Guttermouth |
 The
tenth go-round for Guttermouth, Eat Your Face is
being heralded as a “return to form” for the veteran snotnosed punkers.
That means that there are more songs about getting drunk and puking (“Second
DUI,” “NRAA”) than on their last few records, which is a good
thing in many circles. There’s also plenty of knocks against cash-in
punks (“Seasons,” “Surf’s Up Asshole,” “The Next Faux
Mohican”), songs about losing your toupee in the ocean (“Octopus
Hairpiece”), snuffing annoying children (“My Neighbor’s Baby”),
chant-alongs about smacking someone with food (“Hot Dog to the Head”—“Weiner
to the face/Puts you right in your place”), and in case you think
Guttermouth isn’t an equal opportunity offender, they even slag
themselves on “Wasted Lives.” The whole affair is painted in big,
jagged ‘80s-era L.A. punk riffs, and sounds like the perfect soundtrack
for trashing your living room, jumping off rooftops or taking pictures
of your friends while they’re passed out. In case you haven’t had the
chance to do any of those things lately, well, here’s the excuse you’ve
been waiting for.Guttermouth web site _____________________________________________________ |
