Besmirch and Destroy [CD]

Together for just over eighteen months, Tucson AZ's The Besmirchers have quickly made a name for themselves as one of the most explosive bands to emerge from the Sun Devil state. The band tapped into their decades of experience to create their raw, uncompromising brand of old school-inspired punk. Each of the album's 10 songs reflects the chaos of their legendary live shows and, just like their performances, feels like it could turn into a full-scale rock and roll riot on a moment's notice. True to form, the band has never played the same venue twice because, as one member put it, "After we play a venue, they don't book live music anymore." Standard Jewel Case.
