BDSX – (4 Song EP)
This band has Cindy from The Spoilers on drums, one of my favorite past local punk bands.
We will never speak of this again.
Johnny Black, I know from several bands, most notably The Tenafly Vipers. He’s on guitar and vocals.
And we will never speak of this again.
That is the title of the first song on this CD.
This is loud.
This is intense.
This is rock that has nothing to do with The Who, U2, ZZ Top or The Beatles,
This is the sound of you pressed against the windshield, maybe a car crash against your skull. This is power, guts, passion, emotion exploding out from your guts up into your throat, into your brain; seeping out of your eyes and other orifices spewing all remnants against the pavement.

I will never speak again about how this band rips my heart and soul out from its nether regions only to display its rampant configuration of sacrifice, heartache and ecstasy for all to behold.
The second song is called “I’m A Record Player, Baby,” and the vocal emits its venomous decree while the instruments roar on in an unhurried sheet of sound. The guitars let abandon reign while the vocals bleat passionately on, maybe like AC/DC and Motorhead jamming with Big Black. Then it’s hot shot big time passion in your face, take no prisoners, down your throat greatness.
[audio:https://www.thrashnbang.com/wp-content/music/02 Im a record player baby.mp3|titles=Im a record player baby]Did I mention that this is not punk? Did I mention that this is not metal? Did I mention that this is not hardcore? I will mention that this is rock as intense, full force, passionate, true and pure as the first music you ever heard of this type. This is heavy metal without the metal, hardcore without the core and punk rock without the punk. I love how on their facebook under genre they put, “Nope.”
We will never speak of this again.
Johnny and the other guitar player trade vocals- the passion, intensity, emotion, guts never let up. This is real, this is honest, this is what you expect of life that never delivers but Hey!- here it is.
“Suck My Pizza” is next, such a throwaway title, line. But here your “pretentious values” are bulldozed by a line of heartfelt trucks of passion crashing headlong onto each other on the highway as your commonplace notions are pulverized into a field of daisies, along with beauty pageants, popularity contests, parades and Better Home magazines. It’s demolished, baby, it’s gone!

“Lynn Marsh Road” is the last song on this EP. I could write about this song or about how I saw them open at a recent bill at the Midway and blow the roof of the club away.
They did a new song with the chorus, “I ate my dinner in the bathroom,” which was my favorite tune of the set, followed by a cover of Bo Didley’s “Who Do You Love” which sounded like how Iggy & The Stooges might’ve sounded like covering it circa 1970. They followed it by another great song that I can’t remember… I do remember that they destroyed me and pushed me to the wall with their awesome, aural assault of sound.
[audio:https://www.thrashnbang.com/wp-content/music/04 lynn marsh road.mp3|titles=lynn marsh road]Listening to this music I feel assaulted, I feel violated, I feel that they see that this is what I want, what I crave and need.
Check these guys out if you want to hear music that doesn’t fit into any slot that we or others like to neatly categorize unless you wanna tag them with “heavy music.”
This is power, this is passion, this is truth, this is expression and this is real.
This is what you want whether you know or believe it. This is louder than loud, realer than real, greater than great poised perfection.
I could throw out some words but why? Listen and experience as….
we will never speak of this again.
