GRIMPLE - Up Your Ass

Artist: Grimple
Album: “Up Your Ass"
Year:  1992
Genre: Hardcore Punk

When mentioning the California “Bay Area” the names Crimpshrine, Rancid, Green Day, Operation Ivy, Mr. T Experience and others start flying around.  For me, Grimple are the perfect sonic representation of Bay Area punk rock; fast, irreverent, vociferous and unrestrained.  Whenever I listen to this band, I get visions of mohawks and spikes swirling around in a small, overheated, graffiti tagged room where the band is just whipping the wall-to-wall crowd into a frenzy.  The record rarely slows down and is quite feral, but still it has plenty of hooks to grasp on to so anyone can sing right along.
