WAR ALL THE TIME


Not to be confused with the UK band also named after the second POISON IDEA LP, Oakland's WAR ALL THE TIME was an insanely short lived super group that played only a handful of shows in 2004. Past and future members of WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?, TALK IS POISON, CALIFORNIA LOVE, CONQUEST FOR DEATH, KILL THE MAN WHO QUESTIONS and LOOK BACK AND LAUGH (among many others) made up this three guitared monster, and though their seven song demo only lasts eight minutes, it's clear that they would have easily attained the same status as any of their previous bands had they kept playing. But after three shows and precious few demo tapes (mine is #5/13), WAR ALL THE TIME packed up and left. The presentation is raw, the riffs are epic and the vocal attack is  searing...

I remember this band, and asking myself, "what happened to that band with the three guitars??!"
