Fourth full length release from these Tucson, Arizona punk, garage, surf, rock maniacs.

Not doing much this morning, just checking out an advance copy of the new The Distortionist's album.
I give it 5 flaming devil horns!!

Past reviews:

The Mark Side of the Dune CD:
This local trio injects a glorious variety of punk styles into its full-length debut album. Garage rock, proto-metal, psychedelic thrash, Batman-meets-spy movie rave-ups, surf punk, atonal experiments and herky-jerky art-squall are among the mad flavors that come at you like a rampaging jukebox on steroids. The Distortionists prove that ADHD can fuel creativity, romping through 23 tracks in less than 50 minutes.
The band doesn't limit itself to its power-trio instrumentation. Guitarist Mike Panico plays a little flute, drummer Taylor Hardy contributes theremin, and bassist John Hayes tosses in some banjo. All three members sing, and are surprisingly versatile, occasionally sounding like pioneering punk vocalists such as Jello Biafra, Johnny Rotten, Keith Morris, Pete Shelley and Dave Vanian.
There are short-jab novelty numbers, such as "Lunch Junkie" and "Don't Eat Paint," no-wave-influenced surf sounds in "Sand Crab Dip" and "Nonstrumental," and artsy indulgences like the relatively epic-length (3 1/2 minutes) "Kick You in the Face With My Size 10 Buster Browns," which lurches and lunges like a combination of Black Flag and Big Black. The album begins and ends strong, with its last two cuts as good as what came before. One of the best tunes is the penultimate "In the Can," on which Panico peels out on guitar, and that grinding closer, "This Is Tucson, Not L.A.," ought to be the Old Pueblo's new anthem.
Gene Armstrong (Tucson Weekly)

The Lizard of Oz CD:
17 tracks of a Tucson blend of desert rock mixed with good ole fashioned punk rock! The music is rough in a refined sort of way. In some ways, The Distortionists remind me a bit of the band The Dicks, but with out the hard edged sound and politics. Anyhow, that's what I was reminded the first time that I saw them a couple of winters ago.
With this CD, The Lizard Of Oz, we're treated to more of the same goodness that I once saw so many nights ago in deserted biker bar on the South Side of Tucson. And some interesting cover art also. I believe its a form of Godzilla attacking a city made of cactus in the middle of the desert? Pretty cool and accurate!
The music is at a medium pace, with, you guest it- lots of distortion in the guitars. It really brings out that old school punk feel to it. The vocals really stand out, a strong voice that can be heard clearly over the instrument. In other words, the album is wonderfully mixed and everything sound (quality wise) exactly how it should.
Again, this is a really good album, it definitely has the old school sound and will keep you rocking and rolling all night long.
Mickey Sixx Robinson (Scenes from the Underground)

You sick bastards.. you should be ashamed. This music encourages all sorts of . . .
