Final Solutions--"Eat Shit" + 3
Theraputic 2002
First, the Oblivians folded and things sucked until the Reatards came along. Then, the Reatards split. It got dire, again. Who would next take the throne of Memphis-based bad intention? If you haven't heard it already, pick up this 7" from the Final Solutions--the answer lies within.
In a nutshell, the Final Solutions play straight-up, no bullshit, raw as hell punk rock. This stuff is so hatefully smartass, and perfectly so, it just gets better and better with each listen. In a grand sense, this could be thought of as in the same ballpark as the Reatards (Jay actually drums for this band) but the Final Solutions definitely have their own thing going.
The songwriting here is ridiculously great. The opening track, "Eat Shit," is a total winner, augmented by what sounds like one of those rubber band mouth harps. The opener on the B-side, "I'm A Victim" ("of your cunt") follows suit. This particular song is unique in that its catchiness only serves to elevate its snotty feel. The disc ends in a cackling lock-groove which closes things on an exquisitely hateful note.
Basically, if you want punk done right, the Final Solutions look to be your best bet. As sickly great as this 7" is, these guys are an even greater unstoppable force in concert--plenty of anti-hippie between song sentiment makes it that much easier to root for them. Word has it a full-length release is on the way and, after this flawless slab, it can't come soon enough.
