In a grungy warehouse in the sweltering yearlong
summer heat in South Florida, BISHOP was
born. Countless shows up and down the US, a full
length release on Ferret Music, a self-released
7” and a split CD with THE RED BARON all have
led BISHOP to where they are now, and it isn’t
meant to be pretty. What started out as an angry
wall of sound from discontentment to inspiring
lyrics, has turned into breakneck, fast-paced
thrash to slow dirty groove to up-beat pulses
of fury. Lyrics mostly dealing with the negative
aspects of life and the human condition are in
these 14 songs of their sophomore effort, Drugs.
It’s easy to relate to the macabre and indignant
themes on Drugs, especially as a modern day
cynic. There are no gimmicks here, just grim
reality.
