about
There are 3 bands with this name. 1)Houston, Texas Psychedelic Punk Band 2) the more recent US band. 3) the now-defunt UK band of the 2000s The following description refers to the Houston band. 1) Over the last two years or so, the hardcore punk scene in Houston has been quietly dominated by a group of four young men: Beau Beasley, Tom Triplett (aka Tom of Montrose), Josh Wolf (no, not that Josh Wolf) and Chris Ryan. (Full disclosure: Beasley and Ryan are friends of mine). These four have amassed a collective resume that includes No Talk, Black Congress, the Born Liars, Muhammadali, the Secret Prostitutes, the Homopolice, KGBeasley and the Leather Violence, and the Energy, all of which are among the city's hottest punk bands, at least judging by the speed at which their singles go out of print. In addition, Ryan has recorded scores of punk and metal acts at Dead City Sound, Beasley has founded AG82 Records, and Wolf has been distributing records from a variety of underground sources. So far, however, this intertwined group of bands has not produced a full-length record, until now. Like Beasley's No Talk (with which it shares two members), the Energy, comprised of Wolf on drums, Ryan on bass, Triplett on guitar, and raconteur/friend-of-nice-people Arthur Bates on vocals, traffics in tight, dark punk-rock with edges as hard as steel. Triplett's torn-paper rhythm play and vicious, efficient solos are an impressive rejoinder to the shred-influenced work of grindcore veteran
