This is the final album from the sick and twisted noise punk band God Bullies before they disbanded. This is the most accessible album in their catalogue but it's still very bizarre and creepy. Mike Hard is the most intense and insane vocalist ever and he kinda scares me.

The Observers - So What's Left Now (2004)

Genre - Punk
Origin - Portland, Oregon

Time - 35:28 min.
File - 69.43 MB (320kbps)

Lead singer and primary songwriter Douglas Burns along with longtime friend and SPEDS bandmate Colin Grigson formed THE OBSERVERS. The intention of the band was to create a new voice in music that was true to the traditional punk sound of the 70's and 80's, while remaining contemporary and relevant. The band formed in 2002, but did not play their first show until March 2003 after settling on their first line-up, which included Muslim on guitar and Skeeter Joplin on drums. Together, this line-up recorded the "Down On Today" demo and the group's first vinyl release, "Lead Pill" (Super Secret). Later that year Muslim, and Skeeter left the group to pursue other interests. Hajji Husayn then introduced his cousin, Ian (Johnny) Kashani to THE OBSERVERS who then joined with Brett Ramone on drums. Shortly after that, they hit the road. Ramone and the group parted ways in 2003 and Mike of THE MINDS became the drummer. With extensive touring in the United States, Canada, and Europe in 2004 and 2005, the line-up of Kashani, Burns, Grigson, and Mike became the most recognizable line-up of THE OBSERVERS. In their time together, this line-up recorded the critically acclaimed records "So What's Left Now" (Vinyl Warning), "Walk Alone" (Jonny Cat), "Where I Stay" (Deranged), and the song "What A Let Down" featured on the MRR Public Safety Compilation. While in THE OBSERVERS, Kashani, Grigson, and Mike continued to play in other bands such as THE MINDS, CLOROX GIRLS, THE RAIDS, BLOODBATH AND BEYOND, RIOT COP, and THE MANHOLES. Eventually, they left THE OBSERVERS in 2005 to pursue these other interests. Grigson, Mike, and Kashani went on to form DEFECT DEFECT, but Kashani left the group soon thereafter. Muslim and Brett Ramone also formed a band together called THE INNOCENTS. Kashani formed CLIT RIPPER and played with Grigson in SELF ABUSE. Burns and Hajji formed the RED DONS who have been described by some as the continuation of THE OBSERVERS. The members of RED DONS also perform in an acoustic act called THE REVISIONS that plays THE OBSERVERS, THE SPEDS, and other original songs. (myspace)

Here's a great band I was obsessed with when I was younger, and this album is bringing back a lot of memories. This one is more punk then ska but they do have their share of the ska breakdowns which are pretty cool. I have a couple more albums and splits I can rip if anyone is interested, but I regrettably no longer have "Destroy What Destroys You" or "All Fall Down" which I really want and I have no idea what happened to my copies so If anyone has those, let me know.

I can't really put into words exactly what the replacements mean to me, but looking back, they were my youth. I was lucky enough to see them live twice and they were pretty much the best band on earth for years when they first started out. They knew how to have fun and they especially knew how to rock the fuck out. This is their first album and this deluxe edition has a buttload of cool stuff from when they were basically a garage band. ESSENTIAL. And oh yeah... I'm gonna be helping out here posting some of my non-metal favorites because I already have my own metal blog but I know plenty of other stuff, so.... let's GIT ER DONE!!! or whatever they say in Weeziana
