I've got Pound For Pound (along with 1-2-3 and a bunch of rap) on my Mp3 player and everytime a P4P song comes on I turn that motherfucker up. It's such an awesome springtime Friday album. "Sunshine & Grease" might be the greatest thing ever, except for maybe "Small Thief", "Dr. Gone", and "Platinum Tips". I JUST WANT TO JUMP UP ON MY DESK AND BOOGIE.

plz excuse the name dropping here but this is really rather remarkable to me

i went over to my old friend andys who i never see cause hes always on tour w/some band or another the other nite after tripping balls at the boredoms and he showed me that last howling hex album cover was a photo of one of his tattoos and he wrote one of the songs

its far out as we were both totly obsessed w/royal trux in high school

anyway i made him sign one for me

winston, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:52 (sixteen years ago) link

that live clip is pretty sweet

winston, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:53 (sixteen years ago) link

way better than the studio version but maybe because of all the cyberflegm

winston, Thursday, 3 April 2008 01:53 (sixteen years ago) link

four months pass...

In school I thought these guys were like supernatural heroes and their music magical filth. I don't think my perception has changed a whole lot. Can't stop listening to Veteran's of Destruction today, but Pound For Pound is the one I got first so the one that still makes me giddy.

Disorder

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:36 (fifteen years ago) link

Sickazz Dog is Kickazz tho!!

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:38 (fifteen years ago) link

I just got the new TK Webb album and playing it made me want to pull out some Trux. I just listened to Pound for Pound. I pulled out Thank You as well.

QuantumNoise, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link

SMALL THIEF THEN!

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:40 (fifteen years ago) link

Veterans might be my favourite record by them, though lately i'm listening to "singles live unreleased" and it's awesome.
don't like pound so much i must say

Zeno, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:40 (fifteen years ago) link

I never really like Veterans before but it's really kicking my ass today

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link

it's their most accessible after Thank You, but it works fine.

Zeno, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:46 (fifteen years ago) link

Still, I don't remember Sickazz Dog being so weird! Who else actually sounds like this?

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:55 (fifteen years ago) link

Holy Shit! What is this?

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link

how is the Radio Video EP btw?

Zeno, Saturday, 23 August 2008 16:00 (fifteen years ago) link

i don;t know but i want it xpost

Zeno, Saturday, 23 August 2008 16:01 (fifteen years ago) link

its a comic book, I've thumbed through it. It has a lot of um, rambling word balloons about art theory from what I recall, pretty boring actually.

Shakey Mo Collier, Saturday, 23 August 2008 16:04 (fifteen years ago) link

That sounds so great!

tbh I'm nowhere near complete on this band. Largely due to me falling in love with them as a fifteen year old far far far from good record shops. It took about two months for my local to order accelerator for me, and I've never heard a note of Sweet Sixteen (why I was on amazon just there)

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 16:04 (fifteen years ago) link

In my head Sweet Sixteen sounds so amazing by the way!

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 16:06 (fifteen years ago) link

If I could record that album, oh man!

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 16:06 (fifteen years ago) link

"This giant 64 page comic features the crazed adventures of Royal Trux. "Like night janitors in the Temple of the Most High, they carouse through the psychic refuse of an unsuspecting nation. Whether playing rock and roll or fighting for justice in the realm of the unseen, they are known by one name: Royal Trux."

Zeno, Saturday, 23 August 2008 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link

awesome!

I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 16:13 (fifteen years ago) link

mizzell, Thursday, 23 October 2008 19:46 (fifteen years ago) link
