GG Allin and Antiseen- Murder Junkies (TKO)

Jesus Christ, just how much more bad ass can a record possibly be? The only way you could squeeze anymore untamed aggression outta this CD is if it came with a handful of broken glass for you to rub into your eyes while  listening to it. "Murder Junkies" is a re-release of the infamous GG/Antiseen unholy alliance from the early 90's, proving just how far off the fuckin' tracks we were collectively riding in those days. GG got progressively crazier as the 80's wore on, and by 1991, pretty much the only guy left willing to play with him was his redoubtable brother Merle, so the toxic two dragged their rancid freakshow all the way down to the Carolinas, where Jeff Clayton and his hillbilly headbreakers in Antiseen welcomed them with bleeding, open arms. The rest is the kind of history you usually read in True Crime magazine.

Since Antiseen were an actual, fully functioning rock and roll band, and not the heroin addled petty criminals Allin usually utilized for a back-up band, this is some of the most lethal GG Allin material available. With Antiseen blazing away behind him, GG spits out his bile in the ugliest New Hampshire accent imaginable, enunciating every word as if it's he's explaining his poisoned worldview to disruptive children. And he was, of course. Musically, the boy sound less like their redneck rioting selves and more like a particularly slinky Misfits, which works perfectly. Crazily enough, some of this stuff is actually catchy, like the anti-anthem "Violence Now" which could be mistaken for a lost Sex Pistols nugget, were it not for that fuckin' obnoxious accent (there's a single version of VN here, too. Was the extended remix far behind?), and "Cock on the Loose" always rocks, no matter whose fucking it up. The closing "Carolina Shitkickers" tracks are rather woeful, boozy jamborees, but what the hell- I think the fucker was still in jail at the time.

All in all, if any of GG's holy trinity- drinking, fighting, and fucking- still appeal to you, than this one'll get your blood boiling, but good.
