Press Reviews GIRLS GONE WILD What do you get when you mix large amounts of alcohol, a love for half-naked women and an overall desire to have a good time? If you said the makings of an awesome girls-gone-wild video your right, but it just so happens it's also the formula for Tacoma's own Drunk As Usual. A four piece, self described mix of punk rock, metal and Rainier Beer, Drunk As Usual will play Planet Hot Rod in Fife on Saturday August 4 as part of a double CD release party with Weight of the World. A designated driver is recommended as the boys in Drunk As Usual rarely leave the crowd in anything less than a drunken frenzy. Lead singer Terry Mriglot said that the band's number one goal has always been having fun. "We've all been in bands in the past that have been really stressful. Drunk As Usual is a totally stress-free situation," said Mriglot. "We've had some major label interest, but that's not really our main concern. It's all about having fun." With two and a half years as a band under their belt and all ready having survived a change of lead singers that saw Mriglot assume the position a year ago, the band will release their second CD Saturday at Hot Rod. Coming a year after their first release, a live CD recorded at the Mothership, Drunk As Usual's first studio recording continues to illustrate the bands extreme diversity and many influences. "We're not strictly metal, and we're not strictly punk." Explained Mriglot. "It's cool because our diversity allows us to play with a lot of different bands. We've done shows with Church of Hate and Suffergauge but we've also played with bands like Sea Jayne Trip." Drunk As Usual bill itself as a good time, and the band is good at what it does. Not only will you get a free copy of their brand spanking new CD just for showing up at the Hot Rod Saturday, but you'll probably wake up with a substantial hangover to boot. Well worth the headache, Drunks As Usual's CD release party will surely be just that - a party. Drunk As Usual play with The Weight of the World and Excon Saturday August 4 at Planet Hot Rod in Fife. - Matt Driscoll TR
