Fear – Have Another Beer With Fear [ADB]

1995 Fear Records, and it has 16 songs. These bands are one of the best examples of a old punk band coming back in the 1990s. An anomaly in this band is that they have a black guy in the band. All the parts of this band are great, with excellent vocals and great audible bass, and best of all, funny as hell, sexist lyrics. The songs are very catchy…

The Fallen – Sector 7G [ADB]

Self Released, 1999, 3 song demo. This 4 piece band from California is a kick ass metal band. They can be best described as thrash/death metal, and they’re songs are very catchy and will make you mosh. Typical great guitars with unintelligible vocals that make the whole genre good. They do a little it of symphonic metal, and then just rock balls out. The fallen are very talented, and they…
