Maximum Rock n' Roll describes us using words & symbols: "COOL TAPE DEPT: From right under your Bay Area noses comes BUTCHER COVER, a shit-mess of an outfit comining pigfuck with hatecore or some wild shit. You'll hear references to WHITEHOUSE, BIG BLACK, ELECTRIC EELS, hardcore punk, noise-rock, KBD-punkitude and all sorts of other weirdness jammed onto this thing. It's as if UNSANE released a record on SUSAN LAWLY or something. And the craziest thing is that it's only a demo! I love it when tapes do the job they're supposed to do

It's as if UNSANE released a record on SUSAN LAWLY or something. And the craziest thing is that it's only a demo! I love it when tapes do the job they're supposed to do, which is get you excited for the band's actual vinyl releases! Mission accomplished! Man, these guys sound angry... join them!

Butcher Cover s/t cassette
What a wonderful, wonderful collection of songs. Truly brutal shite from an ex-Tractor Sex Fatality bro and some like-minded Bay Area hatemongers. Two sides and a dozen tracks of scuzzzscreeee, drawing influence from every paint-peeling band since the dawn of time. You'll recognize some of the relentless Stoogian repeat-o-drive of Los Brainbombs, a flicker of mashed-up Japanese hardcore intensity, Whitehouse-esque electronoise, straight-up grindcore blastbeat Napalm Death head nods, Flag-meets-AmRep riff-kill a la Drunkdriver, Drunks with Guns power drone, power metal, power electronics, power bombs....it's all there. Like I said, a really wonderful bit of tape that succeeds on many levels and pulls off many different appraoches to ugly. Shit, I would commit this right to vinyl with some mastering to snip off some of the split ends. It would have people drooling. Great guitar sound, drums have just the right sheen'o'shit on them to make them sound both loud and crap. And even though he's a pal, I have to say Robbie V puts up some of his best gutspewing vox here, even better than his "voice" from TSF. Old school violent-rock brought into today's vernacular, lovingly strung together with movie soundbites. This and the Landlords tape are gonna be duking it out for cassette of the year.(RK)
