CD Review
Puncture - "Immune"
By Dan Century
Texas is a pretty obnoxious place. Hell, Texas is the
most obnoxious place in the world! Every Texan is hooked on something: drugs,
alcohol or Jeezus©. They all drink and drive and everybody owns a gun, or
knows someone who will be right over with one. There's loads of sexual tension
too - what with the preachers telling you what not to do - hell, just try to
get laid in Dallas without an "eight-ball" and a BMW. Texas may be the only
place in the world where you can buy a gallon Big Gulp of Dr. Pepper (prune
flavored cola), walk into a bathroom and see a guy snort coke off a girl's
asshole (a true story)*. And lest we not forget, Texas is the reason that
Kennedy's dead.
Puncture is from Texas and they're as obnoxious as you might
imagine. They're not fruity obnoxious like the Bloodhound Gang, or "ethnically
challenged" white kids rapping over metal riffs obnoxious. Puncture is
obnoxious like they kick your ass, curb-jaw you, take all your shit, sell it
for crank, grain, gasoline and guitar strings, and then they go and kick your
mother's ass! Wow!
What do they sound like you ask? Imagine the hardest moments
of KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Rammstien, the Deftones and Ministry - and imagine
music that hard all the time, not just for a song or too. Granted, at times,
Puncture might sound exactly like any of those bands, but every Puncture song
is quality, unlike KMFDM, who squirts out only one or two good songs per album.
Puncture is 50 megatons of beats, noise, Slayer riffs, hate, fuck and kill
dropped on your ass!
How are the lyrics you ask? In a word: awesome. Puncture
covers all the subjects and more: porno, bondage, murder, Sado -masochism ,
Satan, drag, smokin' drugs, "browneyes," crabs (not the sea food), fisting,
"machine orifice adapters" and other good stuff! These are angry, doped up, sex
maniacs! No other band has captured the raw, angry, mean, hateful, drug
addicted, sex obsessed, gun worshiping underbelly of Texas like Puncture. They
deserve a Pulitzer Prize! They deserve an Oscar! They deserve your $13.99 for
their CD. Check these lyrics: "monkey can't spring me I'm immune / they can't
beat me I'm immune / cops can't catch me I'm immune / bullets can't stop me I'm
immune!" Damn, they're like superheroes from planet hate!
If you love obnoxious, Slayer riff, aggro/industrial madness
- the best the world has to offer - pick up this CD today.
* An except from my soon to be released epic novel: Dan Goes
to Texas and the Freaky Shit He Saw. I have stories that will make Hunter S.
Thompson shit his own eyeballs!
