Citizen Fish/Leftover Crack - Deadline
Reviewed by gbowles
This split LP features some straight-up punk rock and ska music for fans of that stale, 20th century style of rebellion. I tend to agree with and sympathize with most everything the bands have to say, but unfortunately, things have gotten worse politically, economically and in many ways, socially and culturally since punk's inception. Is it that punk dumbs down music to the point where the music doesn't matter anymore and it is mainly an image? Not completely, but it is partially to blame. I think everyone wishes that this message could be put across more effectively; just not sure that this is the way to do it. [www.alternativetentacles.com]
