So many obstacles in the way of making their sound work, and yet Weird TV thrive in the seedy underbelly so few explore with ferocity, hitting on Bleach and a simple-stupid approach to punk. Right out of the gate, you get the Spanish SHRIEKS from a female Choking Victim, and it hurts so good. No, really; they sound like they might be damaging the person producing them. But that’s for god to worry about, right? We just need to get what we can out of it. A lot of questionable melodies will send a few folks running, so that’s your call. I think the good outweighs the bad, though you could argue for an all-scream, all-in approach. But hey, this ain’t a fuckin’ debate. I’m just trying to down as many Steel Reserves as I can before the sun rises. I’m glad to hear a record like this come out in the first place, laid bare as it is. Is it maybe okay to pine for the punk of the late 1990s? NO, but we shouldn’t rule out pushing things forward.
