Osker- Idle will kill

Back to my teenage years except that I discovered this record late 2009! Its weird that i never go into this record before as I had some interest in the epitath catalog back in '01. So almost ten years, uh!
I heard some stories of devon williams, Osker's leader per say, one of the most hated guy in punk rock.
"The world is a carousel of people who don’t know what the hell they are talking about. With this in mind, Osker receives criticism from lemmings who are determined to slam the band because of their reputation. Kids don’t know Devon Williams (vocals, guitar) personally, yet they feel security and freedom to call him an asshole. Furthermore, some people receive a sense of accomplishment by writing “your bands sucks” on the Osker messageboard, a mature act which must not go unnoted. However, these actions are more of a reflection of the trivial lives some people lead rather than the quality of the music Osker makes. Don’t be lead astray by the “most hated” tag. Although Devon’s cynicism and brutal honesty can get him in trouble from time to time, that’s no reason to overlook Idle Will Kill."

Idle will kill is a masterpiece. A must have pop-punk record that i cannot compare to another act. Meayb Dillinger Four but just replace the political songs with teenage angst. There are songs absolutely anthemic. Songs like disconnect disconnect or kinectic have haunted me for days. You can lable this punk rock as Osker didn't give a tiny fuck of all that criticism and managed to record something very different from their first lp, giving a different direction while sticking to pure honesty.



Yo buy it!

Yo get into it!
