GUTTERMOUTH
Covered With Ants (Epitaph)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

With, and I quote: "beer in their hair and vomit on their toes", chug-a-lug punk pranksters Guttermouth unleash another offensive salvo to keep the politically correct tisking for another year. Covered With Ants is a smashing, drinking record that'll have Guinness coming outta yer nose as you thrash about to the thing called punk rock. This is the real deal, played raw, spirited and throbbing. As a closing curveball, Guttermouth wrap the record with a three part opus. "Cram It Up Your Ass" starts as a distant whisper with a teency bit of acoustic guitar before blowing up real good into an anthemic growl, and after a brief pause concludes with a rather impressive piano version of the refrain. The band in a nut shell: "I still believe in anarchy / pardon me but I have to pee." There ya go.
