The Invisible Man

The story of The Invisible Man has been around for a long time. 123 Years to be exact. Which is when H.G. Wells’ novel was published. Since then it has been turned into a movie a bunch of times going all the way back to 1933. And it wasn’t just the invisible man, along the way we were also treated to an invisible kid, an invisible mom, an invisible avenger and even an invisible mouse. Most recently, we had Paul Verhoeven’s take on the story with 2000’s Hollow Man. I’m not even going to talk about the 2006 sequel, which is best kept invisible altogether.

The Vandals - Live Fast, Diarrhea (re-issue)

Produced by guitarist Warren Fitzgerald, the album features the band’s current lineup, including Fitzgerald, singer Dave Quackenbush, renowned studio drummer Josh Freese, and bassist Joe Escalante, who remains the longest-running member of the group. Despite the band’s tongue-in-cheek humor, nonsensical lyrics, and downright silliness, The Vandals’ musicianship is no joke. The four-piece is in top form on Live Fast, Diarrhea – from Freese’s rapid-fire drumming and Escalante’s tight bass lines to Fitzgerald’s relentless, hard-driving guitar lines, and Quackenbush’s nimble vocals.

It’s the quality of the songs that makes all the difference: CRACKUPS’ craftsmanship is undeniable with clever structures that mercilessly plunge every music fan into an orgy of riotous but superior garage punk.
