Kcuf"Modern Primitive Punk" Take a step back with this one. This is not your ordinary modern punk sounding record. This has an old punk vibe to it. Without sounding overly nostalgic. An immense debut release from Kcuf. 'MPP' has a total of 22 tracks that range from the 6 second classic, "Goldfish", to their epic and a bit more metallic sounding "Iron Priest" weighing in at 3:55. When Kcuf's old-school punk sound shifts into the "crossover" mode, they are very reminiscent to Suicidal Tendencies 'Join The Army' era. Well that's the first band I thought of. You can here the influence of G.B.H., D.R.I., B.G.K. And one without initials? Fatass or even Tri-State Killing Spree. Kcuf features freak show sensation Crazy 'White' Sean, Jeff 'T-Shirt'Myers and former Snot/Amen/Lo=Pro bassist John 'Tumor' Fahnestock. The bands also feature guest appearances both on the CD as well as in a live situation, Munky of Korn, Shavo of System Of A Down and Sid..0 of Slipnkot. Now boys and girls, I have and will really enjoy/ed this release. But I have to tell you that you probably won't be catching these guys on your local rock station. Remember, they're afraid of playing great music that most of us want to hear. No, you're going to have to get a copy of this one for yourself. They do have a MySpace page with 3 tracks posted for your listening pleasure. The address is below. So in conclusion, if you're into the old and gritty punk sound with those tinges of crossover to metal and plenty of energy, this debut release tops the list. Kcuf are a much needed breath of fresh air in a stale hardcore/metal core genre. And most important thing to remember, this is 'Modern Primitive Punk'. And a first-rate album to boot. |
