SHOCK TREATMENT


This 40+ minute test is a way more primitive animal than SHOCK TREATMENT's Scrumpy Jack demo posted last July. The chorus to "No More Censorship" sounds suspiciously similar to MISFITS' "TV Casualty" and, the cover of "Wild Thing" is even less essential than one might expect a cover of "Wild Thing" to be, but the sheer monotony of "Gorge and Vomit," the strangely appealing acoustic guitar in "Stone's Throw Away" and the earnest attempt at fury on "Waste Of Space" make this demo a total winner. I Can't Hear Fuck All is the epitome of a demo - rough around the edges (and in the middle, to be honest) punk rock in it's purest form, delivered with total earnest honesty. Sure, the RAMONES and PUBLIC IMAGE LTD. covers might be unnecessary, but punk is punk - and punk supersedes almost all that crap that you think is good, so you need to get into this shit right now.

I CAN'T HEAR FUCK ALL
