losing his identity.
He sees a character structure developing in
American society that has no strong identi-
fication, similar to children reared in many
different foster homes and orphanages.
"This type of character has also been
seen in people exposed to overwhelming
experiences, such as in former inhabitants
of concentration camps.
"They may appear well functioning
enough, but hardly anything seems to go
more than skin deep
; there is a strong
armor that wards off all more intense feel-
ings."
Dr. Bellak foresees amiable relations, a
kind of "cocktail party" sociability, with
greater interdependence alongside a "prob-
ably still higher standard of living." But
this smooth, urbane culture will be unin-
volved, with no sense of belonging, he said
in the Archives of General Psychiatry, Aug.
1961, published by the American Medical
Association.
Scienw News Letter, 80 :137 August 26, 194,i
"Death for Profit"
War is a killing toy to human life
. So leaders can add
more profit to their realm of stupidity -Humans are
nothing but armed puppets
. Conquest for power -the
scales are balanced -Life and Profit as War/Death
laughs with his bloody tool .

-Pushead
Actually, he was "disappeared" by
his parents -sent to a mental institu-
tion, then to a military "school" in
Utah . He cannot be visited by friends,
or receive mail
. He's lucky . In Guate-
mala, El Salvador,Chile and Argentina
the "disappeared" stay that way -dead.
This is
,
just a sneaky way to get
you to see the movie MISSING . It is
about the U.S . cover-up of the CIA's
role in the fascist military coup in
1974 against the democratically elect-
ed Socialist government, and how the
"rules" only apply when they serve
Capitalist interests.
The book MISSING, by Thomas Hauser
is even'better . After you read it,
think about the Junta's announcement
this Spring that, yes, MILITARY RULE
WILL CONTINUE. . .as it does in so many
nations friend]y to the U .S . .

PUNK PROPAGANDA
m .,.

PROTEST OR PROSELYTISM
Punk means question authority, right?
Live by your own rules, not the govern-
ments
. We have too many people telling
us what to do and how to do it-parents,
,teachers, preachers and the government.
After dealing with all these assholes
telling us what to do, we don't want to
go to a show and hear a punk band tell
us how to act.
Not everyone feels this way, but some
people do
. They feel that certain bands
(most notably the Dead Kennedys)

are
telling people how to act . It can be
argued that punk is basically political
in nature, but other people feel that
1 politics should be left up to the indi-
vidual . Most musicians from hard-core
bands feel that politics should be dic-
tated by the individual, not bands and
see themselves as an outlet for dissem-
inating ideas, not guidelines
. I inter-
viewed both band members and audience
to see how they felt.
Maria
: What do you think about bands
that are political? Do you get the im-

and other folks are confused about where

Maria (to Jeff, singer from Bad Posture):
Your band doesn't have any overtly poli-
tical songs.
Jeff
: Yeah, and it ' s pretty obvious to
me, because MDC is one of my favorite '
bands
. I went to Texas with them once
and I really dig them and they like us,
but they're always singing about poli-
tics
. We like to sing about the things
,that happen to us, day to day, everyday.
Things that happen to us when we get up
and walk around - that is what we sing
about . We don ' t sing about politics be-
cause if you're a punk and you do not
know you're getting fucked in the butt
by the government, then why the fuck are
you here? I mean, the hippies were say-
ing, " Shit is gonna hit the fan, so be
careful ." We don't need to say that be-
cause it's already hit the fan and eve-
rybody knows that, from your financial-
district person to people in the Tool
and Die . We do not have to sing about
that . We're not worried about politics
., JEFF of . Bad Posture
We can leave that to the people who go
on television and tell us how wonderful
they are because they're running for gov-
ernor . As far as I'm concerned, I'd rath-
er talk about me, my girlfriend, or my
friends
. It sounds real petty, but it's
not .

Darron from the DK's played with

us because our drummer quit
. The DK's
are one of my favorite bands . Jello gets
up there and talks about Reagan and all
that, and I am glad he does . The DK's,
that's their trip and they are really
good at it . They believe in it, so that
is fine
. But we don't believe in talk-
ing about that, because to me it's not
worth it.
Maria : Do you think people get on Bad
Posture for this attitude?
Jeff
: Tonight we got quite a bit of shit.
We always do, because a lot of my lyrics
talk about how unless kids get united
they're always gonna get fucked
. We're
not united . I do not care if you're a
Nazi Punk, or not . It's a bunch of shit,

The Church Police are Walnut Creek,
a suburban paradise of spacious malls
and Taco Bells
. The vacancy of their
environment is suitable yeast for the
mold of their songs . In the beginning,
Eric said he wanted the Church Police
to be the most depressing band ever.
In the eyes of mariy,they've succeeded.
BRU CE: It rules.

I don't understand
all these SF people who are afraid to
go beyond the Caldecott Tunnel . The
East Bay is really where it's at if
you want calmcraziness.
TIM
: Well, it's not that great .

It's
kind of boring.
BRU CE :

It's boring but it rules.

A cold night in San Francisco, and
Tim is telling his version of the cre-
ation myth of the Church Police.
TIM : One day at this show in Concord
I said "I'm gonna start a band called
the Church Police
. Who wants to be in
it?" Eric was standing around and. ..
ERIC: We had a bass. Bruce had a bass
amp and we didn't.
MAXR-R : Is that the only reason you
used him?
ERIC: Basically.
TIM : I wanted to be the frontman . That
was the real idea behind the group,be-
cause at the time I was drumming for
the Maroons. Bruce and Dave formed
that band when we were all going to
City College . I first saw Dave walking
down the steps of the administration
building wearing these red pants
. I
said"This guy looks like a jerk." Then
later on we went to Bruce's writing
class once and you did that thing
called "The Chair
."

,
DAVE : Oh Jesus.
BRU CE
: We're going to emberrass Dave.
TIM : This was written before anybody
knew anybody.
DAVE: I left my Stepmom's chair out
in the rain and she got pissed, so I
wrote a poemabout it.
TIM : I happenned to go into this wri-
ting class
. ..
DAVE : I had problems.
TIM : . .And there was this guy doing
this thing' called "The Chair ." We all
thought it was real stupid. We did.
The Church Police recently reunited
after an overly long period of non-ac-
tivity, which caused much speculation
as to the reality of their existence.
But they never really broke up,because
they never officially got together.
For awhile Dave and Timdidn't play--
they felt they "had better things to
do ." That's all over now, Timand Dave
are back fromMexico and ready to play.
TIM : We went to the gulf of Mexico,
the Yucatan, and the Mayan ruins. It
was a literary journey, 'cause I read
lots of books. Do you know why it was
inspiring? Down in Mexico we kept say-
ing, Fuck, what're we doing here, we
;should be in San Francisco, practicin'
and playin' shows .
DAVE: The center of the universe, San
Francisco man.
TIM
: When we were driving through
Texas, Arizona,Mexico, we kept saying,
"All these people here are morons.
They don't know anything
." These res-
taraunts in Arizona had these pamphlets
that are kinda like religion but kinda
like Burroughs control system
. The
control systemis something that you're
sucked into as you get older, go to
College and GET A JOB which pays like
20-30 thousand a year increasing by 3
thou a year.
ERIC: Hey Tim, wouldn't you rather be
making 20 thousand a year than fuckin'
-Eric Bradner
3 dollars and 50 cents or whatever?
TIM : But Eric, what would you say if
they tell you if you do this you gotta
quit the band, and you gotta quit' wri-
tin' . If you get a telephone operator
job, or like a PG&E job, they want you
to go home and not even do nothing.
(Bruce comes back fromthe bathroom)
BRU CE
: What are you talking about? I
work as a recieving clerk for this com-
pany that makes buttons and trim, and
I also deliver stuff.
ERIC: I work at Acclimation, this tax
place, putting taxes together
. Like,
I could fuck people up, but I don't
know who I'mfucking up
. I can't take
no money.
DAVE
: I amunemployed and proud of it.
TIM : I'munemployed right now too.
ERIC: No
way! You work at that shitty
little place.
TIM
: I went in there the other day and
said,"Hey, I'mback," and they said
. ..
PLL: Who cares?
)AVE
: That's OK, we both read Henry
Hiller, we both want to be bums.
FIM : Yeah, literary bums.
DAVE
: No, just bums.
TIM :

Remember when we played that

'Ihobbing Gristle show?

Will, from
FLIPPER, said to
: me early and play.
They said, "U se our equipment
.

It's
cool ." We went there and Ian said,
"You guys can't play,get the fuck outte
here."
DAVE :

Ted's guitar hung down to my

knees.
TIM : Then later those big bouncers
they had with long hair and beards were
trying to beat Dave up.
DAVE : They stomped me pretty good.
ERIC: When?
DAVE
: At Throbbing Gristle.
ERIC: No way.
TIM : You wanna bet, you just sat up-
stairs and smoked pot,but when Flipper
was playing we were running across the
stage.
DAVE : Some fat guy stomped on my foot.
TIM : And, later Ward goes, "Hey, let's
,rip out their sink
." So we did. We
;went back in about 20 minutes and the
(whole bathroomwas in, like, 3
inches
lof water.
It's March 6, 1982, and the Church
Police are scheduled to play with the
Dead Kennedys in,of all places, Walnut
Creek.

It's the great take-it-to-the

f'lsuburbs tour, with the local boys fi-
nally playing on home turf
. The crowd
is groundbreakingly stupid, and go to
outrageous extremes to show how "punk"
they are.

Hey, there's no convenient

war,so let's pretend,kids! It's mainly
composed of made-up suburban kids pos-
ing in an obnoxious manner which they
suppose qualifies them for some kind
sf rebel status.
Unfortunately, along
with their lack of humor comes a lack
of originality, which negates taking
any of their copycat antics seriously.
The Church Police play and everyone
stares woodenly.

What is this shit,

man? We thought this was gonna be a
Punk rock show
. To put it lightly, the
Church Poloce are not your garden var-
iety thrash band
. Not knowing what to
do with this strange emanation, the
crowd takes the easiest way out and
snarls its' hate
. They spit,yell, make
gestures, throw things, hit, you know,
your typical type
A look-in-your-punk-
textbook-do-I-look mean-enough bullshit
The band reacts in an exemplary manner
and just go about their business . After
all, they were asked
to play, noone
asked the crowd to come and make trou-
ble
. And 'twas surely a loutish crew.
I mean, ready to kill
. They really
loved the band (even if they wouldn't
see it that way), simply because they
hated themso much
. Finally the Church
Police were pulled offstage, which was
wise
. I would like to have them live
to play again. Their steadfast behavior
at this show again proves the motto:
Church Police is God.

Church Police
is Disco.
MAX R-R :

Are the Church Police a fun

band?
BRU CE : Always never fun.
DAVE
: I think at our shows you have to
take notes to really appreciate them.
BRU CE : PARTY!

Where this Land of Plenty grows so
little of value to us, we punks thrive
in the darkness of moral America's ugly
imagination, like exotic, noxious mush-
rooms growing on the rotten wood of its
Dreams -but hashing heads and breaking
bottles on the dance floor in the name
of Anarchy won't change the world. What
will?Dope?Guns?Crafitti?Or can punk
rock be really political?
Military governments like
Pakistan, El Salvador and
Korea are
beingbudgetedvast amounts of military aid (aid:
aEuphemism
for destructionandmisery. Aidoncemeant,
" to
help," as in toprovide food,Aelter andsuccor) to
defend
themselves against the "World Terrorism" evil
Russia has brought to their dominions. I fail to see the
difference between
a Commie bullet ana a Yankee bullet;
which is moredeadly?Whenbothleft-wing and right-wing
gunmen
drag people
out of their houses to blowtheir
brains out andevenPakistan might havea "bomb" among
the
thousands andthousands of nuke-ular weapons scat-
tered aroundtheglobe,
it hardly matters who pulls the
trigger. The stench of death is foul no matter which way
the
wind blows. During WWI idealistic Dada and Futurist
artists ran off to fight, as an artistic act of greatness. The
amount of aid that Reagan has already sent to El Salvador
is much more than the amount he wants to cut Arts
programs. So. artists, musicians and dancers, join the
fight! ThatrebornChristian and humanitarian Jimmy Car-
ter approveda whopping $910 million in military aid in
1979. Under Reagan wecanhopefor a Carte Blanche to
the battlefield.
"I don't want it Reagan
' s way. I want
it like anarchy
. No way, no rule over
anything. Freedomof thought
. We're just
pawns in Reagan's chessmatch
. . .he used
us to
get into power . He's like Hitler
.he promises one thing, then he changes
his mind.

Hitler was an anarchist at

first
. Reagan is a kind of anarchist.
He promised a lot of things, but nowhe
is going back
on his word. . .I hate the
fuckin' shit, man. I'd shoot the bas-
tard
. He's gonna send us to war over the

shit . . .all that nuclear bomb
shit, man.

United States' mistakes

-Deny Havoc
Rebellion Against Authority
Does Haigravation bother you?
Someone offers youa
" line" but it
turns out to be the politically correct
kind
. Youturn on the radio, and some-
body is telling you that your favorite
bands are too racist and sexist
. A punk
writes a grafitto saying that the radio
show's staff are a bunch of white male
supremists laying a sexist, misogynist
tripbn us. Do youhate the Government
but have friends who hate all political
bands. Are you an activist, anarchist,
or an apathist?Does it matter?
Anarchy?Most punks agree that it's
the only answer -the hope for survival
in this crazy World; but confusion and
disagreement about what anarchy really
means as an active (or passive)
way to
change this culture and destroy all of
its dangerous power keeps us, the Punk
Underground, split apart and unable to
get anywhere with our manic revolt . We
use the word "
anarchy" so freely, draw-
ing the symbol (A) everywhere, but the
U
.S .Government still holds our fraoile
future in its bloody hands. Our "scene"
is the only real alternative, a motley
bunch of misfits who've built a social
vanguard of radical political and art-
istic attitudes that has so much hard-
core anger, a crazy, zealous rage that
just might deal America a painful blow
where all the hippies, Yippies and New
Left passivactivists only made the Im-
perialist Dog itch a little. But how?
Anarchy is an absence of government,
or it is political disorder, or a con-
flict of opinions; all three describe
our scene, right?Between all the Nazi
punks, commie punts, middleclass punks,
art punks, Zen punks, industrial punks,
surf punks, psychobilly punks, drugged
dunks, week-end punks, old-timer punks
and freshly mohawked newcomers we have
3 weird, wide variety of attitudes and
ideas. . .like, hey, we don't even agree
that there reallyisan exciting scene,
n'ch less a unified cultural and polit-
ical movement . There've been constant,
stupid debates/sermons on the subject.
No one likes people shouting atopsoap
hoes -self-righteaous dogmatics with a
hair up their ass; but what if they're
right?I mean, maybe youexpect to die
young, but do you worry a little, just
a bit, about El Salvador, the ERA (too
late!) and the starving punks in Brixton?
I dunno. Punks are so "right-on", so
intelligent, political and radical, but
w~ don't seemto make much of a dent in
the armor of amoral America. Then again,
even Denz Havoc, self-styled Nazi Punk,
sees some of the problems, saying some
unexpected things. . .

He has the wrong idea . First he sings,

Washington
Pat Boone led some of Washington's best-
known politicians and socialites in gospel
songs at-the Kennedy Center Wednesday night
songs that gave the Concert Hall, at least
temporarily, the air of a Christian revival.
%3oone, who opened his act in a satiny green jacket
with "Heaven" written across the back, sane to the
crowd:
"He's got the president of the United States in his
hand.
Punk patriotism?Armed garage-guer-
illa bands?Territorial Imperative, or
improbable terrorists?His macho brav-
ado almost forgives his political con
fusion. Next, we have some different,
to say the least, ideas fromMikeMani-
avowed Communist . ..
"This scene is a scene of rebellion;
in the sense of rebellion against the
status quo. I think that all people who
want to abolish class distinctions and
exploitation should support this rebel-
lion. Not just say, 'it's alright,' and
let it go at that, but raise people's
consciousness. . .see that it's not just
mindless rebellion. . .to direct it even
higher
. The s%stemhas thrown these kids
into revolt.
"It's time to join the international
movement to prepare for revolution. It
(Marxism) isn't just an armchair philo-
sophy; It's a philosophy of action. It
is okay to rebel . The youth fares auth-
oes wron: have' rofia . I 'tat thou: ht of som
r y romcops, teachers, the economic
system. . .no future. . .teenage suicide Is
the highest
. . .their culture is constant-
ly being attacked. .
.this is the World
they have to fare, and that is why I'm
here."
Manifesto obviously digs the polit-
ical bands and can be seen at many shows
selligq Revolutionary Worker papers an
talking to anyone who doesn't walk awa
fromhimabout Communism, current event
and things like historical dialectics.
Our scene is a melting pot of social
,rejects whose apparent common purpose
is to get fucked-up, freak people out,
destroy the State and (iB possible) die
young in the process
. Some kids work to-
wards a Marxist revolution. Others feel
that staying in bed
' all day is revolting
enough. I dunno. Some work. Some get SSI
and some steal or deal . It doesn't make
any goddamn sense
. I mean, who are we,
and what the hell are we trying to get
done in this sick society?Or amI sick?
Does It Make Any Difference?
I didn't find any answers; punks are
chaotic with their ideas -but something,
keeps us together . Our politics, by de-
finition, are determined by what we, as
a group, do with ourselves: the action,
the state-of-being, the purpose and the
structure of the many different kids who
make upour scene
. No one else wants us,
so we're stuck with each other
. What we
are, what we're gonna do and howwe'll
work together is a mystery. One punk in'
prison, whose letter Is printed on
p.25
sent us a questionnaire that goes over
the whole gamut of punk ethics and es-
thetics. Read his letter, respond to his'
questions (c/o Max R-n-R Box 288 Berk.
CA 94701) and we'll print the results.
Who knows?Maybe it'll do something a-'
bout our alcoholic atrophy, aggressive
antipathy and artistic angst . Act, you
a .athetic assholes!

Our newgovernment, with shoot-'em-up-cowpoke

I~Iil~ ` RonaldReaganand the
"Strangelovean" Alexander Haig
at the helm, proposes to slash the budget, cut taxes and
put an end to World Terrorism
. Foreign aid will be cut,
mostly infood, medical and business support, leaving the
flowof guns and bullets at virtual flood force. Our invest-
ment tipfor today: buy steel; Congress approved $136
billion for Defense in 1981/1982
. Hey, maybe the
400.000 who will lose their CETAjobs could join the Army!
Unemployment and food stamps are being cut back
. Social
Security, legal aid, Medicaid, Educational and Arts &
Humanities programs all face big cuts or elimination
. Only
the "truley needy" need apply
. As the respected
economist Milton Friedman said, "If youpay people to be
poor, , you'regoing toohaveal
lot of poor people. " If you're
old, sick, uneducated and out of work, just lookin the
want-ads! There's lots of jobs

: Being positive a bout things,
Kurt a nd I ca n a gree
. It's like people
ould be in the right direction, but
they're so busy. I wrote a song ca lled
"Religion"
a bout people getting
drugged with politica l bullshit
. I a m
completely a ga inst politics wha tsoever
I'mnot a n a na rchist, not a Rea ga nist,
I'mnot a Buddhist . ..
Ma rk
: Tha t's a religion. ..
Llia m: It's true, it's a ll religion
a nd it's a ll technology. It's a ll
religion. People a re so drugged by
this, people gettin' it a nd doing it
to themselves, a nd fitting into ca te-
gories, a nd we're hungry, a nd a ll we
get is this fuckin' religion. People
a re a positive force if they ca n get
over a ll the bullshit tha t's getting
cra mmed down their throa ts
. Tha t's
wha t's good a bout punk rock . This ba nd
tells people tha t tha t is cra p. We're
not telling people to go out a nd shoot
up drugs or pa int the town.
Kurt
: We're just tryin' to tell people
to figure out wha t's going on.
Ma rk : Wha t's wrong with drugs?
Llia m: Drugs a s fa r a s television.
Fuck, you go to a rest home a nd wha t
do they do? They give a ll the pa tients
drugs so they fuckin' sit a round a nd
zombie out a nd they ca n do wha tever
they wa nt
. Tha t's wha t this country is
it's like a gia nt rest home. . .a nd they
a re getting younger a nd younger . It's
true. The a ge for elderly people is
now sixteen. . .The 14 -yea r olds a re
jumping a round, a nd the 16-yea r olds
a re going, "Yea h ma n
. I'mbeing cool,
I'mwea ring my lea ther. I pa id $15 for
these spikes a nd ha lf my money just
went to ma ke bombs, but I'mcool, I'm
a n a na rch- . . ." Uh-Unh. They're Elderly,
They're a ll ta king their pills.
Rea ga n's got thema ll in their wheel-
cha irs, right where he wa nts them.
MRR : Do you ha ve a nything to sa y a bout
the Fa lkla nds or the wa rs in the Mid-
dle Ea st?
Ronny : It's not a wa r. There' s only
going to be one wa r to end a ll wa rs.
It's just politica l bullshit.
Kurt
: It's so we ca n get used to see-
ing something like this in the pa per.
When we go in somewhere, we won't be
outra ged. People a re going to sa y,
"Oh yea h, it's just a nother one of
those," a nd we're going to get our-
selves into the sa me thing. You see it
in the hea dlines a s you're wa lking
down the street.
Llia m: It's more drugs. Get used to
this, get used to this.
Ma rk : Politics a re fighting the wa r
there. Not people, politics.
MRR : Ma rk, why do you continue to pla y
in two ba nds? I know it's enjoya ble,
but wha t else?
la rk : It's only one ba nd a nd a bowling
tea m. I used to live in the suburbs
a bout 6 or so yea rs a go a nd I sta rted
listening to punk music a nd listening
to the lyrics. It wa s something so new
to me a nd it fit my persona lity. I wa s
the only one tha t I knew who liked it
a nd everybody wa s tota lly a ga inst it,
which ma de me like' it ever) more. Then
I sta rted listening more a nd listening
to the words
. I' ma rea lly hyper per-
son, a nd I like rea l fa st loud music -
I a lwa ys ha ve - so I've just been fol-
lowing it ever since a nd now I'mdoing

"A
man that should call everything
by its right name would hardly pass
the streets without being knocked
down as a common enemy
."
George Saville,
17th century philosopher-statesman
A truism and a warning, but one that
I will not heed
. In this section, all
the reviewers will risk the status of
"common enemy" by being as honest as
possible and attempting to call every-
thing by its right name, no matter how
painful that may be for the parties in
question
. Stepping on toes is an occu-
pational hazard for a critical reviewer:
so if you're looking for sycophancy or
payola, read Creem and Rolling Stone.
We've never been timid or subtle on the
MAXIMUM ROCK'n'ROLL radio show, and I
see no reason to change just because we
are now operating in the medium of print .
There, don't say I did not warn you
in
advance.
Since this is our first issue,I guess
it's my responsibility as review editor
to clarify our review policy
. We will
be covering records, demo tapes, live
concerts, films, books and anything else
we deem interesting enough to waste ef-
fort and space on
. To avoid inducing
boredom, the format will normally con-
sist of numerous short reviews rather
than a few in-depth pieces (though there
may be occasional exceptions if some-
thing really grabs us)
. This approach
suits our volatile personalities better
and will hopefully enable us to strike
a balance between the tedious intellec-
tual masturbation that currently passes
for conventional pop journalism and the
typical "yeah, wow, fuckin' cool" fan-
zine style.
Brevity is especially necessary in the
case of recorded music, because the num-
5er of worthy new releases makes it Im-
possible to consider many at length with-
out neglecting scores of others . Hence,
our goal is to cover lots of territory
and give exposure to as many good hands
as possible
. Why waste a page overana-
lyzing the latest Joy Division release
when you can cover 20 new Indies in the
same space?
At this point, I '
d like to define some
commonly-used descriptive categories for
various subgenres of punk music
. Most
punks will already be aware of the dis-
tinctions between these categories (al-
though they often overlap in practice),
but since this magazine is intended to
bridge the gap between political people
unfamiliar with punk culture and punks
unfamiliar with political realities, it
is necessary to define them for the for-
mer's benefit.
1) Thrash punk
: ultra fast 2- or 3-
chord rock with screamed vocals, often
with political themes.
2)
'77 or "classical" punk: mid-tempo
but still very fast by conventional rock
standards) 2-or 3- chord rock with sung
or screamed vocals, often containing
catchy choruses and political themes.
3) Garage punk
: raunchyprimitive rock
with sneering vocals, often with humor-
ous or just plain stupid themes ; akin
to 60's punk rock.
4) "01" or skinhead punk : relatively
slow or mid-tempo 2 or 3-chord rock, with
raw sandpaper vocals and soccer-chant
choruses.
5) Heavy Metal (HM) punk
: slow to mid-
tempo punk with HM chord progressions and
relatively long guitar solos based on
blues riffs.
6) Punky pop : pop melodies backed with
heavily distorted ("punk") guitars,
often featuring vocal harmonies, hook-
laden choruses, and typical teenage
themes.
7) Post-punk : a term originally ap-
plied to more experimental derivations
of punk ; it now encompasses a broad range
of styles from abrasive noise with heavy
rhythms to sophisticated forms of pop
to many varieties of "progressive" and
art-damage music .
Two other often-used terms deal with
content rather than musical style
. "Pol-
itical punk" obviously refers to punk of
any musical variety thathasa political
theme
. In the punk context, this gener-
ally implies an anarchist or leftist
perspective . "Funnypunk" is punk of
any
type that has overtlysatirical or goofy
lyrics
. Needless to say, these terms are
intended merely as guideposts to simoli-
fy description, not as descriptions per
se.
That's it for the boring introductions

U .S.
Everyone familiar with alternativ
musical developments knows that we are
in the midst of a renewed explosion of
punk culture, one that is unprecedented
in size and scope
. It is happening every-
where in the industrialized West, but
currently its most vital manifestatio
is right here in the U
.S . The America
hardcore scene has developed a much
stronger political conscience in the
last two years, and the music it has
produced Is generally more frenetic and
intense than that of its international
counterparts
. I say this without the
slightest degree of patriotic sentiment,
but only to counteract the deep-seated
feeling of those who have been brain-
washed into believing that English rock
and roll is inherently superior . That
may have been true in 1977, but It sure
as hell isn't in 1982 . Moreover, as con-
ditions in the U .S . worsen -as they un-
doubtedly will under the
. Reagan admin-
istration -we can expect American punk
to get even better in the forseeable
future.

Greg Prevost and company again come through with

authentic feel, so much so that I'm actually remin-

CHILD MOLESTORS - "

"
EP
Cover your ears, the CHILD MOLESTORS have been res-
urrected! The band that brought you "I ' m the
Hillside
Strangler"
is back, at least on vinyl
. This material,
originally recorded in 1978, is like the movie Plan
Nine from Outer Space- it has enormous appeal pre-
cisely because it ' s so awful
. With titles like "I'm
Gonna Punch you in the Face" and the most amateur
musicianship imaginable, I've got to recommend it.

CODE OF HONOR/SICK PLEASURE - LP
Glad S .P
. bit the dust, this being a posthumous
release- too H
.M . for my taste, with lyrics of equal
mentality . CODE OF HONOR side is much better- still
traces of metal (Mike Fox being guitarist in both
bands) but the thrash cuts are tight, with inter-
esting variations
. Jonithin Christ's (ex-SOCIETY
DOG) lyrics and vocals make all the difference here-
he '
s graduated from nihilism to advocacy of peace,
unity, and political action . (TY)

CRAP DETECTORS - Superficial World LP
Jim Jacobi, one of the American indie pioneers of
the late 70 '
s, has come up with an eclectic mixture
in this new incarnation of his CRAP DETECTORS
. An
underlying intelligence is evident throughout this
album, but the music, which ranges from garage punk
to garage reggae ("Phenominal Technical
" ), is only
sporadically engaging . (JB)

DA - "Time Will be Kind" 12" EP
EFFIGIES - "Body Bag/Security"
I normally hate HM punk, but the EFFIGIES do it so
well that categories become meaningless. "Bodybag"
is appealingly
straightforward while "Security" has
a dance-oriented beat with layers of metallic guitar
and an occasional dubbed vocal . The production here
doesn't compare with their earlier EP, but they do
include some hilariously uninformed literature about
punk rock by right-wing (U .S . Labor Party) and left-
wing (Progressive Labor) retards . (JB)

FARTZ - "Because this Fuckin' World Stinks " EP
My favorite release of 1981, and that's saying a lot
given the quality of the competition
. The FARTZ thrash
so hard and fast that they leave most hardcore bands
behind in a cloud of dust, but they still manage to
exercise a lot of brainpower . This EP is as intelli-
gent, frenetic, and intense as any you ' re likely to
hear, so get it now before it's out of print
. (JB)
(Fartz-3915 S .W . Lander-Seattle, WA 98116
The hype surrounding FLIPPER has already reached
nauseating proportions, and I have no intention of
adding to it . If you ' re downed out, you ' ll like their
abrasive slow numbers and if you ' re straight-edge,
you ' ll probably prefer the fast abrasive tracks
( "Living for the Depression, " "Nothing" ) that they sel-
dom do these days
. FLIPPER was much better back when
this albun was recorded, before they started taking
themselves too seriously . After all, any joke - no mat-
ter how effective - ceases to be amusing if it's told
too often . (JB)

Mediocre 77-style punk, including one song ( "White

ways to act out his insecurities and aggression in

. Even if the singer is English, and he'd

parts when they
' re from a state known for superior

ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT - "Future Girl/No Trust"
Standard UK punk, slow and passionless . "Future

Girl" has a unique intro and a cool 60's guitar break,

ZIPPERS - "I'm in Love" Mini LP
British Weakness Draws Attack
U
.K.
I'm not all that impressed with cur-
rent Britpunk . There are loads of new
English releases, but most of them lack
ferocity or originality . This is not
meant as a blanket condemnation, only
as a general observation . There are some
incredible UK groups, but they can eas-
ily get lost in the shuffle of unorig-
inal material ,a situation which is par-
tially attributable to the uncritical
attitude adopted by people like Giry
Bushell.
This is an accepted hart of
the English masochistic
life"

BLITZ - "Never Surrender/Razors in the Night"
The best of the "skunk" bands comes up with a

A must . (JB)

A better recorded 11-song follow-up to their first

SPECIAL DUTIES - "Police State" EP
The third 7" from one of my favorite Oi bands.
Though their amazingly gruff vocals and speedy
tempo again lift them above the usualfare, none of
these tracks is as irresistably catchy as "Violent
Society . " (JB)
SUBHUMANS - "Big City" EP
"Big City" is a really outstanding
with a ' 77-style chorus
. The rest is generic English
punk rock.

TOTAL CHAOS - "There are no Russians in Afghanistan
"
An oddball release from a new funnypunk group
featuring brilliant satire ("
No Russians" ) and a
snarling song sans guitars and bass ("Revolution
#10")
. Atypical and recommended for that reason.

. Real fast stan-
dard punk throughout, none too original,but better
than most

Depressing . Once a great guitar-heavy pop band,
RUDI has now resorted to sickening keyboards . Just
because the UNDERTONES added strings doesn't mean

RUDIMENTARY PENI - "Teenage Time Killer

One of the truly magnificent records of 1981,
which inexplicably received almost no media atten-
tion. 12 thrash garage tunes (a new subgenre) like
the best of the MEAT PUPPETS, but with political
themes
. It's really too great for words, so get it
if you can find it.

This section includes releases from
Canada, continental Europe, Scandinavia,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa (! ),
Mexico and anywhere else
. This section
will invariably be smaller than the oth-
ers, mainly because records from these
areas are poorly distributed and we often
have trouble getting ahold of them
. I`ve
liked a
lot of what I have heard, but I
can not do much unless more people send
us copies to review . Please contact us!
A band that's really deteriorated since their first
two EPs
. This new one, though not as bad as its
immediate predecessor, barely halts the downward
spiral
. Beki seems bent on taking the same route as
Siouxie, and the band appears content to follow
lamely along
. Only "Tomorrow's Soldier" packs a
real wallop because of its straightforward nature
and louder guitars
. (JB)
(Riot City)
VIOLATORS - "Gangland/The Fugitive "
Whether you call this slow punk or fast post-punk,
it's got a certain flare
. The buzzing guitars in
"Fugitive" are attention getting, and the melody
line sticks in your head . Give it a listen . (JB)
(No Future)
Manic thrash punk with gravelly Oi singing . With
its speed and intensity, this is probably the best
record yet from Sweden
. They thank BLACK FLAG, the
DEAD KENNEDYS, DISORDER, and Dischord Records on
their info sheet, which should give you some idea
of their influences . (JB)
(Malign Massacre-Box 9004-Uppsala 9-Sweden)
Possibly the fastest thrash garage punk ever re-
corded
. So fast that the music cannot be structur-
ally confined and sometimes degenerates into total
noise . Some might think it ' s too fast, but I really
like the NEOS
'
combination of aural chaos and poli-
tical conscience
. (JB)
