freAkin' rAd reviews "Crapital Punishment" by MtD

[Bret Walker]

From freAkin' rAd - local music 'zine extraordinaire (-:

Max the Dork takes punk back to its roots. We would really love this band if the lyrics were more appropriate. What kind of dad would make his children sing a song entitled "Buddy the Crack-Smokin' [Kitty]"? How do you say something nice after that? By no means are we judging his parental skills. We just don't agree with that. But purely on a musical standpoint, Max the Dork is a talented band. And let's just leave it at that.

To be fair, my cat really does smoke crack. And I don't approve of it either.

That is the best review I've ever read. Its opinions like this that make being in a punk rock band so meaningfull. What's funny is Bret "making" his kids sing "buddy the crack-smokin' kitty" Cause we all know what a horrible father Bret is and how he would have beaten them if they refused. ;D Good stuff all around.

Note: Let it be known that Bret Walker does not abuse his children. Be it physicaly emotionaly or mentaly. Ok maybe a little bit mentaly but thats what makes him such a great father

Check it out, let's say you're 9, 10 years old and your dad is a punk rocker. And one day he makes up a song about your cat, because it's the family joke that he's on crack. And he says "Hey, kids, wanna help me record this song?" What are you gonna do? Now it's two years later and there you are, 11, 12 years old and singing in a song featured on a punk rock CD. How cool is that? Let's face it, I almost wish my dad were that cool. Not that he's not cool, but he's cool in a much more subdued way. Anyway, I did not make them sing the song, they wanted to do it, and we all had fun with it. And my son ad-libbed the "yeah!" at the end, which really makes the song.

But I agree with Justin, it's the best review ever. I'm gonna copy it and put it on our Crapital Punishment page.
