BULLET TREATMENT / THE NIPPLES
"split 7"
Limited Edition red vinyl
(br-032)

With BULLET TREATMENT building such a strong underground cult following they continue to release things at an alarming rate. The self-proclaimed band that doesn't exist (read the bio on the website for an in depth look at this twisted punk rock family) has thrown together a couple of rare tracks for this split. "It's A Setup" (unreleased track) is a little different from their traditional style hardcore and may bare comparisons to BAD RELIGION or DAG NASTY. The second track is a sped up blaring version of the DESCENDENTS "I'm Not A Punk". The 3rd song "Jose Molina From West Covina" was recently recorded at one of their rare shows at the House Of Blues in Anaheim, CA. in Oct. 2004. Watch for more Bullet Treatment releases very soon. Now on the other hand if you are not familiar with THE NIPPLES and their brash yet very realistic and down to earth approach you are truly missing out on one of America's last true Punk Rock Bands. Think along the lines of THE ADICTS, STALAG 13, RAMONES, DESCENDENTS and SCREECHING WEASEL. They've managed to cram together 4 tracks on one side of this 7". That alone should give you some insight to their world. The first track "I Hate Being First" is a sample track from their first full length release "Filthy Lyrics, Happy Kids". The second track, is the very controversial song "Time To Assassinate Fat Mike". Thirdly, "Dreadful Hour" is an unrleased song recorded live during the Filthy Lyrics sessions. And last but of certainly not least is the follow up to the smash single Attack of the Garbage Pail Kids...... "Return of the Garbage Pail Kids" (featuring the Happy Kids Choir).

REVIEW:
"Punkety punk punk, punk in all its glory, punk that will make you want to stick safety pins in places you wouldn't even stick your finger. I love punk, I love bands named after parts of the body. I love bands named after violent forms of torture, I just love punk. What can I say: I'm a sucker for bands that hate the establishment. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see the youth of America shave off sections of their hair and spray up what's left. I love curse words, drugs, alcohol, sex, violence, and oddly crocheting, but forget that, we are not talking about that now, we are talking about punk. Punety punk, punk, I love punk, and if you love punk as much as I do then buy this album. Really, do I need to tell you what it sounds like, so buy it, and for gods sake, numb it with an ice cube before you cram the pin through it!"
