takeout is my favorite flint punk band ever. fast, angry songs about chuck norris, skullfucking, and jumping fences to get away from the cops.

the surgeon general warns that a steady diet of takeout will result in a good chance that you won’t be a complete tool.”

floor is lava was a helmet cover band that played one show at the flint local 432. they featured members of kid brother collective, the conqueror worm, dead by sunday, and the amputation.
from their myspace:
“floor is lava is a band that never quite came to be. we wrote one and a half songs, played one show (which was all helmet covers), and then threw in the towel. i can honestly say that this is the greatest rock lineup i have ever been a part of, it is a shame we couldn’t stick it out. the first song is our only original, the other is the helmet song we liked most. we hope you enjoy. these are rough mixes. i will be putting up the final mixes soon. <3 vince”
members:
brandon trammel – vocals, guitar
vince moreno – guitar
eric – vocals, bass
mark michalik – drums
——————————————–
floor is lava – 2 songs
1. a working man’s wage
2. he feels bad (helmet cover)
i wasn’t around for this band but this 2 song demo is amazing. i know they shared members with the conqueror worm but i’m not sure who was in this band. if you can help me out with this then leave me a comment please.
stolen from last.fm:
“born from the ashes of the conqueror worm and hailing from flint, mi, the amputation was short-lived. it will, however, prove to have set the bar very high for many ensembles to come. the music and lyrics are tremendously morbid, with very creative transitions and phrases.”
——————————————————————-

1. confines of distance
2. off the red window sill
i miss this band so much. if you’ve never heard them before you should definitely check them out. rumor has it they may be coming out with a new album shortly and maybe even be playing a show in flint next month.
from their myspace:
“Painted on green shirts and songs about biological enzymatic functions are common place at their shows. Audience members are constantly bombarded with audio insanity and visual stimulation, being pelted with profanity and offensive screams, all of which are engulfed in their true-to-form “fuck you” mantra of abrasive and loud rock & roll.”

i know next to nothing about this band except that they only play shows once a year and this record fucking rules.
from their myspace:
“there was a time when rock and roll was dangerous. it was thought of as the devil’s music. now it has become something much worse, the corporation’s music. a money-maker for the modern day pillagers. the corporate world has taken over rock and roll and it’s many off shoots. the result is a watered down version of what it once was. it’s purpose is to make money for the destroyers of the earth and the exploiters of humanity. another by-product of this is a complacent, ignorant youth. the corporations are now owning our counter-culture. there is no difference between kid rock, blink 182, and kelly clarkson. none have anything to say. it is time we put our foot down. we no longer want to hear songs about pointless bullshit when people are dying in wars for the western empire. we no longer want to hear music with sexual implications as opposed to the real words. we no longer want to hear a repeat of what was cool yesterday. we no longer want to hear music that is for the censors. we no longer want to hear safe music that makes sure the “artist” gets paid. we want to hear real music for music’s sake, not for fucking money’s sake. we want to hear raw passion and sex in the music. we want no censorship. we want THE GUY CHAMPION SEXUAL REVOLUTION!”
