Glueman II by VOD Records

Local Denver Ol' Skool Punk Rawkers Glueman have some new music out on bandcamp today.

With 9 tracks and the longest clocking in at 2:09 and the shortest blowing up almost before the fuse is lit at 0:59 seconds, Glueman II is a fast and furious ride: lean, clean, and mean. It may prank you with a beer down your pants when you're not looking but it'll also be the first to step into the fray when the assholes start acting up.

Beyond the shouted jeremiads, buzz bomb guitar, knife in the back bass, and a guy who attacks his drum kit like he's beating Chtulu back into his hidey hole, Glueman come up with a couple of fine surprises. One is some strategically placed IED roadside guitar work that sounds like someone seppukued the guitar player, nailed one end of his intestines to a tree and then chased him around for awhile.

Also, there is a fine tribute to Chuck Berry, called, appropriately enough, 'Chuck'- slam dancing at the sock hop! Great fun! And there's a weird tune that echoes Joy Division lyrics and music called 'Born Loser'- can't figure it out but it's cool.

Give it a listen - you'll be more intelligent, gain muscle mass, and be far more attractive to whatever gender you consider yourself to be the opposite of! Guaranteed!
