ANONYMOUS INTERNET BASED REVIEW #1

"Total Abuse is really terrible. Their singer is fat and ugly and he just stands there when they play and tries to act weird. They aren't punk and are a total bummer of a band."

"TOTAL ABUSE "SEX PIG" CS - THIS IS AUSTIN NOT LA

This is the super rare cassette edition of the Sex Pig 7" by posers Total Abuse. This is back before they figured out the new trend was to listen to Drunks With Guns and deny they ever liked fast punk in the first place. Its limited to 100 copies and long sold out, just like rusty did. its too bad this band exists, but whatever. "
