reducerssf.jpg (15133 bytes)Reducers SF, the punksters who created 1999's "Backing the Longshot," bring us another dose of aggressive, fast-paced punk for all to enjoy.  Songs like "No Control" are full of catchy chants and guitar riffs, while songs like "The Mill" pack enough energy to get you up out of bed and into high gear.  Like lots of punk, the lyrics are usually angry and somewhat against-authority.  "Empty Bottles" talks about drinking (The simple joys of one beer doesn't mean a thing/It's the fifteen after that you've gotta watch"), while "Pop Star" speaks of the downsides to being a pop phenomenon ("Hundreds at yer every command/Business deals, the future sealed/The dollar bin's the only place you'll be found".)  "Never Find Me" is another goodie that is sure to get your veins pumping.  This stuff is just enjoyable, rebellious punk music that all you punk kids can enjoy.  The day I listened to it I forgot to floss my teeth.
