BIO: 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 gems. Think along the lines of THE ADICTS, STALAG 13, RAMONES, DESCENDENTS and SCREECHING WEASEL. THE NIPPLES have 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).

ALSO AVAILABLE:
"Split 7" w/ Bullet Treatment" 7"

REVIEWS:
"WEEKEND TOYS" - When you listen to The Nipples' Weekend Toys, its hard to believe that a bunch of guys approaching their thirties wrote such a meaningless and adolescent album. You would think that by this age they would have a little but more to say, but they don't. and you know, that's what makes this disc so much fun to listen to. Songs about chicks in no underwear, old skool toys and video games mixed in with a bit of angst are more fun than you can shake a stick at. For the kids out there have a good time getting in touch with your inner anger, while the rest of us who are fighting off old age with a stick its nice to know that angst never dies and punk rock will live forever. - ECTO-MAG

"This is absolutely fucking awesome and I don't throw that word around. I'm not one of these people that rates average shit as awesome...it's got to grab me by the throat and get inside me and THE NIPPLES do just that. Fantastic old school hardcore punk with the sickest vocals.no shouting, no growling just a killer high-pitced voice that's got so much balls.the vocals actually remind me of early AFI when Davey Havok's voice was great mixed with a young and hardcore Mike D, a young a nasal GG Allin and Tom from MINOR DISTRURBANCE and all with the stabbines of Jesse Luscsious.the vocals are what tip this band over the edge for me. Don't think for a second that the music is in any way boring, it's just that topped with the vocals the whole thing is elevated enormously. I love it when a vocalist doesn't have to put on some gravelly 'punk' voice or hardcore yell or whatever and still sound tough and urgent. There is a touch of early AFI musically too in here with lots of speeding up and slowing down but not in lame way. The songs are super short and there's 22 of the fuckers on here.and all in 25 minutes.I think these guys recorded my dream record, this is the shit and again, I don't fuck around- THIS IS AWESOME." - NO FRONT TEETH MAGAZINE

"There are times when insincerity is appropriate in music and then there are times when it's less than desirable. In the case of THE NIPPLES, not only is it appropriate but it is done in a convincing fashion. Not like bands who are too tongue and cheek for their own good but more genuine in a comedic fashion. THE NIPPLES "Weekend Toys" effort is a scathing, super face paced punk rock thrashing in the vein of the revered old school style. The combination of the vocal delivery and the cadence molded together well and brought to mind THE TEEN IDLES from the good old days of D.C. punk/hardcore scene. Higher pitched wails keep in time with tightly woven guitar licks and a relentless rhythm section. Be prepared and aware though, this short but blistering fast ride ends quicker than a cup of coffee in the morning. They ripped through 22 short but explosive songs while poking fun at various 80's themed items as well as some poignant social commentary all through a jumpy and goof-like vibe. Although they didn't quite destroy any molds within the punk rock world, they did display a voracious hunger for delivering punk rock the way it was originally designed to be spit out." - EAST COAST ROMPER

SPLIT 7" W/ BULLET TREATMENT 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
