Night Shift by K.K. Rampage

Just in time for the holiday season.
Do yourself a favor.....abandon your family and God
Smoke more weed
Work hard and don't be an asshole at your job. Dummies.

Personal Note:

As a reviewer, receiving an advance promo copy from K.K. Rampage is always an unpredictable experience. This time, the album arrived sealed inside a box of Trix cereal on a CDR, labeled as a "prize," complete with a small vial of Vaseline containing a disgusting clump of cat or dog hair. This bizarre and unsettling delivery method perfectly encapsulates the band’s commitment to shock and provoke, setting the stage for the auditory chaos

Album Review: K.K. Rampage's Seventh Sonic Assault of 2024

In an era where the music scene often feels sanitized and predictable, K.K. Rampage returns with their seventh album of 2024, once again defying conventions and embracing chaos. Frontman Johnny Rampage and his songwriting partner E.M. Danziger, known for their blue-collar ethos and unrelenting commitment to their craft, have produced an album that is as abrasive as it is thought-provoking.

Johnny Rampage, the hermetic and misanthropic heart of the band, continues his tradition of self-punishment in pursuit of inspiration. His macabre routine includes submerging himself in icy waters, enduring prolonged starvation, or eating out of the dumpster, and toiling in grueling, unnecessary jobs—each act of self-sabotage feeding into the band's raw and unfiltered sound. This lifestyle has become synonymous with the band's identity, a modern-day manifestation of noise rock's most extreme excesses.

The album's first single, "Chop Off That Man's Penis," delivers a visceral punch with its retarded Nirvana-esque bass lines, melded with the frenetic energy reminiscent of the Melvin's and the anarchic spirit of the the Butthole Surfers. The track's aggressive, distorted riffs and relentless tempo create an auditory assault that both mesmerizes and disorients, capturing the essence of K.K. Rampage's sound.

The second single, "Porkchop Jagoff," shifts gears with a stoner rock vibe, characterized by its sluggish, almost lethargic pace. High-pitched, staircase-demon guitars wail over the track, creating an eerie and disconcerting atmosphere. This song channels the sludgy heaviness of a lo-fi Electric Wizard and the dissonant experimentation of Sonic Youth, forging a path that is as hypnotic as it is unsettling.

Johnny Rampage and E.M. Danziger have crafted a record that stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to artistic integrity. By infusing their music with the harsh realities of their lives, they create a visceral and authentic experience that is as disturbing as it is compelling. For fans of noise rock and those who revel in the unconventional, K.K. Rampage's latest album is an essential listen, a chaotic masterpiece that captures the essence of rebellion and defiance.
