BULLET TREATMENT / IT'S CASUAL
"Split 7"
cd
(br-047)

The newest incarnation of Bullet Treatment features members of INSTED, VULTURES UNITED & THE ICARUS LINE. While maintaining an edge unmatched with consistent line-up changes, these two new tracks from Bullet Treatment will not leave anything to your imagination. If you're familiar with their previous material you better bet your ass you're goin to get the same So Cal hardcore you've been accustomed to. The track "Law Of Observation" has already been receiving heavy air play on XM satellite radio, as well as play on BBC Radio One Punk Show, and many college stations across the country. It's Casual are hot off the heals of a very successful run of tour dates with FU MANCHU, TOTIMOSHI, & HIGH ON FIRE. This is angry, old school punk with heavy distortion. It’s Casual have added to history of West Coast hardcore with these two fire-breathing tracks. They are clearing its own path of destruction one show at a time. With recent press runs in Thrasher Magazine & LA Weekly this release finds the band more focused than ever, w/ its hard-hitting, riff-packed hardcore punk/metal delivery that rubs shoulders w/ the best of Black Flag, Fu Manchu, Motorhead & Bl'ast.

REVIEW:
Four track 7" fulla ripping, old-skull hardcore. Opens with two head-smackers from LA's own Bullet Treatment, who play the same sorta eviction-party wreck n' roll you might remember from watching that grainy VHS bootleg of Decline over and over back in high school. "Bride and the Wolf" is pure '82 mayhem, whereas "Law of Observation" tosses a little rock n' roll slither into the mix before it explodes into a barrage of unholy terror. Flip it over, and you get a double-shot of Its Casual, a long-running two-man LA destructo-machine that sounds not unlike Motorhead chair-wrestling with Henry Rollins. Both bands offer up plenty of high-speed thrills and vintage punk rock psychosis, so if you dig it raw and halfway homicidal, then it's on. - SLEAZEGRINDER
