In the punk rock tradition of Black Flag
and Circle Jerks, "Radio Baghdad" hit with breakneck
speed and muddy distortion on this their third release. Garnishing
much respect in Europe on Friendly Cow Records, the band is set
to release "665: Neighbor Of The Beast" (and what a
great name) on One Foot Records in hopes to finally get some
attention on U.S. Shores. After all, they are home town boys
(south, FL).
Kicking off with "No Resurrection,"
"Radiobaghdad" hit hard and fast, leaving little time
to ponder before the next track hits. Blinding the listener with
pure energy and power, and infecting the mind with catchy, anarchy
ridden vocals, it's just too easy to like this band.
"Promises" and "My Bong!
My War!" are personal favorites, but just about everything
on this record is pretty cool. The key to this one is to not
approach it as a high brow radio affected punk record. Caveat
Emptor, this is true punk. Down and dirty in your face and ready
and willing to kick your ass.
