CD, "Thwak, Thwak, Go Crazy" which been picked up for release by indie

the band (Geza X and Paul Roessler were behind the board for this record
after all), there is also defy boy/girl vocals a la LA's X and for fans
of The Jam and Cheap Trick...you'll be very please when you hear this CD
too. Without a doubt, this is a band who subscribe to the Tap'ian notion
of �Have a good time all the time,"[see full story for more]-

| Bloodhound
Gang Doesn't Give A Damn |
Day in Rock reports: The Bloodhound Gang just
doesn't give a damn. That is to say, collectively, their music reflects
the motto, which is printed in every album, "No reason to live, but we
like it that way." Their music is asinine, appealing to the basest of juvenile
instincts. They are lewd, vile, and degenerate. Through their lyrics they
manage to offend everyone: they are culturally insensitive, totally politically
incorrect, anti-social, ignorant, nasty, sullied, sordid. They even attack
their own ilk. They have no greater aspirations and have no intentions
of evolving into a better band. They hate their fans, and their fans hate
them. Their fan base is a bunch of socially-ill adjusted freaks. Even their
official website - which serves as their fan club - is dubbed the "Bloodhound
Gang Cyber Hate Club" (www.bloodhoundgang.com).
The new CD Hefty Fine comes out next Tuesday
and has already caused an uproar over the content of the first single "Foxtrot
Uniform Charlie Kilo," causing radio stations to ban the song. You can
see why the video will probably be banned by MTV too.-
