hahahahahaha I don't know why I even bother reviewing new releases from Suicidal Tendencies. I guess it's because I have so much time and amazing memories associated with the band, for better or for worse. It can't be anything else. I keep hoping for a "return to greatness" kind of thing from the band, not necessarily the greatness of the self-titled classic first album, but greatness more along the lines of 1999's Freedumb release maybe? I dunno. Songs like Ain't Mess'n Around (originally a Cyco Miko solo song) Get United and SED sound tired and forced, Authority sounds like a rejected Infectious Grooves tune, and the most criminal act on display on this album is the hugely underutilization of drum god Dave Lombardo's drumming skills. They are entirely wasted on this petri dish of bad musical bacteria. Brooks Wackerman was a better drummer for Suicidal Tendencies than Dave Lombardo is, but I guess you make the best musically with what you're given. Phooey. I don't know why there's 4 different versions of the title track Get Your Fight On on this EP but there is, one acoustic, one bass instrumental, one guitar instrumental, and then the original track from their World Gone Mad release that they put out a few years ago. AND, just to pile onto the musical mediocrity that this EP release is, they throw in a cover of Iggy And The Stooges classic I Got A Right - the first official cover song ever done by Suicidal Tendencies, so there ya go! 😁😁😁 Unless you're some sort of a Suicidal Tendencies junkie that needs to hear everything that the band has ever done, you can skip this release without missing out on a thing. Musical mediocrity at it's finest. Pass.

Oh man... L7 are back and thriving... that's a scary thing! ha ha
This digital only single was just released by the band last month I think, and it's a fucking scorcher. Little bit Stooges, a little bit Nazareth, a little bit Buzzcocks, and a whole lotta attitude, something they've always had in droves. They were gone for a while, and I guess they're back now, all original members, and if this release is a teaser for a new album from these L.A. stalwarts, then L7 has one Hell of an album up their tattooed, tattered and torn sleeves. The 'A' side, I Came Back To Bitch, sounds like classic Bricks Are Heavy era L7, full of crunchy guitars, snotty vocals, hooks galore and plenty of cowbell - YES! ha ha ha Loved that line in the song "You may stun me in the first round / But I'll kick your ass boy". 👍🏽 And the 'B' side of this single, Dispatch From Mar-A-Lago, is a direct jab at the pompous Cheeto in Charge, and it's definitely the better of the 2 songs on here. It's catchy as all gets, a bouncy bass riff powered pop song seeped in 60's girl group harmony vocals that will be stuck in your head for days. "Hey Bro / It's getting real at Mar-A Lago". hahahaha Fuck yeah! The bridge part or whatever it is on here is pretty fucking good. Well played. The production on here is fantastic, the guitars are loud, the bass is thumping, the vocals drip with venom, and the drum are hard hitting - what more do you need from an L7 release! LOL And it's only $2! I mean come on! A buck a song is not bad for 2 fresh L7 songs. Cool stuff. Looking forward to hearing more from the band real soon. 

This release is available everywhere, from L7's Bandcamp page (click here), to Apple Music (click here) Don Giovanni Records - on purple vinyl (click here) Spotify (click here) Amazon (click here) and everywhere else Punk music is bought and sold as the cheap disposable commodity that it is.
