BULEMICS BIO
Formed in 1996 in Austin, Texas--released two 7 inchers ("Cant Keep It Down" w/ "If I Only Had A Heart"/"Austin Strangler" and the 2nd w/ "Your Man's Gonna Die Tonight"/"Watch The Bastard Fry" by Antiseen) in '98 on Junk Records. The 1st full length LP "Old Enough To Know Better...Too Young To Care" would soon follow, also put out by the now defunct Junk Records.
The next release was put out by another great, but now defunct label; Frank Kozik's: Man's Ruin Records. "Good Times Rock and Roll"(1999) The CD version was a split w/River City Rapists (featuring John Motard on vox, Rex/Nick from the Dwarves and QOTSA on bass, Doug Evans from the Didjits on guitar, and our own drummer Hell Sancho. We got Greg Hetson (Red Cross, Circle Jerks, Bad Religion) to produce our side. Jeff Pinkus (Butthole Surfers, Honkey) produced the Rapists stuff. The vinyl versions were released as 10"ers on colored vinyl and Kozik poster art covers-limited to 500.
We released "Talk Dirty To Me"(2000), the 3rd LP on TSB (Twenty Stone Blatt) in Scotland. "Soundtrack To The Apocalypse"(2002) produced by Mike Mariconda was the 4th Lp, and was put out by Steel Cage Records in Philly(same folks that do Carbon 14 Magazine).
The 7"ers include a split with Texas Terri (Product Of America and a Johnny Thunders tune, "Tie Me Up" duet w/Gerry and Terri put out by Scarey Records in Italy (you can still get these ..www. scareyrecords.
com..).
A split with Speedloader with us doing Alice Coopers "Cold Ethyl" and an original "In The Name Of Satan" We did a split with Drunken Thunder w/ Nicki Sicki (Verbal Abuse, Sick Pleasure) singing on both sides.

"Although punk has always been known for its in-your-face attitude, not all punk bands are interested in fighting the power. Punk has had its sociopolitical agitators--the Sex Pistols, the Clash and the Dead Kennedys were among early punk's more famous protest bands--but there have been many punks who were mainly interested in having fun and keeping their listeners entertained (such as the Ramones and the Dickies). For the Bulemics, punk isn't about getting a serious sociopolitical message across; it's strictly a way to have fun, and their idea of fun is being as crude, tasteless and offensive as possible. Thriving on shock value, the Bulemics love sick, twisted, dark-humored lyrics--Satanism, drug abuse, suicide, promiscuity and violent crime are the sort of things that they routinely joke about in their songs. Of course, their over-the-top lyrics aren't meant to be taken seriously, and the Texans' fans (most of them anyway) have enough common sense to realize that.
The Bulemics were formed in Austin, TX in 1996, when alternative rock stations were playing a lot of emo/punk-pop bands like Green Day. But the Bulemics were never influenced by Green Day, blink-182, Fenix TX or any of the other emo bands that were popular in the ‘90s and early 2000s. Their approach to punk is very old school--as in late ‘70s and early ‘80s--and their sound is reminiscent of classic Los Angeles bands like the Circle Jerks, Black Flag and the Germs. The Bulemics have also been compared to the Boston bands of that era, which makes sense because Boston's early ‘80s punk bands (Jerry's Kids, Gang Green, the Freeze, among others) were heavily influenced by West Coast punk. No one will mistake the Bulemics for a British oi band; their sound is strictly American." |
