Reviews & Opinions

JEFF BALE, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #2, SEPTEMBER 1982: Here is one record that forces me to wax philosophical. If ever a release reflected the ying and yang of the punk scene, this is it. In one corner is MIA, a band originally from Las Vegas, the champions of punk's positive side. They'vel managed to fuse a super tight thrash sound with enlightened attitudes - "I Hate Hippies" is obviously meant as a satire with a moral - and the results are absolutely stunning. In. the other corner is New Jersey's GENOCIDE, who exhibit all the mindlessness attributed to "punkers" by straight society. A dirty, metallic guitar and some catchy tunes can't disguise their blatantly sexist ("Period", "Teenage Girls"), reactionary messages. I only hope MIA doesn't suffer too much from guilt by association.
