\"Thorazine
Thorazine – Vicious Cycle (Hell Yeah HELL 45, 1998)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Philly Punk – now that is unique: I can not really recall many bands from there – “Flag of Democrazy” and “Ink&Dagger” are two i have on record, but else? But, that does not count, as Thorazine are a heavy hitting slab of Punk fucking Rock – they are from Philly so Philly has something! They actualy spend only a short life, 2 Records and a couple of tours but this record summs it all up neatly!<\/p>\n

The verdict:<\/p>\n

1977 \u2013 indeed, this is Punk Rock with a captial R!<\/em>
\npublished by a cool lable \u2013 Hell Yeah, part of the Dionysus Empire – sure thing!<\/em>
\nfound in a cool shop \u2013 Drugstore!<\/em>
\ncatching sound \u2013 without any fucking doubt – driving, good hooks, great stops\/breaks and cool female vocals – i do not need more!<\/em>
\nThe lyrics \u2013 Truth or dare i’d say, fucking cool, fucking unpunk!.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Thorazine is a Nazi punk’s most confusing nightmare. Fronted by a woman and backed by a Jewish bass player, Thorazine’s brand of melodic early hardcore leans toward a harder, faster Ramones with frenetic hints of Motorhead. Their hyper-kinetic punk is a tribute to the stripped-down, furious, two-minute anthems. Not unlike the anti-psychotic drug that is their namesake, the result is therapy for the angst-ridden.<\/em>” (Geeta Dalal in Philadelphia City Paper 07\/97)<\/p>\n

“We’re not “the beautiful people” from Melrose Place” or something. You’re looking at real, everyday people when you stare into these faces. Most adults 25 years and up look at us and remember when bands looked like us all the time. We were “the look.” Now that everybody looks like non-threatening skinny wimps still wet behind the ears, WE SCARE THE SHIT outta most kids that show expecting another band that looks like Offspring. We were called “greasy, sleazy, sweaty people who play nasty music” in one article. This is generally how kids see us. We must be threatening in some way, shape or form, because we’ve never been stiffed on our money. Even in clubs notorious for it. There was one night here in Philly where the management had to tell us that we generated no cash and when I was being filled in, they called the bouncer over. He was shuffling his feet and rubbing the back of his neck nervously instead of me!<\/em>” (Dallas, the drummer, in an interview)<\/p>\n

Why the quotes? Because beauty and real gems speak for themselves!<\/p>\n

My favorite songs has it all and has a simple message with respect to being happy:<\/p>\n
