Common Enemy - Let's Have Fun! 7" - 2005 - Sick of Talk Records

From Reading, PA (home of Wisdom In Chains, Out to Win) comes these punk skaters who want nothing more than fast thrash, circle pits, and raising mayhem on their decks, in the streets. Now, I may not be a skater but I still can get down and appreciate what these guys are about. As we all know, there are many forms of punk and while they are all significantly faster than other styles and genres of music, some punk is just mind numbingly fast and this is fucking fast! They blow through the seven songs on this 7" so fast that by the time you get on your kicks and grab your board, it’s over. Definitely good to listen to if you’re in a hurry to get in some drunken thrashing at 2 in the morning. The vocalist had me thinking I had the speed on my record player on 45, it’s as if he’s on a speed ball throwing up into the mic, but in a good way. The recording fits the band like a Guinness fits my hand. Also, this release comes equipped with a black and white cartoon layout that looks sick and hand numbered black vinyl limited to 400 copies. If you’re a skater, punk or both you will definitely be feeling this one. With songs like Skate of the dead, Park scabs and ramp tramps, and Let’s Have Fun are clear indicators of what these guys are all about. So grab a brew or two, pop this bad boy on and circle pit with you boys until the break of dawn. If you’re a skater, punk or both you will definitely be feeling this one. Check these guys out at their website or on mypace.com/commonenemy (Jeff Karbow)
Rating: 4/5
Songs worthy of replay: I Give Up, Let’s Have Fun
Thesis: Grade A skate punk to fuck shit up, for fans of early 80's california punk.

Common Enemy is back...with vengence! Common Enemy, the band whose CD "Late Night Skate", I reviewed a while back is now back with a full fucking 7" full of nothing but straight up thrashing, skating, and putting a truck to someone's head! Common Enemy, who if you haven't heard yet, are a straight up thrash/skate punk band from Pennsylvania. They're pretty well known due to the fact that they tour all the time and constantly release great music such as this 7". But yah to sum up this record, fucking buy this shit...unless you have a weak heart and can't handle the onslaught of ripping goodness that your ears constantly climax over.

Desert soaked fastcore about skating, zombies and skating. I mean, really that says it all...it's totally good, if not revolutionary...but songs about skating aren't SUPPOSED be revolutionary, they are suppose to be fun, like the song 'Let's Have Fun!" Tough ass vocals yeaowls and burly (not macho) breakdowns...it's like the NO REPLY EP, but punker. If, at this point, you think you might like this, then you will. I do. (Robert)
