W.A.B. shoots against the rock ‘n’ roll establishment

W.A.B. comeback with a new music video. “…and kill the worms” feature a controversial cover with the recently deceased Keith Flint, Prodigy vocalist, and is accompanied by the manifesto “Kill the old rockers! Kill the worms”, where they attack a rotten scene that has lost its essence and doesn’t know how to renew itself.

There’s no future in rock ‘n’ roll. With the passage of time we see what it has become and make us want to vomit: old glories that lost their essence long time ago but they never left; others who come back to drag their old asses one more time; tribute bands everywhere… and in the middle of this cult to the past young people are begging to play live!
In the big gigs posters there is a small print which says: “If you are 20 years old, there’s no room for you here”. The new bands are small multifunctional entities that have to take on the role of band, label, booking, promotion, merchandising, producer, and I don’t know how many more things, to end up seeing how the outdated artists are still up there due to the name of their brand and other intricacies that have nothing to do with the essence of rock ‘n’ roll.
Do the current Metallica, Misfits, Discharge, Guns N Roses, Exploited, or Slayer represent anything like that? Or our nearest case, La Polla Records, that seem to be the next to join this geriatric parade. To us, they are only just rancid trying to emulate a past of rebellion that lost long time ago. Those rock dictators are still there after 40 years entrenched on their comfortable armchair, and we would like to remind our sleeping generation that the dictators must be smashed with the guns in hand.
Don’t kill imagination! If the past was better, it’s because now we insist on not living in the present. In the eighties, people didn’t say “the 60s were better”. NO! They said: “Let’s do better than them”. That’s attitude! That’s Rock n Roll!
The current world tells us that we should wait until we are 40 years old to say what we want, but we don’t want to wait. We are 20 years old and we have something to shout NOW!
IT’S TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, TO DECLARE WAR ON THE OLD GUARD. IT’S TIME TO KILL THE WORMS!

 

(record review)Drug Apts-Clean Living Under Difficult Circumstances

Drug Apts are punk band from Sacramento and they play mesmerizing, a bit different prog version of punk with no boundaries between the underground subgenres, I listened and reviewed their new record for our zine.

I must admit that I have never heard of this band prior to this record and when I was a kid about 20 years ago I would puke while listening to this record and throw it somewhere in the garbage bin. Now, things are very different, I learned to appreciate something new added to the mix. These 12 songs are unique because all of them, each song individually sounds different than the next one. The music is basically punk, but there are a lot of noise, rock n roll, psychodelia and even sludge influences in the songs.

The overall feeling that you get while listening to the songs is one of utter blackness, nightmarish feeling that you just can`t get out of the kind of void you have fallen into while playing this record. The singer is singing nice melodies at one moment, only to growl and scream and whisper at the next. This album is definitely not for everyone, but if you are not a strict scene purist give this one a try, maybe you`ll be surprised.
