about

Tony made it onto a Sinister Sam demo, and nothing came of it, so I took the fucker, added some parts, and viola!! Transformed, do you see?

Gary and I both used very small practice amps that were mic'd. I even think the metal zone pedal was involved. You can totally hear it on my tone (left speaker).

This punk etude tells the story of New York Tony living in a cardboard box with his asian girlfriend (Lin), who eventually burns the box down. Last riff has "box burned down" sang in the background. the mayhem at the end totally reminds me of a Zappa song. You got solos, yelling, singing, and that'll do ya!!

Gary encouraged me to swear lots. Speech in middle ad libbed. We just did it until we got it right. I'm not too keen on having every single fucking thing etched out. Let the shit breathe a bit.

lyrics

My girl, she is so nice
My girl, she cooks good rice
We live downtown, in a cardboard box
I'm her punk rock jock, she's my asian fox

Punkrocka (for days)
WONTON!

Today, she pierced her clit
She said it hurt, hurt a little bit
So I went to the store, stole her a rose
She cooked me some rice, and she pierced my nose

Punkrocka (for days)
WONTON!

I love you Tony you make me feel so good
My parents hate you, you're so misunderstood
We aint got much, one box, one penny, one dime
I love you Tony, I punk you rong rong time!

outro solos: Me, Gary (x2)

The sound created by the two is best described as Faith No More meets Strapping Young Lad meets Frank Zappa meets Meshuggah meets Pantera meets Mr. Bungle meets Korn, and a dash of jazz (and a slice of electronic dance). ... more

Whoa. Imagine having slugs coming out of your mouth like that. Slug slime probably has some healing medicinal properties. What would it do if it accumulated in the throat. Hail The Mother. Honor The Mother. Respect The Mother. ♥️💜💝 Michael

This album doesn't have guitar solos. It has guitar trips to outer space. Phenomenal! Mix the vocals louder! Shane Tølle
