There’s just no arguing about Piss Test. These Portland snot-rockers are so perfectly punk about everything they do, I can hardly stand it. Every song on this album is catchy and hilarious and mean spirited in the best possible way. The Dwarves got old, man. These dudes are going to implode majestically before that shit ever happens to them.

Came from the sky like a 747. Classic Rock’s least-reputable byline-grabber since 2003. Several decades deep into the music industry. Got fired from an early incarnation of Anal C**t after one show. 30 years later, got fired from the New York Times after one week. Likes rock and hates everything else. Still believes in Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction, against all better judgment.
