HOW LIBERAL WHITE WOMEN'S BRAINS WERE BROKEN BY MASINTREAM LEFTWING MEDIA PROPAGANDA

This is what happens when left-wing media / political propaganda breaks a person's brain. You can't spend close to a decade labeling everyone who disagrees with you as "nazis" without enabling this type of outrageous, mentally-ill behavior. You can't allows a class of persons (white women) to hold so much privelidge, and never hold them accountable for their shitty behavior, without enabling this very type of rotten, self-centered attitude. This woman is clearly drunk and/or on drugs.  "She thinks she's a warrior. She's slurring her speech. She's drunk on wine. She's like... "I'm gonna go get lieks on TikTok!" She's triggered to the moon... I feel bad that this is her life. This is the biggest moment of her life right here." - Jeremy Hambly Highlighted Comments: " Can't humiliate someone with no humility." " Insanity run amok. These people would kill you if they thought they could get away with it....

Album Review: Poison Arrows by Communique

Release Date: May 18, 2004

Website/Social Media: Bandcamp, Facebook

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.
