A vigorous roar storms out of a
Marshall stack, pumping the
decibels along an Intense barrage
of solid hardcore riffs crossed in
with heavy metallic licks for a com-
bination speed and power, that
wallops a crucial blow. Screaming
out of Northern California rushes a
band, full of momentum and aggres-
sion with a driving lyrical stance who
kick out a vicious sound which
they've titled 'krunchcore'. Attitude
Adjustment is a combustive
powerhouse with a rising fire, which
continually grows as the style and
talent improves.
Introducing the smash and bash
plummeting beats from Chris Kontos
who works the kit with a rapid fren-
zy. Adding mean garroting punches
to this explosive sound. Rick Strahl
originally from Germany flies through
the air, feet tucked back, strumming
booming bass lines, heavy with
stamina, tight with precision, con-
tinually moving in a frantic pace.
Guitarist Chris Scaparro works the
strings of a buzzsawing guitar wail,
arching back for an occasional lead,
concentrating on meaty chord pro-
gression. Up front, always kicking the
legs in every which way is the short
man with the big burly voice, Andy
'Airborne Anderson, who growls with
a foamy grind, spitting out the signifi-
cant lyrical content. Dealing on sub-
jects such as anti-war, drunk driving,
and environmental topics, Attitude
Adjustment show their sincere con-
cern to the world around them.
A ten song demo, two tracks on the
'End The War Zone' compilation Ep.
and soon a sixteen song Lp entitled
'American Paranoia' will bring At-
titude Adjustment to the crossover
audience and beyond.
Andy Anderson growls a grind off
street brick. L to R: Adjusters - Chris,
Rick, Chris and Andy.
