Dropdead's second LP is a lot like the first one, or like anything they've ever done (shrill, to-the-point hardcore), with the needle leaning further into the red. This is as much of a blunt force trauma as hardcore is capable of delivering without crossing over into metal territory. Oh, and there's some Masonna ear-bleed shit at the end. Absolutely a classic.
Seth Putnam of Anal Cunt apparently had some beef with them over their carebear liberal politics. This far into the post-90's apolitical, unemotional era of music, I wouldn't mind some new bands getting pissed about something the way these guys do. I'm down with new music, but these posts are reaching back mainly because I'm not feeling how the best current bands sound like breathing iPod playlists. I'll take hamfisted Discharge and Dropdead lyrics over generic babble about permafrost and google-fueled occult knowledge.
Listen to the track US AND THEM. I've probably blasted through that one a few hundred times.
Anyway, enjoy listening to this on your iPhone: Download
