Artist description Tard Core. A bunch of pushing middle age rock musicians that got fed up with the music scene. The basic idea behind the band is that nothing is sacred. The band is sort of a modern age Spinal Tap with a lot more shock value. This is the kind of thing th at will eventually cause people to form cults and kill themselves. Currently the band has a new album on Root-O-Evil Records called "Butt Outta Hell". Order the damn thing, it's got tons of stuff not available here! You can order buy going online to http://www.rootofallevil.com or call toll free at 1-800-663-2070. Our producer would really appreciate selling a few of these and so would we! So be a sport and shell out $8:00 plus shipping and handling and order a goddamn disk! Pretty please with sugar on top?!∞

Press Reviews "As I walked into Ryan?s on Thursday night, I was visually and sonically assaulted by local band REVEREND POKY BUNGE. Before me was a long-haired, overweight shirtless guy wearing a cardboard mask, Bermuda shorts, knee-high black socks, and dress shoes b elting out hardcore songs backed by a band which included another heavyset guy wearing nothing but a loin cloth and body paint. Normally, I would have turned and fled when faced with a situation such as this, but for some reason, I was strangely intrigue d.As the music continued, I realized that the members of this band had their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks, and they were up there having the time of their lives hoping that the audience were appreciating the gag. I was definitely having a blast! After a couple hardcore numbers, they launched into a touching, weepy version of ?Puppy Love? complete with howling/whining dog sound effects. They then played a blues song, a country song, and a loungey ballad before finishing up their set with a couple thunderous, heavy industrial pieces. To my surprise, they played each style rather convincingly, and I was impressed with their ability to change musical genres so drastically.The band calls their style of music ?lounge core? which is more or less a surreal blending of lounge music with hardcore punk. The members of the band feel that a musical performance should be fun, and they certainly conveyed that during their show." -Scott Pakudaitis, MTV Online reporter"I hate these motherfuckers!" -Jesus H. Christ
