Going Nowhere Fast by Satanic Surfers

Okay, those are certainly two great bands to cite, but I don't hear any Misfits influence on this CD (excepting a hidden bonus track, "Evil 2," an homage to Danzig's solo material) and how they do get "Surfers" from "Hard-Ons?" The Devilish Dicks must have been their second choice.

Maybe coz they're from Sweden they don't know any better.

(I know what you're thinking: a) why didn't I mention this info from the bio earlier and thus avoid the need for a lenghty preface and dumb debate over the worthiness of a band name, I mean what do I care what their name is, and more importantly, what do you care what I think about the name when you are here to read a review and maybe discover a new band to listen to, and b) why can't I let it go. Well, a) it gave me on opportunity to wonder aloud about the importance of band names and cover art in today's information culture, and b) I'm officially letting it go...right...now.)

(Aside: What's with the Swedish punk scene? It seems like every new band I start listening to- Refused, Millencolin, now SS- is from Sweden. What's there to be punk about in Sweden? Maybe it's making those watches, with all those little parts and delicate accuracy, a lot of stress that needs release. Or maybe it's that world-political neutrality, all that repressed, unrealized war-mongering anger. No. Wait; watches and neutrality... That's Switzerland. Never mind.)

What's most amazing is that the two strengths of the Price of Darkness' Waverunners, drums and lead vocals, are performed by the same dude. In studio, this is no big feat. But live this is got to be something to see and hear, considering the complexity, speed, and energy of the banging and the quality of the singing (how does he keep his breath?)

All 14 songs are good. "Worn Out Words," "Wishing You Were Here," "What Ever," and "Big Bad Wold" are my favs. I especially like the labor-union political lyrics of "The ballad of Gonzo Babbleshit." Plus the title./ But my favorite lyrics are from "That Song":

I could write a thousand songs about my anger/ But it wouldn't change a thing in this world/ I know that for a fact but it makes me feel a whole lot better/ That's why I do this in the first place

That should cover it.

P.S. Checking the Board:

* clever ways to avoid writing Satanic Surfers over and over- 3 (Unholy Hang-Tenners, SS, Prince of Darkness' Waverunners)

* annoying references to the self-referentiality of websites- 2

* uses of the post- prefix or the word post-modern- 0 (the therapy is working (only ostensibly maybe, coz this review does not lend itself to using post- stuff; shh, don't tell my therapist, she thinks we're making "progress"))
