Slime

Morally Bankrupt Morally Bankrupt LP

You can tell it’s a good record when it ends all too fast (or else it’s way short, but in this case you get 16 songs). Rippin’ punk/thrash/skate music with bits of funk, but all really well delivered. Theme-wise, skating and “fun” songs predominate, but there’s some serious stuff too, such as “C.I.A.A.I.D.S.,” which insinuates there’s a CIA conspiracy behind the AIDS epidemic. Hot record!

Not your standard thrash fare by any means, but thrash nonetheless. Combining lightning fast and super-tight rhythms, vicious leads, and out-front singing (fine back-ups too), these SLUGS blaze their way onto the punk scene. Guitarist Steve DeMartis (ex-BAD POSTURE, and bass sub for a FLIPPER tour), a real vet of the scene, brings his metalish (but not grossly so) roots into play, which makes this debut both professional and distinctive. A good one.
