BEAR PROOF SUIT Record available NOW!

[Criminaliq]

Keeping in line with our tradition of putting records out by bands no-one knows (except for you Milwaukee folk) or gives two shits about (yet), it gives me great pleasure to announce the arrival of our new baby girl the Bear Proof Suit 7"!

It's not up on our website right now cos I'm having some probs with the FTP server, so I'm announcing it here first and it will come out properly in October.

500 copies at $5.50ppd to me at criminaliq (at) hotmail (dot) com  will ensure you get your tender ears crushed by their awesomeness.  yeah yeah right.  I'm not doing any wholesale on em until next month.  Trades would be cool though so get in touch.

here's me write up ya.

Wisconsin. A state that has brought us off-kilter underground trailblazers like Die Kreuzen, Tar Babies, Killdozer, Couch Flambeau, and AluminumKnotEye now unleashes the next generation of this twisted family tree: BEAR PROOF SUIT. BPS not only manage to court an early 80s hardcore sound, but build upon it with some choice mid 70’s proto-metal riffage (like B.O.C. and Sabbath!) and a cool Wipers-like non-hardcore/psyche/surf groove attack (Note: The version of the Wipers “Upfront” on their debut 7” and is performed with as much drive and power as the original!). All of this is delivered with a monstrous wall-of-guitars blast intended from the start to blow speakers AND minds. An awesome feat from an almost impossible band. Their lyrical explorations are as relevant (who can’t identify with an issue like having bad credit?), as they are absurd (betting your soul against a microscope of gold that you can outwit God!). Wisconsinian absurd!

Not interested.

[Criminaliq]

Oui. J'ai aussi pensé que le Wisconsin a été fait après que les garçons catholiques fractionnent. Apparemment pas.

Viva La Costume de preuve d'ours!!

i'm glad i gambled $4 and bought this from you, great record. you pretty much nailed the description-minimal 80's hardcore with serious metaly power chords, so there's not much else i can say to review. the song after science is dead , i can't remember the name, but i've played it about 1000 times since last sunday. 

[Dutchman]

That song is "Sans Equity".  Epic shit.  Thanks for the love.

dear ryan,

if you got that mattress then i expect one of these as payment for said service

deal?

good.

-Cole

[Dutchman]

Dear Cole,
I didn't get the mattress--it wasn't there when I arrived so I had to buy Nickg's mattress for ten dollars.  You owe me ten dollars.  Or not.  Nice try, though.

[Scrod Prickknee]

The Wipers cover really does kick ass, Poison Idea style.

[Mark Pesci]

Poortenga, will you be at Eric's house for the show on Nov 17th or should I get one of these from that dirty Englishman while I'm in Chicago???

[Maltodextrin]

I ordered this based on the Poortenga connection and expect to receive it Saturday.  I am stoked yo.

[Dutchman]

I am stoked that you are stoked, Simon.  Please, Canadian Postal Service, don't let this man down!  We need postive reviews from recognized scene authorities ASAP!
