MAN VS MAN 

MEDIOCRE MESSIAH - 2009 CD 

ESCO ZOO MUSIC - EZM-XX3 

MAN VS MAN BEGAN AS A THREE-PIECE PUNK MATH ROCK BAND IN EAST SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WITH DALE HOLLAND ON BASS AND VOCALS (WHO WOULD LATER JOIN DEATH CRISIS, DIVERGENT, BLEAK SKIES, AND MEAGER), JUSTIN MARITONI ON GUITAR AND VOCALS, AND AARON MCQUEEN (WHO WOULD GO ON TO PLAY FOR THE LEGENDARY SAN DIEGO D-BEAT BAND DIATRIBE).  THEY SEEMINGLY CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND BLEW THE SAN DIEGO PUNK SCENE AWAY WITH THEIR COMPLEX UK-INFLUENCED ANARCHOPUNK JAM-BAND STYLE.  THEIR SOUND WAS PRACTICALLY A FUSION BETWEEN IMPROVISATIONAL JAZZ AND RAGE-FILLED POLITICAL PUNK ROCK.  THEY RELEASED A DEMO CALLED "THE OPPOSITION," WHICH IS A RARE FIND THESE DAYS.  EVENTUALLY, MAN VS MAN RELEASED THIS EP "MEDIOCRE MESSIAH" IN 2009 ON ESCO ZOO MUSIC, RECORDED AND MIXED BY ROB LOGIC, AND MASTERED BY JEFF FORREST AT DOUBLE TIME STUDIOS.  IT WAS A LIMITED RELEASE AND IS LONG OUT OF PRINT.  AFTER A FEW YEARS, MAN VS MAN ADDED CHEYANNE ON LEAD VOCALS, AND RELEASED A SELF-TITLED CD EP IN 2013 AND A LIMITED CASSETTE EP TITLED "LIVING IN A DYING WORLD" IN 2014.  THE DIGITAL VERSIONS OF THOSE RELEASES CAN BE FOUND ON THEIR BANDCAMP PAGE.  "MEDIOCRE MESSIAH" CONSISTS OF SIX ORIGINAL TRACKS (ONE OF WHICH, "SOCIAL GLOVE," WAS ON THE PLASTIC FACT EATERS VOLUME ONE CD COMPILATION), PLUS A COVER OF "CONTAMINATIONAL POWER" BY CRASS (LISTED AS "CONTAMINAL POWER").  THE LATTER TWO SONGS ARE NOT LISTED ON THE TRACKLIST OR LINEAR NOTES.  THIS EP IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE BANDCAMP PAGE, BUT IS A CLASSIC RELEASE WHICH CAPTURES THEM AT AN ESSENTIAL STAGE IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT AS A BAND.

RABID DECEPTION 

DEMO CD, 2010 

IN 2010, SHORTLY AFTER FORMING, RABID DECEPTION GOT TOGETHER WITH PATRICK MARSH (EX-MACHINE'S AGENDA, MOTHER RUSSIA) IN NOVEMBER, 2010 TO HAVE HIM RECORD THESE FOUR SONGS.  THEY RELEASED IT ON CD, AND DISTRIBUTED IT TO FRIENDS AND AT SHOWS.  THE AUDIO QUALITY IS PRETTY GOOD, AND THE SONGS ARE SOME GREAT RIPPING ANGRY PUNK ROCK.  THREE OUT OF FOUR OF THESE SONGS ENDED UP ON THEIR SELF-TITLED 7 INCH EP. (RUMOR HAS IT THAT THE BAND HAD GONE INTO THE STUDIO FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE 7 INCH EP AND RECORDED ENOUGH MATERIAL FOR A FULL LENGHTH, BUT BROKE UP BEFORE THOSE SONGS HAD A CHANCE TO BE RELEASED.  PERHAPS IF WE'RE LUCKY, SOMEDAY THAT FULL LENGTH WILL SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY IN SOME FORM.)  THIS CD IS NOT BAD FOR A DEBUT DEMO.

HELL)  MOVED TO OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA (AND WENT ON TO FORM ABRUPT, RESPECTIVELY).  THE REMAINING MEMBERS, ZANE ON GUITAR, MARC ON BASS, AND CARLOS ON DRUMS, RECRUITED CHA CHA FROM THE BAND IT WAS A FIREFIGHT TO FULFILL VOCAL DUTIES.  THIS OUTFIT QUICKLY BECAME A STRONG FEMALE-FRONTED FORCE IN THE SAN DIEGO SCENE AND HAD SERIOUS LONG-TERM PLANS TO BECOME MORE WIDELY PREVELANT THROUGH TOURING AND CONSISTENTLY RELEASING MATERIAL.  UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ULTIMATELY ONLY ENDED UP RELEASING A FOUR SONG CD DEMO, AND THIS SELF-RELEASED 7 INCH EP FROM 2011.  EVENTUALLY, THE BAND SPLIT DUE TO INTERNAL DIFFERENCES AND TOO MUCH SELF-IMPOSED PRESSURE TO  PRIORITIZE THE BAND ABOVE PERSONAL LIVES, WHICH IS A SHAME, BECAUSE THEY WERE A POWERFUL LIVE ACT AND HAD A LOT OF UNTAPPED POTENTIAL.  ONE TRACK OFF THIS EP, "TANSY PILLS," WAS FEATURED ON THE PLASTIC FACT EATERS VOLUME 2 CD COMPILATION.

BOMB SHELTER KIDS 

DEMO CASSETTE, 2000 (SELF-RELEASED) 

THE BOMB SHELTER KIDS WERE A '77-STYLE PUNK ROCK BAND FROM EAST SAN DIEGO COUNTY, ACTIVE FROM AROUND 1998 OR 1999 UNTIL 2000 OR 2001.  THEY PLAYED SEVERAL SHOWS AT LOCAL BARS AND ALL AGES VENUES, INCLUDING  SHOWS AT THE RECORD STORE SPASTIC PLASTIC, LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE EMPIRE CLUB (LATER RE-BRANDED CLUB XANTH), ON THE CORNER OF EL CAJON BOULEVARD AND 30TH STREET, AS WELL AS THE DIVE BAR THE PLAYHOUSE, (LATER THE BEAUTY BAR AND NOW THE TIL-TWO CLUB), LOCATED ON EL CAJON BOULEVARD AND EUCLID AVENUE (BOTH LOCATED IN NORTH PARK, SAN DIEGO).  THEY SHARED THE STAGE WITH BANDS SUCH AS NOISEGOD, THE DRATS, THE SHITGIVEITS, AND RUN FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFE.  THIS DEMO WAS RECORDED ON A FOUR TRACK CASSETTE RECORDER WITH A FOUR CHANNEL MIXER, SO THE QUALITY IS PRETTY DECENT, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.  AN OLD DUBBED COPY WAS SAVED AND TRANSFERRED TO A COMPUTER USING A BASIC TAPE DECK WITH AN RCA LEFT/RIGHT TO 1/8 INCH JACK CABLE, PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO THE COMPUTER'S MICROPHONE INPUT, SOMETIME AROUND 2003 OR 2004 (WAY BEFORE THE ERA OF AFFORDABLE CONSUMER-GRADE USB AUDIO INTERFACES).  SMALL EDITS HAVE BEEN MADE TO CLEAN UP THE TRACKS HERE AND THERE, BUT OVERALL THE DEMO HAS BEEN LEFT UNALTERED.  ONE TRACK TITLE WAS CHANGED ("NOWHERE TO GO"), BECAUSE IT WASN'T LISTED ON THE HAND-WRITTEN CASSETTE COVER, AND HAS BEEN LOST TO MEMORY.  SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS DEMO ARE THE SONGS "CORPORATE PUNKS," "SWEET ANGEL," "WORK," "YOU POINT THE FINGER (AND WE GET THE BLAME)", AND "CAN'T DRINK ANYMORE." APPARENTLY THE MUSIC FROM "YOU POINT THE FINGER (AND WE GET THE BLAME)" WAS STOLEN BY FORMER BASSIST JAROD AND MUTATED INTO THE SONG "WRAPPED IN SHAME" BY DREADED SOLUTION (OOPS). IT'S A FAIR POSSIBILITY THAT THIS WILL BE RELEASED ON BRIAN SPECULUM'S BIRDEATER RECORDS IN A VERY LIMITED RUN OF CASSETTES IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT THAT'S NOT GUARANTEED.  IF AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THIS ENTRY WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO ORDER A COPY.
