| | |
| | In punk rock, there are many bands with guiding ideologies, beliefs |
| | that define for them what "punk" is. The Spermbirds are not one of |
| | those bands. The Spermbirds are a typical snotty, reasonably |
| | melodic skatepunk band. Their biggest standout feature is that they |
| | formed in West Germany in the early-to-mid `80s. This CD, recently |
| | issued through Boss Tuneage's "Retro Series," includes their first |
| | two full-lengths, Something to Prove and Nothing Is Easy, and adds |
| | a few bonus tracks at the end for shits and giggles. |
| | |
| | Right off the bat, you can tell that this is very SoCal-esque; |
| | Something has an Agent Orange cover, while Nothing has a cover of |
| | the Angry Samoans. The guitar switches between basic early hardcore |
| | chord changes and some nice melodic lead guitar lines, but doesn't |
| | really innovate. The vocalist, I believe, was an American G.I., so |
| | all of the lyrics are in English, and lack that annoying "look at |
| | me, I can legally drink beer and look at pornography at the age of |
| | thirteen!" accent. |
| | |
| | The thing that bothers me most about this first album is the lyrics |
| | (this ties in with the lack of ideology, see). One minute, on |
| | "You're Not a Punk," they claim that people who skateboard |
| | shouldn't try to be punk, but then contradict themselves with "My |
| | God Rides a Skateboard," a song that is notable because it contains |
| | the most feeble attempt at rapping ever. The only statement they |
| | seem to make definitively is, "girls suck." The album is filled |
| | with the kind of casual sexism that has no place in punk. Tracks |
| | like "What a Bitch Is," "Bed Tool," and "Playboy Subscriber" ("I'm |
| | gonna come, come, come all over your face") make me, well, a little |
| | uneasy. It's not done tongue-in-cheek, and it sounds more like the |
| | kind of talk that was going on in the crappy metal that I'm sure |
| | all of the other German kids were listening to. |
| | |
| | Nothing Is Easy is an improvement over the first album. The |
| | melodies are catchier, and the hardcore parts, especially on the |
| | opener "Die Sgt. Landry," are faster and harder. The lyrics are a |
| | little more "emo," a little more personal, and they've left most of |
| | the machismo at home. The title track is a little creepily |
| | conservative, in the "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" |
| | sense, but it's not like punk bands haven't preached self-reliance |
| | before. |
| | |
| | The packaging for this reissue is pretty good, a glossy digi-pak |
| | with Cerebus the Aardvark's face staring right at you. While most |
| | of the lyrics are included, there are no liner notes, and the album |
| | art for the second album is not included. If you like your |
| | Adolescents, your TSOL, and whatnot, then check the Spermbirds out. |
| | It's not exactly my thing, but hey, they might be yours. |
