Civilian - Unstable Times

  Civilian are from California and line up with Esu Vomita (vocals), Zach (guitar), Taylor (bass) and Oscar (drums). Last year they introduced themselves with a name your price demo and they followed it up with a single titled Unstable Times. They returned earlier this year with an ep, More Like ET. It's also available name your price and you can find it here :  https://civilianla.bandcamp.com/

  And aside from that I ain't got a clue. I can't find anymore info, no photos, no Facebook, nothing. So I suppose I better mention that the ep contains 5 tracks of shouty punk rock, pretty basic stuff but I enjoyed it. Especially the opening track and former single which features frontman Esu in fine form contributing some of the best wailing and screaming since Husker Du covered Eight Miles High. The guitar work was top notch too.

Wonder Bread - I Hate Punk Rock

 

  Today's song is one I played last year on the Just Some Punk Songs show but it's resurfaced again on a new 7" titled Complete Solid Gold Hits and this time around it's made it onto the blog. The ep highlights some of the band's best songs (plus there's a new song on there too) so it's a great way to introduce you all to Wonder Bread. You can find the 7" here :  https://digitalregress.com/products/wonder-bread-complete-solid-gold-hits-7

  Wonder Bread is the brainchild of Matt Ferrera. Not your typical punk outfit, the music is budget price electronica with a snotty attitude. The lyrics riff along the lines of "I hate punk rock, I hate Buzzcocks, I hate Ramones...." Also on the list of hated bands are the likes of Discharge, Black Flag, Wire, Void etc. Matt's not looking to appear cool, he thinks your favourite bands suck. He loves prog rock, if you don't like Steely Dan, you can fuck off. He's taking no prisoners, you're all fucking posers!
