Punk collection

Brutality. That's the word I'd use to describe this album. Utter brutality. From start to end this album skins you alive and screams in your ear loud enough to cause permanent loss of hearing.

Although longer and more varied than past F Minus albums, this is without any doubt their best. Most of the songs are what you'd expect from an F Minus album- raw, thrashing and fast as hell. Brad's gravel like voice mixed with Erika's throat tearing yell (which makes Brody Armstrong look like Britney Spears) propel the band over music as punishing as the lyrics. Lyrically this album is similar to the others, dealing with anger, anomie, violence and politics. Many people had labeled this album as "slower" than the rest, that's just false. First off, there are some songs that have a "heavier" tempo and last longer, but those one's ended up being my favorites on the record. Songs like "Wake Up Screaming", "Sweating Blood", "Not This Time", "From Here", and "Survival" are trademark, blistering F Minus. A couple of the songs play at a heavier, longer pace and really give the band a chance to show that they CAN play a song over 2 minutes long AND play it well! Brad get's his shot at it in "Mother Of Suffer"and, my personal favorite "Here Lies Jessica". Erika REALLY shines on the brutal "A Transformation". The latter 2 songs moving along at a chugging pace slightly faster than, say, side 2 of Black Flag's "My War". The album closes itself with the most ferocious and ear splitting song this band (or almost any band for that matter) has ever produced- "Barking Dog", I'm sure that both Erika and Brad sing on this song, but most of the time they are screaming so hard that you can't tell which is which. The scream until their throats become coarse, Erika actually screams until her throat actually gives out on a her a couple times. It's amazing.

This album more than earns it's 10. Definitely a surprise, not that I wasn't expecting it to be good, but just not incredible....which is what it is, purely an experiance which must be had from start to finish. The album plays almost like a single, long, brutal assault on the senses. Get this thing. Best thing to ever come out of Hellcat. --PunkNews

Raw and simple, the Fartz owe more of a musical debt to Discharge than they do to their peers in the USA. Blaine and co. rip through 16 tracks of pissed off hardcore punk, only stopping for their drummer Loud Fart to count off 19 (most bands stick with 1-2-3-4). The only downside is that this is a little too simple at times, although it's not for lack of trying. The music is energetic and Blaine spits out the lyrics with disgust and spite (not ignoring Darby, I think this is where Jerry A got his influence). My favorite part is when he sings (if you could call it that) "Battle Hymn of Ronald Reagan" - it's so bad, it's great!--CHRIS[KFTH]

If THE FARTZ aren't the greatest hardcore band of all time, the kings of noize and mayhem, then they certainly are within spitting distance of the throne. After reforming four years ago (and reinstating meaning into this harsh existence) the band has d us with re-releases and re-recordings of their classic tunes but, until now, they hadn't upped the ante and released an album of all new tunes. There was no doubt the band still had it but until 'Injustice' hit the streets a question remained as to how much they still had. Well I'm here, like an oversexed TV evangelist, to proclaim to the world that the second coming of THE FARTZ will save the souls of countless punks across the globe. I couldn't help but wonder why the band took four years to release this album but now that I hear it, it is obvious.

They wanted to build up a full head of steam and make sure that their chops were as solid as the day they originally went their separate ways in 1983. 'Injustice' is so unbridled and ferocious it sounds as if it was recorded at the band's peak in the early 80s... it's almost as if they never went away. I'm giddy, that's right I said GIDDY, about this album. We might want to just declare 2002 over and move onto 2003 because this album is going to be the album of the year for every punk still drawing breathe (and it may even bring a few not drawing breathe back to life). --InMusicWeTrust

9 tracks of blistering hardcore punk ferocity from Wales. The Cowboy Killers sound like the UK lost at birth siblings of America's Dead Kennedys. Includes an awesome cover of THE FEEDERZ "Jesus Entering From The Rear" which provides even more of a connection to the DK's as the covered track original appeared on Jello Biafra's label Alternative Tentacles on the compilation "Let Them Eat Jellybeans".

If I were to compile a list of the most underrated punk rock albums ever, Independence, the first of many full length records to come from hardcore punk band Toxic Reasons, would be at number one. Independence was originally released in 1982, although it has been rereleased a few times on various record labels, most recently on Beer City Records in 2001. I was lucky enough to get both the CD and LP versions of the 2001 rerelease for free when the band's guitar player Bruce gave them to me when I interviewed him about his experiences, but that is a completely different story. I am here to tell you about Independence.

Independence features eleven tracks of relatively original hardcore. On this album, Toxic Reasons successfully combines three distinct hardcore styles; fast and loud American hardcore, melodic Canadian hardcore, and anthemic British hardcore. DOA was a tremendous influence on Toxic Reasons and this particular album bears strong resemblance to the DOA /Subhumans style of HC. The album also sounds a little bit like '80s UK punk (i.e. The Exploited), but not in a bad way. Thirdly, Independence sounds a lot like Bad Brains, mostly because of its adherence to a steady rhythm and tempo which gives it the chugga chugga sound which we've all heard (or at least I hope to God you've heard) on the self titled Bad Brains. And if that's not enough 'Brains influence, there's even a reggae track titled "Ghost Town"! What is surprising about Independence is that it is so derivative yet it also manages to be original. Lyric-wise, Independence is mostly political; the band deals with the total ~lol~ of American patriotism, urban decay, and the continuing Cold War. Some of the lyrics are just rockingly hardcore (I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing) - "Noise Boys" for example; "Is it loud enough or do you want some more? / I told you once that we weren't wimps, we're born to be hard-core / And now that we've got our amps maxed out on ten / do you think that you'll ever ever ever come and see us again?"

Independence is undoubtedly required listening for any punk rock enthusiast. Musically, it rocks and rolls with a good fast, yet steady tempo, loud guitars, and gruff vocals. It has pretty solid, if less than brilliant lyrics, and I would contend that the content of the lyrics remain relevant today. As I said earlier, Independence is a good bet for any hardcore fan.--NotSoPop

Hardcore Punk from the midwest .The band started in 1979 with Bruce Stuckey, Mark Patterson, Joel Agne and Ed Pittman Originally from Dayton, OH. after recording our first single "War Hero" and being banned from every bar in Dayton, we played several midwest regional punk rock shows including a Rock Against Reagan show in Detroit that hooked us up once again with our hardcore heros "D.O.A". Ed Pittman made headlines after the show in Detriot burning the stuffed cymbal of the rebublican party in effigy. D.O.A invited us boys to come out and play in vancouver. Joel Agne left the band and The Delinquents' Guitar player, Rob Lucjac joined the Toxic's as roadie ( basically an apprenticeship program until he could learn all of the songs, on guitar) Mainly influenced by D.O.A's "road dog" touring work ethic, Toxic's loaded up the van and went out to Vancouver, B.C Canada to play with D.O.A & the DK's. for one show. The show was huge!! Bruce made The front page Of The Vancouver Sun, and that was it!!! we were in it for the long haul!!!--band's myspace

Stuckley started the band in Dayton, Ohio - 1979. At that point he was playing bass, Joel Agne was on guitar, Mike Patteson played drums, and Ed Pittman was the lead singer. This line-up only stuck around long enough to record a two-song single, 1980's War Hero 7".--KFTH

War Hero was released on Banit Records 1980. This is their FIRST release and VERY RARE , (ONLY 500 COPIES ! ) . It is also the only recording with the "Original" lineup of Ed Pittman on vocals,Joel Agne on guitar & vocals,Bruce Stuckey,bass & vocals,and Mark Patterson on drums.

Mainly influenced by D.O.A's "road dog" touring work ethic, Toxic Reason loaded up the van and went out to Vancouver, B.C Canada to play with D.O.A & the Dead Kennedys. for one show. The show was huge!! Bruce made The front page Of The Vancouver Sun, and that was it!!! we were in it for the long haul!!! After minor altercations with Ed Pittman, Mark Patterson decided that the touring life was not for him, so he went back to Dayton. Enter 16 year old, Jimmy-Joe Pearson. A punk kid from vancouver with decent chops on the drums alla Chuck Biscuits. We jammed a few times, Played a show at Vancouver's answer to San Francisco's "Fab Mab", "The Smilin' Buddha" We were set. With shows booked up and down the coast with the likes of Dead Kennedys, Back Flag, Flipper & T.S.O.L we headed out on our first west coast tour finishing with the recording of our second single, "Ghost Town" (Produced by DK's East Bay Ray). We went out again on what would end up being a full year tour living on the kindness of strangers, bean burritos and mothering rock chics... later, back in the midwest while recording " --band's myspace

The Ghost Town Ep released in 1981 was their first release on Risky. It was recorded at Army Street Studios in San Francisco,and produced by East Bay Ray of the Dead Kennedys.

In 1991 Selfless Records did a really cool Toxic Reasons 7″ that contained select songs from a 1980 gig with the original Ed Pitman (ie. “Independence“) line-up. It’s hard for me to grasp the fact that 1991 was 15 years ago, much less the recording date being 26; it seems like it was just yesterday (as the saying goes.)

There were 1,000 of these made and 50 copies came as a double 7″ with both B/sides being blank (as in Bad Religion’s “Back To The Known”, shiny blank.) It would have been great if there was something “extra” there but I love special packaging and always thought this was one of the coolest ideas ever. Something only a true geek would spend the extra time, effort and cash to do. Incidentally, these 50 copies were all sent to Bruce Stucky to sign and number but for some reason he thought there were 55 and numbered them as such. I guess he figured it out when he got to #50. There were also 80 copies that didn’t have a B/side label and one that had no labels at all.

There’s two covers and two originals here; I *think* the originals are otherwise unreleased and they’re both quite good, have a listen.--PunkRecords
