WHY SOME WOMEN ARE SKUMCUNTS WHO SHOULD BE STERILIZED

Not all of you. But if you're someone who ever tagged yourself in a reel using the dumb song from the end of the newest Superman movie while wearing a diaper-chin, chances are you're part of this very same category, you worthless free-handout-wanting cunt, you. Too many women out there treat children as a government pay day, and not as an actual human being who need to be cared for. Nevermind the fact that the child is going to cost that retard bitch way more money than what she is going to get for child support.  These people deserve to be sterilized, so they don't abuse our financial systems which cost you and I more money in taxes when these skumkunt women fuckup and can't raise their own damn kids, let alone themseves. That child support money doesn't come from out of thin-air. It comes from a father who may or may not be a piece of shit enough to actually deserve it, and it comes directly from the pockets of you and I in the form of taxes. Close your fucking le...

Album Review: Poison Arrows by Communique

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.
