BACKBITER - Fuck the Bozos (CASS)
Hailing from Portland, OR and featuring members from local luminaries THE TAXPAYERS, SHITTY WEEKEND and TENSOR, Backbiter is a melodic punk 3-piece that are the perfect mix of being more talented than you, more sloppy than you and more pissed than you all at the same time. The guitar needles, the vocals scream, the lyrics bite and the drums seem like they'd rather have fun than play a straight beat all the time. Not for posers. - Colin Sanders
