klonopin unreleased "metal" ep
The years from 2001 to 2008 kind of blur together for me so its hard to pin down exact dates but klonopin was a band that I believe existed from around 2002-2004. Started by this guy named Zac Coleman who had previously played in a wacky thrash band called no policy (fun fact/unsubstantiated rumor--Dave Mustaine moved to the north county San Diego area and I hear these days Zac is his right hand man). Said band dressed up in costumes when they played and refered to their music as FUNCORE. The singer of no policy was a child actor who was in the movie Little Giants and i guess was also in that show Grace Under Fire. Straight brandon cruz status. Any ways the guitar player zac also had a brief stint in a local ESCO THRASH band called Crippled Mongulloid, which is a noteworthy tidbit of local hardcore history/trivia. Other notable band members were Reed Olson who also played/plays drums in waco fuck and Jake Lopez who played guitar in a local Esco punk band called Mexican Space Shuttle and would later play guitar in waco fuck. Also in the band was this girl named Joy and this other dude named Zac who played bass.
Klonopin was a fucking ferocious live band, fast as fuck and they really nailed the start/stop random time change infest/power violence style (having an ill drummer always helps) but also had catchy as fuck song writing and little metal leads and cool guitar work. this was their second ep (ill get around to posting the first one soon) and it showed them moving in a more overtly metal direction while still being, for the most part, a power vioence/thrash band. Unfortunately right before releasing this record the band would implode a few days before their second west coast tour due to creative and personal differences. With no more band this recording would never see the light of day, i dont even think too many people even heard it, which is a shame. A few of the founding memebers of klonopin would rework these songs in a death metal/grind band called Holy Tyrant.

ReplyDeleteWonder why I never heard of these dudes ? I do know Crippled Mongoloid, use to talk to one of the dudes from that band long ago. If you could post any other Klonopin releases, that would seriously be appreciated !!!!! Epic band !!!!!
They were REALLY good. As were WACO FUCK. Unfortunately Reed took his own life a few years back. Very unfortunate
