Fallen Wisdon – “Immortal”
There are short (often funny/whachy-sounding) guitar solos and double-bass drumming, but that doesn’t mean that this is not punk rock: raw, rough & tumble, rumbling punk rock. Punk rock purists might be upset. They are always upset, anyway: if it’s not that the local grocery clerk’s mohawk is not punk enough, it’s that the masses don’t know every single detail about the life of Bakunin.
Fallen Wisdom’s music is loud and pretty obnoxious; the vocalist sounds like a drunken lunatic screamer who loves his Misfits/Glen Danzing: (I Need Your) “Plasma” could be a Misfits song. In addition, the album has a drunken, rowdy sound, that of a garage recording. Oh, just in case: Fallen Wisdom is NOT hardcore/metalcore. It’s punk rock with traditional punk vocals (NOT growled) and simple, upbeat, fast (NOT way, way fast) drumming. They are Puerto Rican, sing in English and play punk. Like your mama said: beware of crazy Puerto Ricans playing punk rock!! Next thing you know, they’ll be taking over baseball. Wait. Never mind.
