Review: Abusements - "Feelin' Cheated?/Sex Cult" "Space Nazis/Florida Man" Review
Punk-rock
that is snotty, fast, fun as hell, and smart. Don't get me wrong.
This isn't music that makes ya think. This is music for folks that
are tired of thinking. We know things are fucked-up and the world is
silly so let's bounce around to take our minds off of it. Or, more
specifically, let's make fun of it. Let's poke a stick at it. Singles
like "Feelin' Cheated?/Sex Cult" and "Space
Nazis/Florida Man" are hilarious sing-a-long danceable ditties
that are hard for any self-disrespecting mohawk sticker-upper to
ignore. As for which 45 is the essential purchase, I gotta go with
"Space Nazis". Both songs are hilarious and just made to
blast at the neighbors. The good news is that their upcoming
full-length, IRRITAINMENT!, is shaping up to be ever better! Check
out the promo vid for that album's "Troll Farm" for further
proof! -Harmless
