It appears as though Duane has got the US Bombs back on track with a new album called “We are the Problem” coming in February. Looks like more political punk rock from the master of punk rock politics. Look for a review soon. Cover Art>

Old Skars and Upstarts 505
Richard Hell…I really like a good crunchy sentence.
August 10, 2005
Old Skars and Upstarts 505 is the latest comp put together by the Master of Disaster Duane Peters. I own all of them and all of them rank in my top 10 all time best cd list. This new one, “the 505 edition” is no exception. It begins with the “Bad Lieutnants” doing ‘Arizona Love’ that kind of sets the pace for an in your face dose of punk rock from around the globe. The Hunns cover the classic VH track “Ain’t Talkin’ bout Love” and not only do it justice but actually make it better with Duane and Corey trading off on vocals throughout. AWESOME stuff! The Lizzies (feat. Corey) contribute “Baby Black and Blue”. I can’t wait to hear some more from this band. None of the bands on this cd disappoint. Instead they all give you a sense that punk rock is alive and well despite all the CRAP being thrown at everyone that is labeled “punk”. Mr. Peters knows good music period. Now, as if this incredible comp cd isn’t enough, he has organized a tour featuring a lot of the bands on this edition of Old Skars. [more inside]

Howling Diablos
Stupidity is not a handicap.
April 26, 2005
Howling Diablos have just released CAR WASH on Alive Records and if you are a fan of gritty grungy smokey nightclub blues this cd will not disappoint. The music drives the vocals and the vocals drive the music all through this cd. As some of you may have figured out, I review music as I listen to it..for the first time. Bands either hook me on the first listen or I file it away. This cd is getting a slot in the MusicFilter cd jukebox for sure. They hooked me on the first song, “Car Wash”. Tino Gross sings like the blues vet he is and the band has got incredible tone that a lot of “blues bands” seem to lack.
Produced by Tino Gross, this cd has a fresh feel that melds great with the natural blues sound the Howling Diablos crank out. Tino has also produced recent releases by RL Burnside and his fresh blues sound is evident in those releases as well. As usual the cool guys over at Alive will let you download a couple of tunes to sample so be sure to check these guys out. Listen and then go buy this cd. You ain’t shit unless you listen to Rock and blues like this. On a side note, the cover is extremly cool. It makes me want to go to Detroit, get a tune up and catch some great blues.(Howling Diablos website!)

The Konks
Richard Hell…I really like a good crunchy sentence.
March 14, 2005
The Konks have just released a full length CD… via BOMP!. The Konks ‘play with cheap guitars and two lousy drums’ and with this arrangement they pull off a rockin’ garage band sound that may be unsurpassed by any other ‘garage type’ band out there today. The gem of this disc though for me is the last song which is a cover song. “Let the music do the talkin'” is credited to “Aerosmith” but is actually a Joe Perry penned song that he wrote and recorded on a solo album when Aerosmith was broken up and then re-recorded with Aerosmith on the “Done with Mirrors” LP that was released right before “Permanant Vacation”. Enough about Aerosmith though.the Konks make this song their own and they definatley own it after just one listen.
This is music you feel when you listen to it. Go get a copy of this CD, grab yerself a Jack & Coke, crank it up to 11. This is great music.

Die Hunns “Long Legs”
Another BMF Album Review
Cannabis intoxication will not cause permanent brain damage.
May 29, 2004
Some Music get better each time you hear it…… this is especially true for The Hunns latest CD “Long Legs”..when I first got this CD I was sure I had a disc that was one of the best I’d heard. I listened to it relentlessly for about 3 weeks. I let a few weeks pass and qued it up tonight again. I heard stuff I didn’t hear the first time. This may be cliche but I don’t give a FUCK. This CD is inCREDIBLE. There are so many little hidden gems of musical influences of the band that I did not notice before. When you first hear this CD you will think you hear the little things I’m trying to describe .. but trust me….give it a break..come back to it and play it loud…. you will hear things u didn’t before and it will only get better…
I haven’t decided yet if it is THE HUNNS or Duane’s voice that create this ultimate PUNK ROCK FEELING….maybe it is a bit of both….he is a known legend in is time and cirlce….did Corey bring something out in him or am I just now discovering Mr. Peters incredible voice.????more to follow

Damn you write the best reviews when you are sucking vodka.

It’s 2:17am on 8/26/20 and I’m laying in bed at the log cabin restoring this page on a I-phone because I randomly clicked on a dead link that I’ve probably never clicked before, but I had to fix it. Day and night has been 57 over and over. You made me cry today missing you. But it helps me feel so never stop. I feel you baby. So anyway this review was posted on the original MusicFilter website in 2004 before things got so fancy with pictures and youtube (which did not come around until 2005). MusicFilter was a true blog and just a collection of daily words and thoughts. I’m so grateful it was archived and still exist. It’s crazy how you think you remember but really you don’t, and then you are reminded by just a few crazy words typed in on a given day. And all that memory comes back about the intensity we had going and we were just living and having fun. God I miss your kiss. ~mc~ #57bmf4ever

I’m adding some fluff to this restoration post so I can have a nice pretty link, but below is how MusicFilter appeared in 2004. It was originally delicious.

Flipper “American Grafishy”
Richard Hell…I really like a good crunchy sentence.
October 25, 2003
I recieved “Flipper – American Grafishy” in the mail today…. after looking for an mp3 i used to have of -fucked up once again- by Flipper for about a month I finally decided it was time to buy this CD. I bought the entire CD only knowing and caring about the song –Fucked up once again– and even if the other songs had sucked I would still be happy with it. I should say though that the other songs on -American Grafishy- DON’T suck making this CD a great purchase for any Flipper fan or any fan of slow groovin’ punk rock. You can listen to a streaming copy of Fucked up once again here.
