SPIT FOR ATHENA
Much has been said about the genius of Spit For Athenaıs hardcore disguised as pop in their native Michigan since they started four years ago, and, love it or hate it, this record validates every word of it. The follow up to 2004ıs "Extermina" on Eyeball Records, "Piss is Perfect" is Spit For Athenaıs third full-length CD and a long-anticipated masterpiece that documents the band at its most quintessential. The first half of the disk, titled "Mergers," features 13 brand-new, two-minute, verse/chorus bursts by singer and guitarist Levi Bailey, bassist Melanie Cumming, and drummer Matt Budd. The tracks sizzle and scrape with giant hooks, deadly riffs and pounding rhythms amounting to what is easily the bandıs catchiest, if not darkest, material yet. Singer/songwriter Levi Baileyıs stream-of-criticism seems more pointed and amusing than ever and his biggest target is himself forcing the listener to look at his or her own perversions, ugly laziness and apathy. The second half of the album, "Acquisitions," features 10 more songs, including re-recorded versions of some of the bands best older songs and the original recordings for "Extermina", which some say sound better than the actual record.
(It is basically two separate albums on one CD, which is one of Baileyıs trademarks. His solo album (Clear Days Always) and the first Spit For Athena album were set up the same way.)

"There is no soap or salt to wash it off. You cannot cover it up. Cellulite and bruises like dry wads of gum. And
you're so fucking obvious. If they wrote a song about it, what would it be? What would it sound like? The way
friction colors skin...the stains on a mattress. If it were a band that kids liked - pretty for you and cute for you, syrup
and dirty sheer - it would sound like Spit For Athena."

V/A The Lake Effect, CD
Four Michigan bands share a disc with three to four tracks each.
Corcovado have great female vocals reminiscent of the early 90s Britpop.
Man At Arms do the Fugazi/Shellac thing well.
Spit For Athena are popular and hard to pin down.
The Sea The Sea finishes up with a Nation Of Ulysses/Rites Of Spring sound.
This is one crazy mix thatıs totally essential.
