Bucking The Rage, Fucking The Streets

Seeing as Guy Fawkes Night came about due to insurgent anger at persecution (however misguided), I thought the two entries today should have their fair share of teeth-baring animosity. I'm kicking off with New Orleans punks Buck Biloxi & the Fucks who have already sold out of most copies to new LP Streets Of Rage (you can grab some copies here). Brutal and combative, rank and diseased, viscous and virile, Streets of Rage turns the detritus and bugbears of lowest common denominator society and spins it into rancid gold. From 'Rock 'n Roll Sucks Part 2' to the tin-can slammed 'Everything Is Fake', the album is for shitkickers and rabblerousers alike. It's a little clearer than previous Fucks releases, which tells me one thing - with such desiccated brilliance, 'I Don't Wanna Be Dead'.

About

It was early on a Sunday morning at ATP - A Nightmare Before Christmas 2009. After downing a fair few, at 4am we decided to cook a curry. It was during the consumption of this drunkenly delicious breakfast treat that we decided to actually do something about the music we talk about all the time.

So we started a blog – and Sonic Masala was born. Now into its seventh year, the blog has spread out to call both Australia and the UK its home (and the rest of the world), and has expanded to include gigs, festivals and a record label under its black umbrella. Come on, eat the noize.

If an mp3 is up here, it's because we have been talking about it, and think the whole world needs to know more. It's there to give you a little taste. Then, if you like, check out the band live and spend all your hard earned cash on their records. If we've posted up an mp3 of your stuff and you're not too keen on the idea, let us know and we'll happily take it down pronto.
