Excellent Collection of Otherwise Hard-to-Find Material

"The New Bomb Turks rivaled only black market Misfits 45's with their barrage of 7-inch's and EP's released in the 90's. This is a collection of B-sides, alternate versions, and compilation tracks spanning from the band's beginning through their first two major releases, "Destroy-Oh-Boy" (1993) and "Drunk on C*ck" (1994). See "Switchblade Tongues & Butterknife Brains" and "Big Combo" for later collections.



Most of the songs mesh well and are fast and punchy like those on the "Drunk on..." EP. Included is Spinnin' Clock, which was the highlight of the "Destroy..." LP, but was switched out for the annoying and slow Cryin' in the Beer of a Drunk Man song on re-releases. There is one downside, however. Most anyone who kept up with the onslaught of Turks vinyl will notice the absence of the classic disco-rock Devil Dogs covers."

What 1990's punk rock is and should be.

"A compilation of many of the 'Turks singles, Pissin' Out The Poison is a must for any fan of REAL rock 'n roll. The songs barrel out of your speakers and crush you beneath their overpowering force. Faster than the Ramones, harder than AC/DC and more out of control than Iggy, yet with a connection to Rolling Stones style basic rock 'n roll. The 'Turks have properly reclaimed hardcore punk from heavy metal/thrash to its rightful home in the garage."
