CHAOTIC MESS - Automatic Magazine Interview

This interview came from an AUTOMATIC SKATE MAGAZINE issue in 2005. The interview is done by non other than Badger from Caustic Uproar!

The Punk scene is a fucking Mess!

I have a hard time understanding what Punk Rock is nowadays, and I'm too full of pride to accept any band as a punk band just because they"meet the criteria" (i.e. distorted guitars and studded belts etc.) I'm just an old fucker who still believes Punk is a way of life. When I find a band that fits what my interpretation of Punk Rock is, I get amped and want to shove it into everyone's face. Chaotic Mess is one of those bands. Their music is spawned from "The Life". You can break shit to it, it makes people nervous, and will probably help you skate better. Oh, and don't let the name fool you, they kill it. The last gig I saw them play had punx pulling their teeth out, vomiting, and the pussies running for cover. Perfect. Some label them as a skate band, if so, they hold their own to any of my favorites. Fuck what I think though, I asked them ugly fucks a few questions. - Badger

For the uninformed, how would you describe Chaotic Mess?

A band that doesn't give a fuck about anything, we do what we

want. We're here to destroy your scene!

What are some of influences?

GG, D.R.I., David Allen Coe, any thrash, Nardcore, any old skate punk.

What's your idea of a perfect gig?

Free beer, money, people destroying shit and thrashing.

If you could make anyone or anything eat dog cock, who

or what would it be?

Everybody.

Last Words?

Fueled by hate, the skate, sluts, drugs, beer and thrash. Viva La Box Crew!

How do the sick get music and info?

SOME MORE SHIT TOO SEE

DIRTBAG LIVE IN BARSTOW


Been lagging on uploads due to shitty high winds and weather. So here is some old footage of Dirtbag playing in Barstow, CA. It's real crappy quality, but was interesting for me to find.

SOMETHING TO WATCH - GANG GREEN

I was youtubing it stoned and ran across this. Reminded me a litte of when I saw them the same year in Long Beach with Drain Bramaged. It was a good show except for the fact they cut Gang Green set short. But the 15 minutes they had were fucking worth it!!!

CAUSTIC UPROAR - In It For Life

Here is CAUSTIC UPROAR's final release Recorded by Dirty from Wanted Dead in October of 2007. I recently received a care package from Badger (guitar and lead vocals on all previous recordings) that came with copies of this album and shirts. When I lived in the North San Diego County area we would play together all the time. Since I moved to California Mojave Desert I haven't been up to date with the scene in that area as much and missed out on picking this release earlier. Since their is no distributor for them, done completley DIY, you have to get it directly from the band. This is a great fucking punk album from start to finish!!!!! The riffs, the vocals, the fuckin attitude is all there for the makings of one the best punk albums of the 2000's. These guys are punks playing music for the punks and damn proud of it! Check it out!!!

TRACK LIST:

1. Who's To Blame
2. Nazi Scum
3. Anti PC Generation
4. Liar
5. In It For Life

I would have paid for this no questions asked!

CAUSTIC UPROAR - demo

Caustic Uproar hailing from Vista , CA! First met these dudes when I was playing drums in North Counties "The Heathens". My buddy Adam and I were buying some cheap ass budweiser shirts at this Shirt Outlet when we ran into their singer Badger. Rolled over to us in his pickup with fliers for a show they were doing in Oceanside and introduced himself. Later that evening our band went to start practice at Goblin Studios in San Marcos. Turns out Caustic Uproar was practicing in the space right next to us. Right after that the shows together starting happening. These guys played their hearts out with every fucking riff and beat! Yelling in the mic with such fucking passion for the shit he has to say! Anyone who has seen em knows what the fuck I'm talking about. This is their second demo they recorded..still trying to locate their first.

Check it out!

1. War
2. So What
3. City For The Punx

KILL CITY - s/t

This band has been around a while with a few lineup changes, but always fronted by this kid Sean.They have a for sure old hardcore sound and the songs have sped up from when I originally saw them back 2004. Kill City seem to be one of those bands that lays low for little periods, then out of no where is fucking it up again. Kill CIty started playing when everyone seemed to be doing the generic street punk clone bands. Way stoked when I first heard these guys and to know we were having a show soon right after. You can get this at brainconstipation records ....it's a limited edition tape. I don't believe they have many left. If you like...try and get one before they're no more.

Tracks:
1. In My Chamber/The Silence
2. Graveyard Screams From A Neon Hell
3. Speculation

SPITTING ON COPS - (original demo)

If you don't already know....SPITTING ON COPS is an active hardcore punk band I am currently in. They started, I think, in 2004-2005. I remember the night before they recorded this demo. I convinced their drummer at the time to drive over to the city of Barstow and get wasted. We drank till about 6 am and he had to go record at 10 am. He was hungover as shit on these haha. Turns out to be me on drums these days along with bringing in my brother Mike too. On this demo they have Adrian playing guitar. This was never ment for proper release, but rather a giveaway CD at their early shows.....Most of the stuff was rerecorded later, with yet another drummer before me Mike Montoya (FECAL MATTER, DIRTAG, SET TO DESTROY). My brother and I have yet to record with the group but have been in the band longer than any of the cats on the recordings besides the CLUMZY and BIG MIKE. We finally are hitting the studio again in Two weeks to record 25 brand new tracks. Anyways hope you enjoy this old sloppy, drunk, simple demo SPITTING ON COPS did.

TRACKS:
1 intro
2 Spitting on Cops
3 Desert Rat
4 Drunk Punk Anthem
5 Kill and EMO kid
6 Michael Jackson
7 Paybacks a bitch
8 Santa Clause
9 Unity
10 Cops should be Crypts
11 Clamz

DRAIN BRAMAGED - Seven Course Meal

THE DRAIN BRAMAGED CREED

"This is the famous Drain Bramaged band. We know of no other musick produced by any other band which drinx so much this day and age. Our exclusive alcohol influenced musick produces a sight, a sound and experience you will find in no other band in any place!"

That was on the back of a business card the bass player Scottch gave to me when Dirtbag first played with them. Great band to see live. Lot's and lot's of heavy drinking, spitting on each other and anything else that could possibly happen when brain cells are being drowned. You knew when they were playing their was a party coming with it and that's why Dirtbag clicked well with these dudes. This is the latest release these guys did which is still old. I know they have recorded some stuff since but hasn't had a proper release. Go buy a keg and bump this while you skate around till you puke.

Tracks:
1 Intro
2 Power is bullshit
3 Piss you off
4 Sober man
