Guttermouth For over ten years now, Californian five-piece band Guttermouth has amused and disgusted us with their offensive I’m sure fans will remember Guttermouth’s previous release, Gusto in 2002, but not for a good reason. The band was pretty much bagged out for releasing such an album. Guttermouth themselves even bagged their own album at shows and didn’t play material off of it. The band experimented with country and pop sounds, which just didn’t work. One of the songs sounded like the B-52’s (but worse). While Gusto had a few decent Fortunately Eat Your Face sees Guttermouth return to their trademark sound. There are no keyboards or violins here, just straight up politically incorrect punk rock, which I’m sure will come as a relief to a lot of people. Its musical pace is definitely what you would expect from a typical Guttermouth release, with all the hilarious lyrics to go with it.
The problem with Eat Your Face is that while the lyrics are much the same as any Guttermouth song off any album, the quality of the songs, musically just isn’t as good. While Eat Your Face is a better album than Gusto, it just doesn’t come close to the brilliance of some of Guttermouth’s ‘90’s albums like Musical Monkey or Gorgeous. It will be interesting to see how the album is received and where the band go from here. XROXX Album Rating: XXX (3 X’s out of a possible 5) Kristie Batten

brand of punk rock. Well, crazy frontman Mark Adkins and his band are at it again with their tenth album Eat Your Face, out now on Epitaph/Volcom.
songs, overall the album sucked and it shocked a lot of fans. So it was always going to be interesting to see what the band came up with this time around, and if they could win their old fans over again.
There aren’t many people or groups that don’t come under fire on Eat Your Face. The American electoral system gets the criticism on "Party of Two (Your Table is Ready), while surf wannabes cop it on "Surfs Up Asshole." "NRAA" is about alcohol and partying, while "Second DUI" is about what can happen if those things get out of hand (although Mark’s fake accent on this song gets really irritating).
