"CAUSTIC is me, Matt Fanale, so it's actually all my bitch-ass fault." Yes, Matt DJ "Eurotic" Fanale is indeed a real sweetheart – but rather more for his label Crunch Pod Media for which he can be seen as the currently best-selling artist since his last years’ debut release. "Unicorns, Kittens, and Shit" could enter the Metropolis mail order Top 10 charts for some weeks – a not expected success for sure and meanwhile this debut seems to be sold-out. Lately Matt could also invade a free slot on the renowned "Septic" compilation series of the German Dependent label – right in time to take part on the 7th and last issue, since this label will close its doors in a few months. But another and important move for him to earn more recognition in Europe. Harsh electronic-driven Powernoise sounds with bombastic rhythmically efforts infiltrated with a raging Punk-like anarchic behavior – Matt’s musically output is surely not designed for the faint-hearted audience. Thanks to his nationwide work as a DJ and also to his aggressive live performances with global players like KMFDM, COMBICHRIST or TERRORFAKT the train of victory seems to continue on a constant level. "Booze Up And Riot" doesn’t take prisoners and spreads another immense reign of irony out of every track. "We make music to piss you off", the slogan of the Crunch Pod Media label fits on CAUSTIC like with no other else act of the label roster. It’s all about irony and the "we-take-our-business-seriously-behavior" which counts not only for the Electro/Industrial scene – it also seems to count for Matt’s daily life and the people around him. The CD starts "nice" with a sort of introducing rant done by Jared Louche of CHEM LAB aptly entitled "Another Fist in The Ass" (wow, delicious, Matt... aah, and I like you too, you’re for real;-)). It follows the title track, which is one of the very few pieces featuring real screaming vocals instead of using monotonous voice samples - it’s a speedy and angry-driven harsh effort. The price for the most strangest song title he will also win for "The Reason I Broke Up With You Is A Million You Psychotic Wang". But at least and if I try to accept and compare his musically efforts with the last glorious releases of his label comrades ENDIF or CERVELLO ELETTRONICO, which each brought out stellar releases – then Matt fails to reach their throne. He surely will reach much more recognition and better sales for sure, so he will easily accept this slight point of criticism. You'll have to hurry up to pick up an exemplar of the limited 2CD edition of "Booze Up & Riot/The Binge Edition" until also this item will be totally sold-out. Life’s a party, so... BOOZE UP AND RIOT!!!
