BRICKLAYER

 


I can't even with the lineage here, and I can barely even think about getting into an honest analysis of the contents. You like intense, raw hardcore / punk? Then you like BRICKLAYER. I have a vague unfounded memory of CHARLES BRONSON covering HÜSKER DÜ's "Bricklayer" and slagging off people who worshipped at the altar of Zen Arcade on the lyric sheet, but it turns out they were actually covering "Punch Drunk" which doesn't change the fact that I felt slagged off when I read that lyric sheet. How does that relate to this band called BRICKLAYER? Well.....it doesn't, but somehow that anecdote felt relevant. You know what else feels relevant? This Washington band called BRICKLAYER. Apparently there's an LP that I need, several of these songs are on it.
