The Suicide Machines – Live Live Live / Definition of Destruction [ADB]

Ahh….the ever popular poser band The Suicide Machines. I know i am going to piss off the legions of their fans, but i thought TSM are mediocre punk that just to get famous, put horns in their band. All their songs start off good, but then it just goes into bad 3rd wave ska. The only indication that i have heard that TSM are good are 2 songs, one off…

Stadden’s Bridge – S/T [ADB]

10 songs on Army Ant Records in 99. Aside from the sickening religious liner notes, the band is pretty cool. I have been able to see these guys live a few times, and they kick ass. “Wishful Thinking” sounds like a song fit for 120 minutes with an excellent groove and a sound like the Crash Test Dummies with 70s country. Excellent song to start out the disc out with,…
