Broadcast Performances 7''
Life Is Abuse
2002
Rating: 6 sloppy chemicals out of 10
Total Shutdown were one of those Bay Area bands that my friend liked and the cool kids liked, but I could never get that excited about. They were hardcore crossed with skronky noise rock, and better live than recorded. Still, I bought this seven inch anyways just for the sake of nostalgia I guess. There are six songs here, and as this plays on 45 I guess you can figure out on your own this band isn't one for long songs. In fact, if I remember correctly 15 minutes was a long set by them. I guess the takeaway is if you don't like a song, you'll get to hear a different one in about a minute.
Side note - I'm impressed that a band that hasn't been active in a decade still has a working website.
