Belle Ringer NEW EP!
Category: Music

BELLE RINGER OUT NOW

at UNDERGROUND MEDICINE AND ALL THE OTHER USUAL SUSPECTS!

It's the shattered chords that let you know something's not quite right - that within the discord there's no sense of calm, no underlying sanity to pull you through. Despite their veteran status in the United States punk scene, Kevin McGovern and the Prostitutes have made clear through the release of their latest 7", Belle Ringer, that they will not be coasting on their past success. The band is vicious: pulsing drums with dirty fragmented guitars…and yet somehow they sound tighter than ever. McGovern's vocals are nothing short of deranged. He sounds wild, as if he could fly off the handle at any moment; and what's most impressive is that it's all so brilliantly calculated. After so many years, the Prostitutes know what they're doing. It's the disgust of the Sex Pistols meeting the angular chords of early New York punk that's drives Belle Ringer. They've taken the chaos of the Stooges and amped it—gone back in time but refused to hammer out the sounds we've already heard. Never underestimate the Prostitutes.

Psych Ward California

talkin all the time, lets do another line
schizo born again rich kids, sewage so divine
your head clogged the sink, part time witch doctor shrink
isolation is sanity, man i need a drink

psychward california, TV formed you, i wanna bleed eternally
psychward california, did she warn you? hipshake catastrophe

gone into the void, everything annoys
talkin backwards all the time, things you can't avoid
your thoughts got in the way, a little too risque
isolation is sanity, freak out and meditate

earthquake catastrophe.......................

Back Stab

im feeling so detached, light a fuckin match
let it burn, i dont wanna learn about anything, fuck the king
betrayal at the highest level, rock n roll belittled
lipstick traces of all the places that you weren't

back stab, real bad, back stab, that's that
i want the ugly truth all i got was you, motel room, serious doom
back stab, real bad, back stab, that's that
im feeling too loose, my head is in a noose, there ain't gonna be no truce

manic depressed, russian roulette
don't hit rewind, there's nothing to find, just hit erase, disgusting taste
the polluted airwaces, programming all the slaves
lipstick traces of all the places that you weren't

Annihilate From The Start

all the things i used to do, that i still do
10 more blackout nights over, i don't even know you
time is a my only curse, always kill your enemies first

they suffocate....tear them apart.......annihilate....from the start
don't be late.....don't hesitate......annihilate ....from the start

cigarettes and empty cans, makin all my plans
it's just something you would never ever undertsand
i was born with a blood thirst, always kill your enemies first

don't talk to me, don't look at me, everyones a freak including me
i dont' even wanna know them, i dont even wanna know you

Poison Me

waste of time, third rate opinion
your antenna lost the transmission
another night staring at the wall
i wanna come apart and take a fall

posion me, one more reason i don't wanna breathe
poison me, too much is never enough too drink

seven two hour down in the hole
i'm a freak baptized by weirdos
a perfect night to take a dive
don't wanna stay in or go out side

poison me
just let me leave

The Prostitutes - Kill Them Before They Eat--CD (May Cause Dizziness)

"My brain is aching. My guts are screaming. My girlfriend’s a bitch. I want to die. I want to commit open murder on anything moving in the city streets. I’ve been drunk for days. My gums are bleeding. My teeth are falling out of my head. I hate everything. My nose won’t stop bleeding. I don’t know who the snoring fat naked bitch beside me in my bed is. I can’t stop vomiting. I have 12 cents to live on for 2 weeks. My cupboards are bare. My refrigerator is empty. My pillow is missing. I don’t know where I am or whose floor I just woke up on. I have crabs crawling on my balls. My cock is leaking puss. I’ve fallen and don’t want to get up. I feel like there’s no way to win. Ever feel that way? Well then this is the perfect soundtrack for you. Snotty and punk as fuck. First one from the legendary Prostitutes in many years and guess what? They’re even better than they were before. Get this or don’t. It’s your loss if you skip it."
..... Terminal Boredom....Coppens

RAZORCAKE #47
PROSTITUTES,THE:
Kill Them before They Eat: CD
I can recall back in the early ‘80s when the split first developed between the negative punks and the positive punks. Since I had already done some serious time living-fast-and-nearly-dying-young, I decided to throw my lot in with the positive punks. Yet I found that I had some rebellious urge that would not let me fully embrace total positivity. I found that I had to have my negative punk reprieve from time to time to keep my sanity and my sense of fun intact. In the mid-to-late ‘90s The Prostitutes rallied my negative punk excitement level better than any other band of that time period. They managed to craft a handful of classics that still scorch my soul every time I listen to them. After breaking up in their originating city of Harrisburg, PA, Kevin Prostitute has started up a new Prostitutes in Long Beach. This new album definitely sounds like The Prostitutes of old. It is slightly more polished-sounding than their older recordings but not enough to put anyone off. Kevin’s pissed-off snarl still carries this music head and shoulders above other bands that I hear mining this same sound and vibe. The best comparison I have for this band might be The Pagans. I’ve listened to this album many times and I don’t hear any weak tracks. Of course, I’m also looking for something that singes me the way that “Teenage Girls” and “22” did eleven or twelve years ago and, right now, this album’s “They’re All Dead” is totally doing that for me. –Chris Peigler (May Cause Dizziness, www.mcdrecords.com)
Fun bouncy New York style punk rock direct from Long Beach, California...

THE PROSTITUTES "Kill Them Before They Eat"

Back in the late 90s. The Prostitutes were about the only bright spot in an otherwise completely dead central PA music scene. After a handful of singles & one great LP, the band split up & went their separate ways. Fast forward to 2008when singer Kevin, now living in LA, finds a new group of degenerates & brigands to reform the band & put this batch of of snotty, attitude drenched So Cal punk tunes together. If you’re familiar with the older Prostitutes stuff, this is an updated, more improved version of the original. If you’re not, this is gritty, degenerate punk rock & roll in the vein of F-Word, the Skulls, the Pagans, Crime, and some of those early LA bands that you’d find on comps like the "Life Is..." series or "Who Cares?". Yeah fucker, it’s that damn good! The last 6 songs on the CD version are from Kevin’s previous band the Inversions & while they aren’t as potent as the newer songs, they still kick the shit out of most of what passes for punk these days. Buy this before they self destruct again so you don’t have to be one of the dumb fucks that misses out on this killer collection of real punk rock & roll. (Www.mcdrecords.com) JRM LOUD FAST RULES

PUNK GLOBE___
The Prostitutes have honed a Ramones, New York Doll influenced sound and done it right...
Vocals and Guitar are provided by Kevin Prostitute
and he does a good job with that snotty punk rock sound...
The band has a cult following on the East Coast.

Stand out songs are a "I Wanna Go To Hell" , "Fashion Bitch",
"Lolita", "Hollywood Murder Scene"
and, of course, "She's a Blonde,"
obviously written for Reese Witherspoon...

Buy this CD.------------GINGER COYOTE

Ever do too much crank and your drinking cheap beer and eating Xanax hoping to calm down? Ever shot up in the bathroom with Sammytown of Fang, Blag from the Dwarves or G.G. Allen? Ever get the feeling its 1977? Great! "Kill Them Before They Eat" is the record for you. Kevin Prostitute (the most underrated punk rock singer of my generation) pulls it off yet again with a fucking brilliant release. This is not only the best thing Kevin and the Prostitutes have done, but it's probably the most sincere punk rock record I've heard in years. Kevin IS punk rock. He has dedicated his life to the cause. I've known Kevin for almost 15 years. He is the real deal. The first 10 songs are brand new, and the following 6 songs were from 2 E.P. by The Inversions. (The Inversions were basically the Prostitutes under a different name. Kevin is even more pissed off at society than ever, and you can tell. The tunes are catchy as ever. Touching on topics like ex's, punk rock chicks, drugs, alcohol, drugs, and alcohol and more drugs. Warning, this record will make you relapse! This is not for the faint of heart, posers, or AA and NA members. If you don't like this record you don't know what real punk rock is. Do yourself a favor and buy this album, or kill yourself you worthless fuck.

----------Bryan Goon_____OKlahama Punk Out

The Prostitutes are back with their second (third if you count the unreleased "3 Minute Heroes" from 2002) full length album. They are older, raunchier, and angrier at the world. The CD version of this album contains 6 bonus tracks from an E.P. that really sounds like a separate entity from both LPs. It's less thick with sludge than the new LP and yet more experimental than the old one. "Kill Them" takes the snotty; rage filled classic sound of The Prostitutes and infuses the post-punk experimentation of WIRE and SUICIDE into it making for an interesting sound. The album is still hard hitting on a conscious level but carries with it an air of subversion. The songs make several mentions of being "fucked up" and it really makes you feel it. The music and lyrics unite to make you feel as if you're coming down, dirt under your fingernails, stomach clogged with nausea, pounding headache and you realize this hangover is better than the high. You just want to listen to this album and bask in the sleaze.

Tyler Vile-----Punk Globe

The Prostitutes "Discography"- Yeah. Another discography. There are something like 23 tracks on here and they're all vital. Catchy lewd, perverted, deviant snot punk from the drunken drugged out perverted mind of Kevin Prostitute. I mean this shit's perfect as far as catchy snotty scum punk goes. Mix with gin. (MC)

The Inversions 7"s (songs now featured on kill them before they eat)

One word: SNOTTY! The Inversions are what appears to be the first new band out of the ashes of THE PROSTITUTES, a band that released a few head-turning platters 5 or 6 years ago. They don't deviate much from formulaic snotty punk rock, so I'm left only slightly impressed. If you enjoy stuff from the Pelado and Hostage labels (which are usually hit or miss with me), you'll be all over this puppy.

Amp Magazine (MC)

Domestic Disturbance
Rapid Pulse's latest offering. More of that catchy retro-77 stuff Jim loves so much. Kinda reminds me of a slower, more abrasive FLIP TOPS, which is a very good thing in my book. The A-side is a sonic blast of snot and snarl. The first song on the B-side is a slower and groovier piss and moan tune that doesn't suck at all, surprisingly, and the third and final track is another snot punk tune about not liking blonde chicks, which I wholeheartedly agree with: "she's blonde? I'm gone"! Word. This is totally worth a spin.

MRR 241 (BM)

Hung By The Phone
This has that 70s/early 80s power-pop/punk sound that so many are trying to pull off these days. The A-side is excellent, and reminds me a great deal of RED PLANET. It's almost shamelessly catchy. The B-side continues along the same road, but doesn't achieve the same quality.

MRR 241 (KK)

Hung By The Phone
Now this is a moderately nice surprise. Never heard of 'em, don't know shit about 'em, but alright with 'em. A-sides the winner, but the B-side's got the handclaps. Now go get me a polish and a Royal Crown.

Horizontal Action 11 (Nervous)

Kevin McGovern---chronic fuck-up, notorious chemical abuser, paranoid deviant, ex-Prostitute, punk rock front-man extraordinaire, and author of some of the most perverted, psychotic prose to ever grace the pages of this very magazine---is BACK! And the good news is that his new group, The Inversions, picks up exactly where the late, great 'tutes left off! Now terrorizing the state of Ohio, Kevin's still hell-bent on full-on sonic destruction. Comparisons to The Stitches, Humpers, and Pagans may have once sufficed. But hasn't Kevin finally earned the right to be placed in a category all of his own? These singles are HOT. Expect nothing less than tuneful, obnoxious rock n' roll of the highest caliber. Expect nothing less than raw, dirty noise that'll make 99% of today's punk music sound like the formulaic, boring, watered-down drivel that it truly is. As Algy Suicide says, Kevin McGovern IS rock n' roll! Truthfully, this new material is so fucking incredible that you might hurt yourself just trying to listen to it. Kevin's raspy, demented voice still sounds great---and his lyrics remain funny, disturbing, and dead-on-attuned to the dark, drug-addled realities of dysfunctional American life. And the killer band brings his twisted vision to life with the same kind of reckless ferocity & trashy abandon that once made the original Prostitutes one of the finest punk bands of the 1990's. The best songs here are the insanely catchy "Hung By The Phone" and the eerie "They're All Dead", but there's not a bad tune on either record. Fans of Kevin's old band in particular or dangerous rock n' roll in general are all advised to get a hold of BOTH of these singles ASAP!Crack pipe not included.

Now Wave Zine (Rutledge)

Led by the raging hormones and poison tongue of Kevin McGovern, former screamer for almost-legends The Prostitutes, the Ohio-based Inversions are classic, snot-encrusted danger punks, spewing out minute-and-a-half odes to teenage pussy. I don't know if there's a band out there more suited to this format, since each 45 instantly transports you back to the halcyon days when two minutes was all you needed to rock the tits off the kids and then scram before the smoke clears. Fans of the Pagans, Buzzcocks, and Dwarves are gonna be bouncing off the fuckin' walls with these singles. The songs are too short to pick a fave, really, but "Hit Me" has an amazing hand-clap rhythm to move it along, and "She's Blonde" has got to be one of the most honest reasons to pursue a chick I've heard. Anyway, this is really smoking stuff. Highly recommended.

Sleazegrinder

What else would you expect from Rapid Pulse? Fast rock and roll punk with influences from the Dead Boys to the Rip Offs on these two 45s! "Hung by the Phone" is the better tof the two. The lead song sounds like a forgotten '70s punk hit! The B-side has one catchy song and another not as catchy song - but with handclaps! Coming in second place, "Domestic Disturbance" is still good, and reminds me of Wisconsin's own Catholic Boys at times. Plus, both records have a super minimal old school layout - just black with some neon stripes. Punk! This Fruit Loops. Sure Fruit Loops/RNR Punk has been around forever, but they're still, uh, yummy!
