Frist All God's Children Review

Indie Music Review- June 2008 - by Gary Levinson

How refreshing to receive a neo-new wave, neo-punk disc! While checking it out, I came upon the lyrics. They were great:

"...so much stimulation yet I feel kinda numb
so much information yet I feel kinda dumb"

Isn't that how it is? And how is this for a comment on the present day confrontation between various religious ideologies:

"goddam, I don't understand
how your religion makes you kill a man
jesus christ it don't seem right
all god's children want to fuss & fight"

And so forth.

Their music is something like the B-52s, with somewhat harder lyrics, all the while quite fun. In the meantime, the vocals have an edgy, punky sound. caeser pink & the imperial orgy bring something important back to music, something that has been missing from the mainstream flow: a questioning of the basis of contemporary society, and an essential irreverent disregard for the ever present commercial authority.
