Product Description World War IX began as an idea looking for a home in 2002. After some different drummers and bassists, the current lineup was locked in after about a year. The band cut a 7-song demo in 2003 followed by the awesome and critically acclaimed LP Panic Attack (9/2004). WWIX has been blowing minds in their live shows since the band's inception and first show in August of '02. The band has caught the attention of such punk rock icons as Maximum Rock & Roll's Mykel Board, who called the band 'my favorite NYC band', and New York Waste editor Glenn Wernig, who, when not being blown away by the band's live stage antics takes the time to comment, 'this is the best live show I've seen in years... World War IX is a force to keep your eye on in the music scene... will prove that your money will be wisely spent to see them and to buy their CD... not many bands value their audience as much as these guys and nobody gives you more bang for your buck.'

CD ReviewsThis is the real deal. I. Parker | Eastern Seaboard | 01/08/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I met the guitarist at MOCCA 09. Walked past a table and noticed a comic detailing the author's obsession with GG Allin. Struck up a conversation for a little while, and I bought a comic- he gave me a copy of this CD. I just found it the other day and listened to it, and I was completely blown away. I can't stop listening to it, in fact I am listening to it right now. The great thing about this album is that, in 2009, after arguably the worst decade in the history of rock and roll, people are still making authentic New York City-style punk rock! There's no overproduced emo whininess here, no cock rock bombast, no corporate sissification, no "pop-punk". This is straight-up amazing music, 100% unadulterated. You can hear influences like the Dictators, Stooges and Ramones coming though the mix, and though I hesitate to compare anything to GG I think World War IX evokes his more listenable moments from time to time. The singer sounds kind of metal sometimes, but who cares? Great lo-fi production values, hilarious lyrics, and some of the best guitar playing I've heard in the past decade. This album is just what we need in these troubled times. If you like American punk rock, oi, hardcore, or 1970's dirtbag rock and roll, or if you are an open minded metalhead with a taste for noisy songs about drugs, booze, sex, work, and life, you should buy this now. Highly recommended."
