SFH release new album, SFH KINDA SUCK, which kinda says it all

TORONTO, August 11 – Shit From Hell, perhaps the most-appropriately named band in the known universe, today released their fourth studio album, the (also appropriately-named), SFH Kinda Suck.

“We are all about lowering expectations,” said bassist and lead screamer Winkie.  “With a name like Shit From Hell, what did you expect?”

Around their mothers and children, however, the band call themselves SFH.  When playing gigs in and around the Greater Toronto Area, SFH also call themselves “lucky to be alive and not in prison anymore.”

SFH KInda Suck was recorded at Iguana Studios by Nick Lobodycz earlier in the Summer of 2017.  The record features sure-fire hits like ‘Kinda Sucks,’ ‘TV Show’ and ‘Eighties Dance Song.’  All are catchier than a drawer full of fish hooks.

As well, the long-player contains SFH’s loving, respectful tribute to the 45th president of the United States, ‘Donald Trump Is An Asshole’ – as well as their paean to Da Brudders, ‘Ramones Song.’  In addition, SFH Kinda Suck offers the band’s millions of fans their cover of the Outcasts’ immortal tune, ‘Self-Conscious Over You.’

SFH are:

STEVE DECEIVE

The pride of Peterborough and Ottawa, if Peterborough and Ottawa had anything to be proud about. The love child of Fred Flintstone and Joan Jett. Cultured ruffian. Sex without the sex. Rhythm method guitar.

BJORN VON FLAPJACK III

Not his real name. Real name: unknown. Sick Dick, Handsome Amanda. Beats skins. Goes on binges. Will eat anything on a dare.

WINKIE 

Four strings. Brays and screeches. Hot Nasty, Social Blemish. Hates everyone, pretty much. Permanently 15.

SNIPE

Praying mantis disguised as human. Milo in a cardigan. Drinks like a fish, if fish were all chronic boozers. Will play lead licks for spare change. All women want to mother him.  

SFH Kinda Suck is being released across North America and Europe by Ugly Pop (UA064).  A Fall tour is being planned, as long as the band’s parole officers provide consent in advance.

A rebel founder quits the Rebel rebellion

My friend Brian Lilley, who has been with the Rebel since the start, says he can’t take it anymore – here.

I am told (not by Brian) that the final straw was that lunatic Faith Goldy, in Charlottesville, promoting the words of Richard Spencer – who, you know, is one of the leaders of the American neo-Nazi movement.  Or going on about how the Nazis have “well thought-out ideas” about the “Jewish question,” here.

Brian may be a conservative, but he simply got fed up with the racism and the anti-Semitism that had become a huge part of the Rebel’s offering. 

Kudos to you, Brian. 


About that alt-Right event at U of T, and related events

Here:


U of T insists it isn’t happening. I hope, for U of T’s sake, that is true.  Because not a few of us were going to be on hand to peacefully (but loudly) oppose it.  Worth keeping an eye on.

In the meantime, I’ve been on AM640, 1310 News about the rise of the far Right in Charlottesville and beyond – and I’ll be on CFRA, Sirius XM and CBC TV News later tonight.  (All consider the publication of X: Recipe for Hate to be timely.  I wish that wasn’t so, but I think they’re right.)

The Beast is awake.  We live in dangerous times.
