saw them a few years ago... they put on a great show, except the singer is a complete asshole...

this band is terrible in everyway

Oz Factor will always remain one of my favorite albums. it's possibly my most listened to album through highschool. The other stuff doesn't really strike me so much although self-titled was pretty good and elva wasn't bad. I've restrained myself from listening to anything tha've done since.

Sweet Jesus what a horrible lineup for that label LOL! Here's a fun game, grab a forty of some shitty beer and take a drink everytime you see one of the following on the "Suburban Noize" homepage.

-a marijuana reference
-a titled hat
-someone that grew up in the 909 (thats inland empire/riverside california)
-a douchebag

You will be drunk quick YO!

TheeValiantRA3 (March 3, 2008)

I'm not sure how to feel about this label. On one hand, you have the Kottonmouth Kings, the whole SRH/DGAF "lifestyle", and all the intelligence and virtue represented by those elements and on the other hand there are bands like Authority Zero and D.I.(and apparently Unwritten Law) that need a label to get their music out. Strange bedfellows i think. For instance, when some Coach clad rapper dude came on stage with Authority Zero at Warped(yea, another story all together) there was a collective sense of confusion in the audience. The pit stopped and everyone just sort of stood there, puzzled, as some skinny shirtless rapper ran around on stage. That awkward moment more or less describes my internal uncertainty.

Cos (March 3, 2008)

Yeah, but Kottonmouth Kings are really descendents of the whole D.I. mentality/suburban idiocy. It makes sense. But how KK continues to traffic in Crass imagery is beyond me.

LookBackAndLaugh (March 3, 2008)

Well, since some of the people are acquaintences from when the members of KK were in punk bands (like Doggy Style)... I could see it somewhat.

Now, the one thing my mind can never wrap around is: Corporate Avenger (ex-Uniform Choice)... WTF? Pat Dubar, why?

DrGunn (March 3, 2008)

also amusing is that one of the founders (owners?) of suburban noize is doug carrion who played bass in descendents and dag nasty for a bit (i think he was in doggy style too). fucking bizarre.

Dante3000 (rich) (March 3, 2008)

Members of the KMK used to be in a band called Humble Gods that was actually not awful. But anything they've done in the past 8 years has been mindboggelingly bad and the Suburban Noize mentality is second worse only to Juggalos.

disko (March 3, 2008)

Jason Thirsk (of Pennywise fame) was also in the Humble Gods before his death.

joetheinvincible (March 3, 2008)

Last Laugh is on that label and they are a great band.

weffjebster (March 4, 2008)

Yeah, although I thought they only had that self titled album. Is the rest any good?

facetofacereunion08 (March 3, 2008)

it's amazing how fast UL and the Ataris fell

facetofacereunion08 (March 3, 2008)

Yeah my girlfriend like UL and DHC

ASVLN12 (March 3, 2008)

ha suburban noize. ha kmk. ha stoner rap.

gazibo (March 3, 2008)

This band should have hung up it up a long time ago.

Blue Room was good, Oz Factor / Self-Titled were amazing after that with the exception of a few songs here and there.. nothing close to what they used to be like.

CBSrocksteady (March 3, 2008)

Suburban Noize? Thats interesting. Maybe d-loc and johnny riktor will find a guest spot on this...

Cos (March 3, 2008)

Amazing how shit attracts shit. I guess this means Scott will have enough money to keep his coke habit going. I mean, they've gotta have all kindsa endorsements from energy drinks and dirt bike companies coming soon.

ludwigg (March 3, 2008)

Imagine being a member in Unwritten Law in the current time and having the ability to travel back in time and show your previous self what mediocre musical career you have to look forward to. What would you say to yourself? Would you want to warn yourself that you will always be a talentless, subpar, 1 dimensional California pop-punk band? Would you be able to tell yourself to know when to throw in the towel before you become a middle aged unaccomplised pop punk band?

hahahha goddamn!

ludwigg (March 4, 2008)

i mean, it's just pathetic to be nearing 40 and playing in a leftover 90's pop-punk band singing the same pop-punk harmonies and pop-punk choruses, etc.

at least some of their compatriots struck it rich, or retained their fans loyalty and respect.

unwritten law are the poor man's everything, and they continue to just produce fifth rate music.

PhillipIck (March 4, 2008)

So we should all be expecting one more lame album from these guys before they break up and release a shitty, 10-song hits collection.
