Editorial Reviews

For Los Angeles-based soul-inflected punk band all it took was one song, penned by guitarist & founder Charlie Paulson (GOLDFINGER) titled Last Fucking Hope, to light the fuse on a whole new musical powderkeg. With the addition of Christian Martucci (CHELSEA SMILES & Dee Dee Ramone's band), Roy Mayorga (NAUSEA & SOULFLY) and east-coast hardcore veteran Jason Christopher the band plays aggressive music that acknowledges American 60s soul. Look for the band to explode on Vans Warped Tour 08 & to tour extensively throughout 2008.

This review is from: Black President (Audio CD)

Yes, yes, and yes!!! Black President is a new band comprised of Christian Martucci (ex-Chelsea Smiles!!!) on vocals/guitar, Charlie Paulson (ex-Goldfinger) on guitar, Jason Christopher (ex-New Dead Radio) on bass, and -- for the album, anyway -- Roy Mayorga (Amebix, Nausea, Soulfly) on drums. (Roy recently left the band and was replaced by Dave Raun, himself ex-RKL, ex-Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, ex-Lagwagon.) This is big -- no, HUGE -- and powerful and fast and loud and angry and, put simply, just what we need right now. Black President presents the best of all possible worlds, an unholy collision of Bad Religion, Reagan Youth, RKL, D Generation, Born To Lose, Ramones, Subhumans (UK), and Motorhead... with the songs to back it up. A stunning and most welcome debut from a band that damn well better stick around for awhile.
