OLD SKULL "Get Outta School" (Restless)
1 guess this sort of stuff had to come along sooner or later; a punk/core
band composed of kids under the age of ten is one of those ideas that
straddles that thin line between a bad joke and something to cash in
on. Of course it has to be a punk/core band, unless the kids happen to
be very musically adept, because the stuff on this record, a noisy,
chaotic meandering of chords and cymbals packed with a lot of
screaming, can use better organization and/or timing. Sure, this stuff
sounds amateurish: so amateurish that it sounds good at times. When
one considers that this band is made of prepubescent kids with scaled-
down instruments, this album seems quite an achievement for those
still to be graced by puberty. Old Skull reminds me a bit of Happy
Flowers, and while lacking the Flowers' finesse(?), these kids have the
sincerity of being truly stuck below the age of ten, having to put up
with the rest of the grown-up world. In the end, one begins to wonder
whether this is all a big scam to use these kids to milk the public for
money. Oh, well, if Tiffany can make millions, why can't these kids?

MISSING FOUNDATION "Demise" (Humanity)
Distortion city! This latest offering from Missing Foundation is an LP
packed with grungy noise, heavily distorted and fronted with lung-
shredding vocals that are half screamed and wailed, something
remotely like Skinny Puppy's Nivek Ogre, but with even more
distortion. Side one seems to concentrate more on percussions
(sounding like someone banging on corrugated steel) while side two
has more to do with guitars distorted to hell. All this comes out at a
pace that is slow and ponderous, like a parade of the damned (or more
realistically, a building being demolished in slow motion). It's all
horrendously noisy, but the heavy noise and distortion curiously come
together with surprising force and continuity to be likeable. Shocking,
surprising, and altogether impressive, Demise almost seems to be the
perfect background music for a society falling to pieces. — H.K.
BORBETOMAGNUS "Seven Reasons for Tears" (Purge)
I really don't know why I like this album, but I think it has something
to do with the reason why I enjoyed Missing Foundation's Demise.
Although nowhere as apocalyptic or damning as Missing Foundation,
Barbetomagnus resembles in ways the Foundation sound. Composed of
two saxophonists, a guitarist, and a bassist, Borbetomagnus cranks out a
patchwork of hellacious sax butchery and guitar abuse through which
peeks almost unrecognizable pluckings of a bass guitar. Despite the
absence of percussion on this album, things manage to sludge past fairly
well without rhe forceful pounding of drums. Take the interlude ot Pink
Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive," add to it a handful of noise doodJes'
from Flaming Lips and Ciccone Youth, mix in a goodly helping ot
schizophrenic dementia, and the end product is not too tar from what
one might find in this album. In short, this is mindblow chaos: dump
your conventional musical sensibilities betore jumping into this album,
because you'll end up drowning in the noise. Seven Reasons tor Tears is
one good albumful of subtle, but intense headache music. — H.K.
