The Nation of Ulysses spits in the eye of Rock'n Roll. Smashed the light, Smashed cameras, smashed instruments,smashed faces. (Nation of Ulysses)




THE NATION OF ULYSESS!! Defiantly one of my favorite punk bands, their 1991 debut, 13-Point Program To Destroy America, was an amazing record with some jazz punk, crazy (but not stupid) lyrics, freak-outs (Ya know, where everything is all cool then everyone goes apeshit!), and a TON OF ENERGY. The recordings sound their age, 16 years old now, but are still boss and will get you pumped.

9/10




The second, and as far as I know final installment in the book known as The Nation Of Ulysses, an amazing sophomore follow up, that in my opinion is slightly better than 13-pt. Program. More freak-outs, more jazzy sounding, more punk, more screams, some spoken word, and did I mentions more freak-outs? A must if you’re a fan of Swing Kids, Dead Boys, Cap’n Jazz, Dead Kennedys, and just about any old school punk rock band.

10/10
