Haven't done one of these in like a month. Been getting into a hardcore genre called powerviolence lately. It's hard, fast, loud, and a couple of times now has driven away some hicks who congregate under my porch from the shitty pop-country bar next door. Needless to say, I'm into it.

## Band of the Week: Mescaline Maniacs

From Sacramento, California, Mescaline Maniacs exude both power and violence. Their song Kill the Whites on the album Give Me My Face Back starts off with "Kill the fuckin' whites! Let's stomp these cracker fucks!" followed by a two quick "eeeeugh"s. Then there's about 40 seconds of "kill the whites" alternately squealed and growled, sometimes together, from the two singers in the band with some more "eeugh" for flair. It all ends with an audio clip I'm unfamiliar with warning someone that whatever they're carrying had better be food cuz they're about to eat it.

It's violent angry rage aimed at the global minority who runs our world. Unlike their boot licking worshipers would have us believe it is not in fact "the Jews".

Just a note for after my inevitable death at a Mescaline Maniacs show: I volunteered. Because there's no way I'm missing out the next time these mfers come to town. Kill me, it'll be a good way to go.
