Bum Kon Ground Round LP
Here’s a furious little album, this time exploiting the studio more to bring out a swirling tight-fisted sound that’s not punk and not metal but something in the middle and very cool.
MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL
Here’s a furious little album, this time exploiting the studio more to bring out a swirling tight-fisted sound that’s not punk and not metal but something in the middle and very cool.
Eclectic hardcore that combines power with offbeat influences, changes of pace, funky bass playing, SoCal-sounding punk vocals, and the eccentricities usually associated with Sun Belt bands. Should establish them with fringe-freaks everywhere.
Raw thrash emanates from Colorado’s BUM KON. They have a frenetic instrumental attack and intense vocals, but the generally poor production doesn’t always highlight their potential—note, e.g., the variation between the muddy title song and “The Draft,” which has a much hotter sound.
