I saw these guys at the Rave in Milwaukee, in January, and all I can say is Holy $%@#! I went there expecting to see your “run of the mill – local thrash band”. I was shocked and impressed. I went online the next day and bought their CD, “Method of Madness”. It is now part of my normal rotation. I takes a lot to sound just as good live as you do on your recordings, and Conniption nails it! Looking forward to seeing them live again!

These guys suck. I’ve seen them live a few times and it’s the same shit every time: No dynamics, a giant wall of mushy sound, and stage antics that bring back memories of seeing shitty ’80s hair metal bands when bands like that were actually relevant… in the ’80s. Especially awful is the bass player. The guy needs to learn how to EQ his bass rig because it sounds like an elephant farting into a plastic bag. And when they actually try to slow it down a bit you get a real sense for their musicality, which is essentially non-existent. Playing fast is merely a front to cover up their lack of skill.

I liked this album a lot. It’s quite impressive for an unknown band. Overkill/Exodus guitars with Alice in Chains -type vocals.

“A Method to Madness” is a decent album with some surprisingly killer riffs from an underrated group called “Conniption.” I saw them at the Rave in Milwaukee, and they are much better live.

You could call ’em “Butt-Fuck Monkeys” and as long as the music is there it doesn’t matter to me, but I like their name, too. I mean really Dan, sounds like your sister is the problem, which sounds like your problem, not ours…

…just saying.

A conniption is something my sister has when she doesn’t get her own hotel room on family trips…

…just saying.
