If you can’t wait for The Bronx’ new release, you might do well to pick up a copy of Killing California’s new album, “No Pentagrams No Crosses”. This San Clemente, CA based outfit cranks out a bunch of songs that you can just count on the fingers of your two hands before balling them up into fists and annihilating everyone and everything around you.

This is pure piss and vinegar with loud guitars, pounding drums and a vocalist who sounds like he brushes his teeth with whiskey and then flosses with barbed wire. I have no idea where that came from but it sounds about right. Add plenty of rock n roll swagger, some Black Flag throwbacks and just the right amount of melody amidst this hardcore punk maelstrom and you’re good to go!

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
