the Bristles
NJ - '93?-'99?
Another 7" I used to have, and a band that often gets overlooked (especially by me, cuz I always scoff and think "they're no Bristles from Sweden" - the 80s pseudo-uk82 swedish hardcore band - which is a completely fucking stupid and unfair comparison. so listen to both. Also theres 'Bristle', and 'Bristles DC', and probably a ton of others that i won't give a fair shake.). This was the Bristles 2nd release, and it was on Milwaukee's own Beer City Records (still around... alotta material. gold mine of random 90's and early '00s music + then some). This band always seemed like they approx. 1 million records out, and as of just checking now it looks like i wasn't far off - 10 releases and too many comp. appearances - lot for a seemingly "forgotten" band. They had a good snotty NJ pogo thing goin on most of the time. Nice change of pace from a lot of the screechy Casualties/AGT/Unseen clones to come later.
The Bristles - "Pogo Til You Puke" '93 ep
Knox, Beer & Shouting Oi! - stupid "blog" about (sometimes even more stupid) music: 90's and early '00s, mostly american, "street punk" - a.k.a. drunk punk, chaos punk, pogo punk, spiky punk... punx punk.
