Great album a little disappointed Penalty Box was not on it but other than that there's not much that can be criticised. Fun upbeat and catchy music with very thought provoking lyrics.
Bobot Adrenaline sounds a bit like a mix of the Dead Kennedys and Pixies

History may yet be kind to George W. Bush, but Bobot Adrenaline will never be. Replete with Bolshevik—nay, FRENCH Bolshevik—artwork and the articles for W’s impeachment in the liner notes, this angry CD is to the left of everything. These “persons of interest” are tightly wound, politically unhinged, and there’s a big fat file on them somewhere. But it’s still nice to hear an LA punk band pissed off about more than being an LA punk band.
This really shouldn’t work. In places it does. At six cuts and only 20 minutes long, Bobot Adrenaline wisely makes their point and then GTFO before things get old.
Radio Tikrit’s jumpy take on pre-invasion propaganda piped into Bagdad is an earworm. \"Small World\" won’t get it out, and your first scrips may not either. And that’s not even be the best song on the CD—that goes to \"School of the Americas\" or \"State of Affairs\". Your call, there.
Pepper Berry’s vocals are more rhythmic screed than actual song, befitting material ranging from Coca Cola’s cadmium-laced fertilizer in India, Pakistani arms deals, and –wait for it— Halliburton war contracts. The lyrics might just send you to Google— or not. So it’s a good thing that Corey MacGregor and Brian Panzeri’s rhythms are impossibly tight, because the hooks and subject matter hit from weird angles that bear repeated listens.
Be prepared—you could be that guy who wakes up to politics, and no one will listen to you until you loan them this CD. And then you’re gonna have to ask for it back.
PS. Lest you think I’m a Bobot shill, I’d tattoo Bobot lyrics on my chest, sans irony. My friends trained Contras, and I legally can’t tell you about my job. Who Would Jesus Bomb (WWJB)? Syria. (Hey, somebody’s gotta keep the world free enough for music like this).
