CAPTAIN PLANET - HERE FOR HATE EP, 2009 ESCO ZOO MUSIC

CAPTAIN PLANET 

HERE 4 HATE CD EP 

2009 ESCO ZOO MUSIC EZM-WRECKZ-XX3

HERE WE HAVE THE SELF-RECORDED "HERE FOR HATE" EP, FROM ESCONDIDO, CALIFORNIA'S CAPTAIN PLANET, RELEASED ON ESCO ZOO MUSIC.  IT'S A QUICK BLAST OF FIVE FAST ANGRY DIY THRASH PUNK TRACKS.  THE EP CAME IN A HAND-MADE,  CUT-AND-GLUED PAPER CD SLEEVE (THE DASHED CUTTING LINES ARE VISIBLE, SIMILAR TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ART PROJECT), WITH SCRATCHY BALL-POINT PEN ARTWORK ON THE FRONT (PICTURED ABOVE), A TRACKLIST ON THE BACK, AND A FOLDED UP, PHOTOCOPIED LYRICS SHEET INCLUDED INSIDE.  VERY BASIC AND TO THE POINT.  THE DISCS WERE LASER-PRINTED CD-RS, AND MOST LIKELY LIMITED TO AROUND 100-200 COPIES, ENOUGH FOR "THE HOMIES" PLUS A FEW EXTRA LEFT OVER.  THE SONGS ADDRESS TOPICS LIKE ANGER, PREJUDICE, AND THE MEAT INDUSTRY.  UNFORTUNATELY THIS EP DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SONG ABOUT THE SECRET LIZARD SOCIETY, BUT IT'S STILL WORTH THE DOWNLOAD.  LYRICS INCLUDED.

TRACKLIST:

1. ANGER PROBLEM 

2. NO SELF CONTROL 

3. KILL TO EAT 

4. HERE 4 HATE 

5. YOU DON'T KNOW ME

MAN VS MAN - MEDIOCRE MESSIAH, ESCO ZOO MUSIC, 2009

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.

1. FROM FASHION TO FASCISM 

2. SHEEPLE 

3. THE CHURCH AND THE STATE 

4. MANUMISSION 

5. WHAT'S NEXT?

CAPTAIN PLANET HAILED PROUDLY FROM ESCONDIDO, CALIFORNIA, LOCATED ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR DRIVE NORTH OF SAN DIEGO.  THEY PLAYED RABID VEGAN THRASH PUNK.  ALTHOUGH THEIR LYRICS DEALT HEAVILY IN STRONG VEGAN ETHICS, THEY WERE NOT STRAIGHT EDGE, AND IT IS NOT EVEN CERTAIN THAT THE WHOLE BAND WERE VEGAN, OR JUST PHIL, THE VOCALIST.  THEY PARTIED.  THEY DRANK BEER, THEY SMOKED WEED (THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF THE PARTYING, THOUGH, SO IT WASN'T DANGEROUS OR EXTREME).  COORS LIGHT SEEMED TO BE A FAVORITE.  THEY RELEASED A SELF-RECORDED EP ENTITLED "HERE 4 HATE," ON VOCALIST PHIL'S OWN LABEL, ESCO ZOO MUSIC, AKA E.Z.M.-WRECKZ.  ESCO ZOO ALSO ASSISTED IN THE RELEASE OF BLOOD STAINED REALITY'S SECOND 7 INCH EP, "FUCK YOU GO DIE", IN LATE 2008 OR EARLY 2009, AND CO-RELEASED THE CD COMPILATION "PLASTIC FACT EATERS VOLUME ONE", WITH PLASTIC FACT RECORDS IN 2010 (ON WHICH BOTH CAPTAIN PLANET AND PHIL'S OTHER BAND, DEADITES REVENGE HAD ONE TRACK EACH).  THIS LIVE DEMO CD WAS RECENTLY REDISCOVERED IN THE ARCHIVES.  IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THIS RECORDING DATES FROM AROUND 2010, ALTHOUGH THAT COULD BE INCORRECT.  NO DATE IS LISTED ON THE FOLD UP COVER (WHICH IS JUST A HAND-WRITTEN, PHOTOCOPIED LYRIC SHEET).  THIS DEMO WAS RECORDED LIVE AT THE LEGENDARY BACK YARD VENUE THE YARD ON 17TH STREET AND IMPERIAL AVENUE, DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO.  THE CD ORIGINALLY CONSISTED OF TWO TRACKS, THE FIRST TRACK ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES, AND THE SECOND TRACK ABOUT SIX AND A HALF MINUTES IN LENGTH.  THE SONGS WERE SPLIT INTO INDIVIDUAL TRACKS AND THE VOLUME HAS BEEN BOOSTED.  THERE ARE A TOTAL OF SEVEN TRACKS OF RAW THRASH PUNK HERE FOR YOUR HYPERACTIVE THRASHING PLEASURE.
