Diarrhea Planet - Not Grandfather Approved

Someone in Nashville got ticked off at this.

Get this. A punk rock band, from Nashville, Tennessee, with four guitars. Sound checks just got a whole lot more fun. (Going forward, highly suggested that all bands have four guitars.)

Animals Sell Part 2 - Frantic: Attaque of the Grizzlie

Case in point. This dude was holding a kitten, so I bought his record. Frantic's Attaque of the Grizzlie full length (Douche Master Records / Die Slaughterhaus) is a rampage of early Adolescents influenced garage / hardcore punk. I knew nothing / still don't know much about this (now defunct) band, but took a chance at a record store. The 12-song LP is a playground for distorted reverb, features a Government Issue cover and should be played loud at all times.

My decision making skills are class A.
