The Princess Rides the Bull Into Holy Hell
Punknews.org – Nov 21, 2006
Somewhere along the way country and folk music became more and more acceptable for punks to like. Take a listen to Lucero or Drag the River for proof of punks enjoying and creating this music. Heck just look no further than the cover choices for the latest Gimmes record. My theory as to why it didn’t happen sooner perhaps is the cartoony image that mainstream country music has today and the Hollywood image of folk music and beatniks. The same could be said for punk music’s overtly fashion conscious portrayal in the media… Heck just look no further than the cover choices for the latest Gimmes record. My theory as to why it didn’t happen sooner perhaps is the cartoony image that mainstream country music has today and the Hollywood image of folk music and beatniks. The same could be said for punk music’s overtly fashion conscious portrayal in the media. When you get past the goofy TV images and really pick up a Merle Haggard Woody Guthrie or Neil Young record there is some wonderfully sincere music to be found. What does any of this have to do with this piece of music? Well looks like the group of punk-oriented individuals in Killed by the Bull have also discovered a love of roots rock. With their horribly titled EP The Princess Rides the Bull Into Holy Hell the band has created an original but extremely perplexing piece of music. Through the course of the six-song album the band deftly crafts a dark and brooding revved up country rock-inspired soundscape.

Shut Up & Take It

To some it might even seem that that is how it always was. Yet in reality things such as veganism DIY ethics straight-edge environmental activism and strongly defined leftist political stances were after-the-fact developments largely (but not exclusively) brought on by the advent of American hardcore. In reality punk’s forebearers bands such as the Stooges and the Ramones were a musical revolution designed to strip rock music down to its basic principles. Carrying the torch for no frills rock’n'roll comes Pink Swords (what a great band name) with their sophomore full-length Shut Up & Take It for Gearhead Records.
