YOUTH IN DISAPPROVAL

I got PANZRAM's A NEW MENTAL DISORDER FOR YOUTH IN DISAPPROVAL 7" as freebie from from one of the members cause it took him so long to send me the copy of their RESTRAINT tape I had ordered. thanks again! in case you aren't familiar with PANZRAM yet, let me tell you that PANZRAM is a 2 men band from Ft. Myers, FL that can be described with a mathematical equasion: PANZRAM = 2/4 of MERKIT, but as both bands haven't so much in comon music-wise that doesn't say much. if the combination 2men band and serial killer band name made you think they'd be a PV/GRINDCORE band you're totally wrong! on their 31614 demo PANZRAM delivered heavy, dissonant HARDCORE trying to sounded as noisy and off-kilter, as possible. unfortunately from that sound isn't really much left on this 3 track 7"! the 5:24 min long NOISEROCK title track on the A side has some parts I'd file under GOTH or WAVE but that doesn't make it less boring in my ears. the 1st track on side B is better but even though it's not anywhere near as boring as the 1st track it's still too weird, rockish, whatever for me but at least has it's moments. the last track is a PSYCHEDELIC FURS cover and I'm not really sure yet what I should think about it honestly speaking. I'm not really into it after sitting through the other 2 tracks on the 7" but thrown in between more harder and faster music I most likely would be into it... also I'm def into the covers which are 2 color silk screened and look totally rad! click the cover to download! the password is mean.

BAD DREAMS

I got another quick post for you: THE WORLD ITSELF IS A BAD DREAM which is a totally rad tape compilation with 8 tracks from BAD YEAR, DEAD STARE, DURESS, NAZI DUST, PANZRAM and RATIONAL ANIMALS which run 8 minutes altogether and way more more important are all enjoyable. John Fahy, who not only runs HUMAN CRUSH RECORDINGS but is also a columnist for MRR and plays in PANZRAM and MERKIT if I'm not mistaken was not only kind enough to look around to get a copy for me after it was officially sold out I also got the comp. tape and the PANZRAM demo for only $ 8 incl. shipping from him even though the THE WORLD ITSELF IS A BAD DREAM tape alone would've scored way more on ebay back then. as most releases of NAZI DUST, DEAD STARE and DURESS can be found on a lot of blogs no, wait on nearly every blog is closer to home. every blog that is related to HARDCORE and/or PUNK somehow that is (in case of DEAD STARE incl. this one here too) and as I, as already mentioned before, have uploaded PANZRAM's 31614 demo I guess I don't have to tell you more. considering the fact that the compilation also has already been posted on other blogs before too I probably should have written" I know" instead of I guess. the password is mean.

31614

PANZRAM is a 2 piece hailing from Ft. Myers, Florida that you may or may not know from the "THE WORLD ITSELF IS A BAD DREAM" tape comp. on which they are featured (and which I also got thanks to John). this is their 7 track demo that's posted with permission from John Fahy who not only runs HUMAN CRUSH RECORDINGS on which the tape was released but also plays guitar and sings for PANZRAM. you also might know him from being a columnist for MRR (that actual writes columns worth reading) or from playing in MERKIT. actually the other PANZRAM guy Joe Lachut also plays in MERKIT and they started the band when MERKIT slowed down a little bit. I downloaded MERKIT's complete discography from some blog I don't remember a while ago but I couldn't tell you if they sound similar in any way cause I honestly can't remember how MERKIT sound as I just listened to their discography once and wouldn't know why that should be important as this is a PANZRAM post anyway. John wrote that they "wanted the band to sound like; noisy, heavy, off-kilter and with personal lyrics about genuine experiences and ideas that are ugly by nature" and guess what they succeeded in reaching that goal. honestly speaking I was expecting POWER VIOLENCE when I 1st read their name but it's more along the lines of heavy HARDCORE which is perfectly fine for me. I prefer that above some shitty IRON LUNG clone band any day plus some of their lyrics are really outstanding and way beyond the typical bullshit that passes for lyrics these days. on a side note: as my tape-deck (that is the one I borrowed from my parents about 3 years ago) seems to fuck up I burned the wma files that you can download from John's blog on a CD and ripped that CD to mp3s again. you can order a physical copy of the tape that also comes with a cool packaging for 5 $ pp. / 8 $ pp world from John whom you can contact via the HUMAN CRUSH RECORDS blog. click the cover above to download!
