WHY LEFTWING MEDIA NEEDS TO STOP LYING AND WHY YOU NEED TO STOP LISTENING | YOU ARE COMPLICIT, KAREN

A mother won't be going home to her three kids, ever again , because our skumfuk lying leftwing politicians and the mainstream media they control insists on lying, and using manipulative language, in order to label others with inhuman-words that mentally allows these people to justify trying to kill people they politically disagree with. IT. NEEDS. TO. STOP! And it stops with YOU , you fucking gullible retard fuck. "The reason why they're defending this woman... its because they agree with her, and they want to create an ecosystem where being violent and abusing police officers is accepted. You can see the video, very clearly the woman was trying to run 'em over... They (mainstream left-wing media and left-aligned influencers) don't show this angle for a reason because it paints a much more gray picture... if he hadn't moved, she would have run him over. Watch the tire... This would have never happened if she had just gotten out of the car... and it would have ...

Album Review: Poison Arrows by Communique


Album: Poison Arrows
Artist: Communique

Website/Social Media: BandcampFacebook

Sounds Like: 80s New Wave & Indie Rock

Similar Artists: Matt Skiba & The Sekrets, We Are Scientists, Gerard Way (solo), Ozma, Alkaline Trio, The Network


Review: How has this band eluded my ears for over 10 years? Communique released 3 albums on Lookout! records in the mid 2000's but it took until just a few days ago for their 2004 full-length album Poison Arrows to fall into my hands.

The band's sound is a blending of 80s new-wave & indie rock / punk. Similar to that of  We Are Scientists, Matt Skiba & The Sekrets, or Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance). "Ouija Me" is a fun-but-morbid love song that would easily fit right next to Alkaline Trio on a pop-punk/horror compilation. While the album is definitely a solid listen as a whole, there are a few songs that really stand out including "Black Curses" and "Perfect Weapon."


Communique was actually formed by the members of another Lookout! Records punk band named American Steel who thought that the new-wave sound wouldn't be a good fit under their former name. It is also interesting to note that former Lookout! Records and Bay Area artists Green Day also experimented with a new-wave side project (The Network) around this same time with both bands releasing debut albums in 2003. Was one band inspired by the other or was it all just a coincidence? I'm definitely not pointing any fingers because the fact that both exist are good things in my opinion.

Our Score: 8.5/10 - A solid album from start to finish with a few solid singles for pop-punk fans who maybe aren't as big on the new-wave sound.
