5.0 out of 5 stars Review - Punk Interview Resource, April 7, 2000

The Frustrators - Bored In The USA While their hasn't been much action in the world of Green Day for the past couple of years, bassist Mike Dirnt started a new band with friends Jason Chandler(Vocals), Terry Linehan(guitar), and Art Tedeschi(drums) called The Frustrators. On January 11, 2000 the band released their debut ep on Billie Joe Armstrong's label , Adeline. The cd starts out with "I slept with Terry." Maybe it is just me but the song reminds me a lot of the Black Flag song "T.V. Party" The album then continues through 7 of the coolest punk rock songs I have ever heard, including a rocking cover of the Blondie song "Living In The Real World." Ever since I received this cd from Adeline Records I have not been able to stop listening to it. This is one of the best punk rock records I have ever heard in a long time. Don't go out and buy this album expecting Green Day like pop-punk. The band blends straight up rock and roll with punk, and a little country on the song "Brown Mercury Comet" to form some excellent songs. In an interview I did with Jason, the singer, he said they would be the kind of band playing with the Ramones and Blondie in 1983, and I think that is a fairly accurate description. "Living in the Real World", "West of Texas", and the song that will soon result in lots of hate mail from any midgets who happen to hear the song, "Great Australian Midget Toss" are my favorites on the cd. "Bored In The USA" is definitely worth your hard earned money. I guarantee you will be singing along after one listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hit potential, March 8, 2001

I think "You're only Hunan" could be a big hit, if radio stations knew about it. It's a great song. It's even better after you realize it's about left over chinese food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review - Maximum Rock and Roll Magazine (#203 April 2000), April 7, 2000

THE FRUSTRATORS - "Bored In The USA" CD I like this a lot. Punk rockers that don't take themselves too seriously, who aren't afraid to have fun, who aren't ashamed to cover BLONDIE. If "The Great Australian Midget Toss" fails to make you laugh, there's just something wrong with you. Features members of VIOLENT ANAL DEATH, WATERDOG, and GREEN DAY. My only complaint is that there's only eight songs. (BC)
