Comment: My friend told me to go to this punk show to see a band called Crash Martinez. I was thinking "yeah right" Some cookie cutter cover band. I had nothing better to do so I went to the stupid show. A couple of dudes on stage totally rocking out. What? Wasn't expecting THAT. They were pretty frickin' awesome. I hear they're always touring and stuff, can't wait 'til they come back to town or are in the area. Who are those guys? I hope one day everyone can hear this stuff. It's pretty amazing. They did the cheezy "plugging your website" thing in the middle of the show, which is pretty lame, but, what are you gonna do as a baby band? So, they did that; the address is crashmartinez.com ... it seems they give away all kinds of cool stuff to their fans. Hope they give me some stuff or I'll be pissed. That's all for now. -Phil Moore
