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.

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.

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)

This is amazing, catchy and punx........ I slept with terry is one of my fav songs ever............ If you like The Frustrators, also buy Pinhead Gunpowder with Billie Joe.......

I feel that the song "Then She Walked Away" perfectly describes some of my life, I love The Great Australian Midget Toss.

I really like this record. Midget Toss and East Bay of Urden Bay are the best tracks. I'm too young to see many bands, but I listen to a lot of music and this record is cool. My friend first told me about the Frustrators cuz of Mike and Green Day, but I like the Frustrators way more than Green Day. THIS EP ROCKS

I don't feel how you can state that "The Great American Midget Toss" is humorous. I feel its a very degrading song, especially when it talks about throwing another minority individual. Would it be funny if they sang about tossing any other minority individual? Its a disgrace to those who have dwarfism, and its a disgrace to parents who have children with dwarfism. Would it also be funny if they sang about tossing those with Downs Syndrome, MDA, or any other disability? As a band, they should have used better wisdom and knowledge before they wrote a very degrading song.
