The Punk that LA Forgot: Part V
The Zeros: Don't Push Me Around
Still on this bitch. This time The Zeros. I see them described as the Mexican Ramones. Sounds good. I can't seem to figure out if this is their debut album that wasn't released until years later or just a compilation of old material. Whatevs. I'm done beating my head against the internet.

Yeah, definitely like The Ramones. They seem to be taking an interesting (I'm using that term loosely) approach though. Whereas your average Ramones ripoffs take that band and speeds it up even further, these dudes seem to have put the brakes on a bit and end up sounding pretty heavy. It doesn't hurt that this release has definitely been remixed. No way they had the money for this good of a production. Notions of production purity aside, this is some borderline fantastic stuff.
Yeah, I've listened to the whole thing a couple of times now and it definitely rules to the max. If these guys weren't so close to The Ramones then I imagine that they would be much more known. Still, much love.
