Disguster/Hitchhikers
Split CD
Zodiac Killer
If you're looking for a real rock n' roll rush, that kind of breathless adrenaline high that only really fuckin' spot-on, bad-ass, punch-the-wall rock can give you, than you are in luck. The fine fiends at Zodiac Killer records have paired two of the hottest sleaze-punk sensations currently residing on this or any other puny planet on a scorching split CD that will have you robbing liquor stores and impregnating porn stars by tomorrow morning. Fullerton, California's Disguster are like the Backyard Babies without all the Def Leppard bullshit, a swaggering glam-punk assault on the senses that's fast and mean and at least half-crazy. The Hitchhikers...well, these motherfuckers are ex-Humpers, which should tell you all you need to know. Bruising punk with a junk-rock twist and 10,000 miles of bad road to wander. The Hitch tracks include original demos from 2003 and new shit, as well. The Disguster stuff is so fresh it's still steaming. In the grand tradition of incestuous West Coast punk, there's at least one Disguster in the Hitchhikers, and who knows what they're sharing backstage, so the two bands complement each other nicely. This is the most accomplished collection of low-down dirt-rock I've heard in ages, and I recommend it without hesitation. If I could somehow force you to buy it, I fuckin' would.
