Teenage Bottlerocket from Allmusic.com

Following the dissolution of Laramie, WY, pop-punks the Lillingtons, vocalist/guitarist Kody Templeman was hardly done with music, moving on to form the similarly minded Teenage Bottlerocket, another group of rambunctious, Ramones and Screeching Weasel-loving punks. Templeman was joined by guitarist Joel Pattinson and identical twin brothers Ray (vocals/bass) and Brandon Carlisle (drums). Recording over at Fort Collins’ the Blasting Room, the guys released their debut full-length, Total, in March 2005 through San Francisco-based Red Scare (the same label that later issued some Lillingtons records). The super-charged album was enthusiastically embraced by fans, and a bunch of touring followed, both home and abroad, including dates with the Groovie Ghoulies and summer 2006 shows with the Epoxies.

Toys That Kill from allmusic.com

Formed in 2001 and performing their first gig after singer/guitarist Todd Congelliere and singer/guitarist Sean Cole played their final gig the day before with their former band, F.Y.P, Toys That Kill are not so different. They include a new drummer, Denis Fleps, and new bassist Casey Ferrara, and Cole, who handled drums and bass with F.Y.P, now sings on a few songs and filters his schooled-on-Slayer-and-Napalm Death background into the occasional hesher-sounding guitar riffs. The songs were now less about elementary school-type traumas, but still fiercely immature and proud. Also, the band seemed to aspire to that elusive and maybe not so important quality that most Recess Records bands scoff at: musicianship. Their first record, The Citizen Abortion, didn’t veer far from F.Y.P’s sound, with the exception being Cole’s more metal-influenced numbers. The EP Flys followed in early 2004 on Asian Man Records.
