BIO: Now here's a band that's a little bit different from everyone else. There are no permanent members, no main vocalist, no big shot rock star, no egos, just a bunch of guys who get together and have fun. The line-up changes on just about every release, and there's never the same guys on stage. Whoever is available at that time is in the band. Bullet Treatment has included members of CUT SHALLOW, THE VOIDS, GRAVE FOR THE FIREFLIES, CIVET, RF7, SPIDER, ROCK KILLS KID, THE DRIPS, THE BRONX, DAREDEVILS & more. In no way do they pretend to be "original", or do they try to be some "new" style of punk. They pretty much sound exactly like all the bands that they like.... THE RAMONES, BAD RELIGION, MISFITS, 7 SECONDS, CIRCLE JERKS, ANGRY SAMOANS, TSOL, MINOR THREAT, & BAD BRAINS !!!!

ALSO AVAILABLE:
"Dead Are Walking" 7"
"The Bigger, The Better" 7"
"Split 7" w/ The Nipples" 7"
"What More Do You Want?" cd
"Furious World 4-way split" cd

REVIEWS:
"THE MISTAKE" 12" - "The Dischord and SST Records hardcore ethos collide via savage synchronicity on East L.A.-based Bullet Treatment's latest effort. A fabulously furious assault of both East and West Coast punchy punk adolescence, Bullet Treatment isn't just a mere throwback to the halcyon days of circle pits at CBGB. Sporting an experienced roster - including Bronx vocalist Matt Caughthran - and an album that tears through its track listing at a largely blistering pace ("Hand in Hand"), Bullet Treatment proves there's simply no mistake to be found." - MEAN STREET MAGAZINE

"DEAD ARE WALKING" 7" - "The hardcore juggernaut that is Bullet Treatment is back! This time Liza Graves from Civet is featured on vocals & the result is kind of like a modern day Sin 34. This is true old school thrash, back to the days before hardcore became another term for bad metal. $ songs here in just under seven minutes, this is the kind of stuff that will stick in your head for days! Buy this now! - LOUD FAST RULES MAGAZINE

"THE BIGGER, THE BETTER" 7" - "The latest release from the ever-changing BULLLET TREATMENT brings you more of what you have come to expect from these guys - loud, fast, serious fucking hardcore punk rock. You'd be hard pressed to find a band who does it better than these guys, On this latest release, a limited edition 7", they've got more new members (they're up to 20+ members now), including a new drummer, bass player, and lead vocalist - yet they don't lose a thing. Think MINOR THREAT meets BAD RELIGION, but a whole lot faster. It might just be 4 songs, but they're 4 of the best songs you can ask for, and when this shit gets inside your head, it ain't coming out." - AMP MAGAZINE

"SPLIT 7" W/ THE NIPPLES 7" - "BULLET TREATMENT and THE NIPPLES are the kind of bands that get labelled as being of the rare, true punk rock breed; bands that are 25 times "punker than you", etc. I'm not going to argue with that fact. these guys could no doubt out shout, out drink, out piss me, and thats just fine. Because the world needs bands like this: fast, angry, unpleasant bands who don't give a shit who they offend and why. It's a raw punk racket inspired by the ever-restless spirits of MINOR THREAT, 7 SECONDS al., and you'll have a fairly certain idea by now whether it's going to be up your street or not, which makes my job a little easier. BULLET TREATMENT come across as the slightly wiser older brother, but no less aggressive in their approach. these guys are the original punk oddballs, with a makeshift line-up that is forever changing - they've gone through so many members (including 6 singers) it leaves even the band confused these days. Their first contribution easily steals the show, a suprisingly melodic and substantial effort in a driving, BAD RELIGION way. A decent DESCENDENTS cover follows (the band itself started out as a covers band), before a very raw (and brief) live recording." - KILLTHENOISE.NET

"WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?" - One of the 10 best records of 2004" - AMP MAGAZINE

"All the songs on this CD bare this same classic punk touch with incredible speed-drumming, fierce and churning guitars and raw-shouting yet clear vocals that altogether reminded me of long-time classic acts like M.D.C. or 7 SECONDS and the likes. You'll have to be open for some heavy shit when you buy it, but if you like your bands fast and furious without a degree of metal or growling voices, I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do. This sound is the soil that bands like GOOD RIDDANCE and their adepts are still weeding from. I will always like bands that manage to reproduce this sound in the way BULLET TREATMENT does it, no matter how generic it might be to some." - PUNKNEWS.ORG

"FURIOUS WORLD" - "Finally a four way comp with balls and diversity. Four bands chugging out old school hardcore the old fashioned way. With integrity and differentiating styles. The problem with the new school is they rehash speed metal riffs over hardcore drumbeats. All bands here do their own take on the genre with great outcomes. BULLET TREATMENT is California's best kept secret churning out classic punk on past releases and this time out showing hardcore who the real deal actually is. By and large, this release keeps the faith and proves that hardcore doesn't have to be metal to be brutal." - SKRATCH MAGAZINE
