A few weeks ago, Toxic Reasons made their umpteenth Omaha con cert appearance, accompanied by Germany's K.G.B. Toxic Reasons rocked as well as ever to their big gest local crowd yet, ripping through song after song with hardly a pause for introductions. Noticeably lack ing was slower music from the band's "Within These Walls" album. fifth by biyan Column peterson A similar absence hinders Toxic Reasons' new album, "Bullets For You." It's filled with their trade mark stop 'n' start style a syn chronized blast of above-average hardcore backed by a good combi nation of personal and social lyrics. What's n.ishing is an occasional departure rvnn their usual sound. Tln re can ' too much of a good thine Toxic id. isms have a good souni! that is ...sed too often. "Within Thes,- Walls" proved that the band coult' lepart from their usual punk souiui and still create great mate rial. Such variation would have added the extra touch their new album needs. Nonetheless, there is an abun dance of remarkable songs to be found on "Bullets For You." "Do What You Can" provides a little variation yet remains within the framework of the band's typical style. The blunt sarcasm of "God Bless America" is fueled by the band at their roaring best. The opening and closing numbers, "To morrow Night" and 'You Got to Believe," are probably the most memorable songs from the album. Some of the lyrics are lame ("Never Give In") but most are well written and charged with emotion. An excerpt from "Killing the Future" provides a vague warning and an album theme "Replace us with machines, give us nothing to do, we'll be standing outside with Ava kians bullets for you." K.G.B.

K.G.B. toured through out Europe with Toxic Reasons and toured North America this spring. After six years of haunting German clubs and the release of three EPs, K.G.B. have released an album through California's Hardway Rec ords. K.G.B. as a group is involved in a number of political struggles (squat ting, resisting the military, support ing political prisoners) but devote few songs to such topics. Their pol ished thrash style is used in songs about everything from witches' re cipes to sex to Donald Duck to sex. Hannes' vocals are a great boon to the "Letzte Bestellung" LP. The live version of "Ballroom Blitz" is one of the better songs musically, but Hannes' voice is wasted on silly lyrics. Most of the song's are speed ier and allow Hannes to use his clear enunciation to its fullest ex tent. Yes, a thrash ba..d with com prehensible lyrics. Well, sort of. Only a few of the songs are sung in ! .jlish; K.G.B. prefers their native language. The band was kind enough to translate some lyrics but more translation would have been appreciated. Toxic Reasons and K.G.B. are prime examples of international cooperation among underground bands. Such cooperation is not limit ed to the hardcore punk scene by any means. The animal-rights movement has seen phenomenal growth in recent years. Growing numbers of people are questioning man's useabuse of animals, rallying behind such slo gans as "Animals are not ours to eat, wear or experiment upon." A wide variety of musicians are involved in the movement, creating songs and other messages concerned with the rights of animals. Dozens of peace-punk bands have performed such songs and have participated in benefit concerts for groups like the Animal Liberation Front (A.L.F.), yet the message has been too far separated from mainstream society. As awareness has grown, more pop ular groups have gotten involved. i L i , . i U J L Hours: 4:30pM -1,U r.iun. 4:30PM-2AM Frf. 11AM-2AM Sat. 11AM-1AM Sun. Limited Delivery Area.

Chicago's Wax Trax Records has just released a compilation album of well-known American and Euro pean musicians. It's a fund-raiser for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA, Box 42516, Wash ington, D.C. 20015). Unlike the earlier British "Devas tate to Liberate" compilation album, Wax Trax' "Animal Liberation" LP comes with a poster and other information about such animal rights concerns as vivisection (the use of animals in laboratory experiments), factory farming and vegetarianism. Four of the nine songs are unre leased, and most are enjoyable synth-dance stuff, typified by the excellent Chris and Cosey track. Luc Van Acker contributed another compelling song, "Hunt the Hun ter." There is only one bad song on the album, and it is really bad. Lene Lovich's "Supernature" is OK, but her collaboration with Nina Hagen in the corny "rescue version" of "Don't kill the Animals" is godaw fully bad. It's a cheesy, synthy rap attempt at . . . I'm not sure what. Despite the music, there are some lyrical gems here "Life is worth living, the animals agreeif they were meant to be eaten they'd be growing on trees." Aside from Nina's screechy voice, the words and music are quite good. Colour Field and Howard Jones pre sent outstanding songs, rounding out what should be one of the year's better compilations. Again, aside from Nina's screechy voice, my only complaint is that the enclosed info is mostly just a plug for PETA. Much more basic info about just what animal rights are and why people should get involved should have been provided. All in all, though, the message on the album should be enough motivation for those interested to investigate the concerns and alternatives of the animal-rights movement. $1.00 off any size pizza.
