Product Description
These are strange and dangerous times. War. Weak economy. Weapons of mass destruction that are missing -- or weren't there in the first place. Debilitating gasoline prices. World leaders we have no faith in. A populace that feels too disenfranchised to even hope it can affect change.
What's a punk band to do in the wake of all this? The brave ones 'Rise up!' as The Suicide Machines declare on their new album, War Profiteering is Killing Us All, and let 'em know that it ain't over 'til...well, maybe it'll never be over, and the long-lived quartet serves notice that it'll never stop fighting, either.
But as frontman Jason Navarro notes late in the album, 'This is no manifesto. This is no propaganda.' War Profiteering... is, in fact, a typically ferocious listening experience for the Detroit crew, a collection of 14 battle hymns that gallop by in half an hour with more adrenalin than you'll find in an average hospital emergency room. Dan Lukacinsky's guitar leaps from metallic thunder to ska syncopation. Bassist Rich Tschirhart and drummer Ryan Vanderberghe turn tricky dynamics on a dime, without so much as a stutter step. Navarro and Lukacinsky make their lyrical points with passionate gusto, and completing each other's arguments like you'd expect from two men who have been making music in this setting for the past 14 years.
