REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY – Destroy All Evidence CD

44,00 zł

Wspólny projekt w którym spotkali się Vic Bondi (Articles of Faith, Alloy, Jones Very), oraz J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines), Darren Zentek (Kerosene 454), i Erik Denno (Kerosene 454) by dać wyraz swojej dezaprobacie wobec polityki Busha, nawiązujac do najlepszych lat anty-reaganowskiego punka z lat 80-tych. Muzycznie jednak bliżej im do post-punkowego brzmienia Dischordu, choć oczywiście w kawałkach które śpiewa Bondi nie da się nie usłyszeć Articles Of Faith…  Wydana w 2008 roku, druga ich płyta przeszła trochę bez echa, ale to jest rewelacyjna rzecz!

Vic Bondi (Articles of Faith, Alloy, Jones Very) began Report Suspicious Activity as a productive means to channel his political rage: a one-off project that grew into a band as musicians were recruited, songs written, and shows played. In addition to Bondi, Report Suspicious Activity now boasts an impressive lineup with J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines), Darren Zentek (Kerosene 454), and Erik Denno (Kerosene 454). The meaningless war on terror drags on, and so continues Report Suspicious Activity’s musical insurgency. For Destroy All Evidence, their follow-up to 2005’s self-titled debut, both Bondi and Robbins penned the songs while Bondi, Robbins, and Denno take turns as lead
vocalists.

In terms of songcraft and lyrical heft, they can duke it out with the best of Reagan-era political punk. Their hardcore mettle is tempered with a DC post-punk slant and Bondi’s always-soulful songwriting. The lyrics, as informed as they are vitriolic, go beyond simplistic punk punditry, waking our emotional core fatigued by the 24-hour news cycle. Is Destroy All Evidence a bitter requiem for the Bush legacy? One would like to think it’s a clarion call to never forget the dark times as we forge ahead.

“A distinct reflection of the times and Vic’s complete discontent with the politics that are tarnishing America’s name…. This isn’t just a political hardcore record: there is a sense of melody and honesty that is lacking in music these days.”
