DAILY RECORDS: Record Review Haiku

by | Sep 28, 2010 | MUSIC

World Burns To Death/Slang – Split EP (Prank Records)
The humanity!
All bullshit torn asunder,
Never relenting.

Negative Approach – Friends Of No One (Taaang Records)
If you have to ask,
You’re prob’ly never get it.
Worst cover art though.

Brain Handle – Smiling/Smiling Again (Iron Lung Records)
Seething Rust Belt angst,
Bowing deep at Ginn’s altar.
Alas, too damn short.

Marked Men – On/The Other Side (540 Records)
Curs’d disparity!
A killer and a phone-in.
No apex, no waste.

Vaccine – Human Hatred (Painkiller Records)
Splenetic fury,
Weaned on teats of indignance
And Infest records.

Canadian Rifle – Facts (Residue Records)
Like Naked Raygun,
Crimpshrine, Snuff? I sure’s hell don’t.
These guys kick ass though.

Manipulation – s/t (Fashionable Idiots Records)
No toes stubbed here on
The stumbling block of cliché.
Careening discord.
