BULLET TREATMENT
"Dead Are Walking"
Limited Multi-colored Vinyl 7" (including Orange,
Purple, Green, Splattered & the rarest of them all.....Tan
Vinyl)
(br-037)
The newest release from the ever-changing
entity known as BULLET TREATMENT
features the usual loud, kick ass, pedal to the medal
hardcore punk rock you won't find anywhere else. Unbelievably
these guys manage to keep releasing quality records
while consistently rotating the band members. At last
count there has been upwards of 20 some people to take
part in the B.T. project. The newest line-up has captured
4 songs that pick up right where the last two highly
publicized "What More Do You Want" & "The Bigger, The
Better" e.p.'s left off. This time Bullet Treatment
has stretched out yet again aquiring their first female
vocalist, Ms. Liza Graves of CIVET (Disaster
Records). Dave H. of THE DRIPS (White Drugs)
reprises his role behind the drum kit as does the brain
child of this project Chuck tackling Bass duties this
time out insted of his more familiar role of guitar.
Speaking of which taking over guitar duties is Chris
from the VOIDS (Dr. Strange Records). 4 new unreleased
tracks, make sure to keep an eye out for these
limited records as they will be gone very quickly.
REVIEW:
"On this four-song taste from the ever transmogrifying
Bullet Treatment, the band's musical chairs take a new
twist, and a coalescing Bullet Supergroup springs into
action, comprising the following elements -- First,
there's the new addition on vocals, Ms. Liza Graves,
star (frontwoman) of Civet. Then, there's Chris of the
Voids who takes over on guitar on this record. Bullet
Treatment guru Chuck D. lays low on the low end, while
Dave H. (of The Drips) returns on drums, driving the
band with his ever-ringing thunder beat. So is Bullet
Treatment going soft? F*** No, Wake Up! They'll eat
you alive! On wax, Ms. Liza Graves has the raw, heavy
smoker vocal thing down pat, and pulls off the "naked
chicks with guns" act without a hitch on the striking
cover art. Like all the promo literature says, this
band is all about the "American Hardcore" style that
existed briefly in the 20th century before any metal
influence integrated / infiltrated into the punk rock
sound. This record is missing a bar code, meaning that
in the world of numerically arranged lists of every
record, tape, CD, DVD, book, and publication released
in 2006, the Dead Are Walking EP won't even exist. This
is a shame because, whether it's missing from the global
register of Universal Product Codes or not, bar code
or no, this will be one of the year's great punk records."
