Bicentennial Rub, Revenge Society, and Onward Rex Goliath at Frank's Power Plant
Bicentennial Rub, the Milwaukee quartet that holds Black Flag, Flipper, Dead Kennedys (minus the hand-about-the-throat vocal stylings), and MC5 by the nuts, doesn’t fancy it up on the Shane Hochstetler-produced, self-titled, five-song EP it recorded in 2011, nor should it. The most “fancy” Bicentennial Rub gets is adding plenty of distortion to brash guitars, and busting it all up with loads of attitude from vocalist Michael Carriere, who bleeds his throat raw between his “fuck-if-I-care” drawls. Live, the frenzied energy of Bicentennial Rub is easy to accept at face value, but the band’s EP still manages to tell it like it is with a similar intensity that pounds itself into the ground, very much a glutton for punishment.
