Backyard Junkyard

The Goon I was walking in the woods, reflecting on the beauty of nature and complexity of life, when I came to three important conclusions. 1 Sabotage is my 2nd favorite Sabbath album. 2 DJL68 has excellent taste in metal. 3 This album rocks supreme and I waited way too long to buy it.

Bucky The thrash metal based heavy grooves are relentless. High speed technical and calculated, yet intoxicatingly groovy riffs explode amongst a nostalgic heavy rock vocal that is both infectious and powerful at the same time. This never gets old.

Wonderbox Metal Full of hard rocking tunes with confidence and swagger.

Smell the burn Fly and turn Metal scream Loser dream Burnin' steel Grind the wheel Roll em out Cut the feel Screamin' razors Bleedin' hard Time of doubt Start the charge Pumpin' hard and rollin' fast You know the feeling never lasts Ecstasy on the dash Go for home avoid the crash Smell the burn. Fly and turn. Metal scream. Loser dream Fossils burn Now you know Quest is on Time to show Start the roar None alone Pumpin steel Bring it home Push it in and pull it out Give and take there’s no doubt Green lights on it’s time to go Feelings come from below Smell the burn Fly and turn Metal scream Loser dream Smell the burn Fly and turn Metal scream Loser dream Lyrics by Mark Binion ASCAP

Gonna feel it alive Gonna hit it in drive Gonna live my life Gonna feel it alive Gonna hit it in drive Gonna live my life Talking 'bout mason jars Hot rod cars Bloody brawls in the Back of bars Cookin' up Sour mash Race for cash Hand held tight Gonna clash Gonna feel it alive Gonna hit it in drive Gonna live my life Gonna feel it alive Gonna hit it in drive Gonna live my life Gonna feel it alive Gonna hit it in drive Gonna live my life Gonna feel it alive Gonna hit it in drive Gonna live my life Gettin' paid what I’m owed Gears explode Standing tall just to Break a nose Livin' that good old Dixie way Don’t give a damn What you say Cause I’m free Gonna live my life the way I please Cause I’m free yeah free Gonna live my life the way I please Cause I’m free yeah free Gonna live my life the way I please Cause I’m free yeah free Talking 'bout mason jars Hot rod cars Bloody brawls in the Back of bars Cookin' up Sour mash Race for cash Hand held tight Cause we’re gonna crash Lyrics by Mark Binion ASCAP

One eighty proof Pissin' gasoline Needle on the dash Pushin' one nineteen Heart pumpin' Texas Grade A crude Kick ya in the teeth If you ruin my mood Feel life pumpin' Feel it rushin Feel heart poundin' Feel it grindin' One more load Down the road Miles to go They don’t know Burnin' hard Super charged Dump the clutch Don’t need much Four on the floor A fist full of gears Look to the back Blue light nears Ain't catchin' me Keep runnin' on Hammer down hard Cause I’m dead and gone. Feel life pumpin' Feel it rushin' Feel heart poundin' Feel it grindin' One more load Down the road Miles to go They don’t know Burnin' hard Super charged Dump the clutch Don’t need much Four on the floor A fist full of gears Look to the back Blue light nears Ain't catchin' me Hammer down hard Keep runnin' on Cause I’m dead and gone.

Crack the seal and pour it around Gonna line 'em up gonna knock 'em down Ain't gonna stop until ole sun comes round Gonna take more than one to shut us down One shot down Gonna hit 'em all gonna shoot 'em down One shot down Gonna hit 'em all gonna shoot 'em down Keep em comin' on ain't leavin' now Tip the bottom up and roll it out Fill 'em up again we need 'em now One more bottle down now throw it out One shot down Gonna hit 'em all gonna shoot 'em down One shot down Gonna hit 'em all gonna shoot 'em down Can’t slow us down with closing time Ain't done yet we’re standing our ground Open it up and hit us one more time When that one's done we’ll throw it to the ground One shot down Gonna hit 'em all gonna shoot 'em down One shot down Gonna hit 'em all gonna shoot 'em down Lyrics by Mark Binion ASCAP

Ignite the fires That light the night Time it right And start the fight 10,000 horses runnin' strong Time is short don’t be too long Still runnin' rounds Another victim down You’ll beat 'em all in good time And tonight you’ll wear the crown You roll in deep Your heart will keep A furious beat For time is fleet. 10,000 horses runnin' strong Time is short don’t be too long Back through smoke Stage lights on Ambers glow strong Green light GO Still runnin' rounds Another victim down You’ll beat 'em all in good time And tonight you’ll wear the crown The tree counts down You have it in hand Slammed to the ground All others be damned Back through smoke Stage lights on Ambers glow strong Green light GO Lyrics by Mark Binion ASCAP

Aces and 8's 03:57
Started out robbin' and stealin' Gamblin' and card dealin' Mauled by a big ole bear Tin star upon his chest Only he knows best Dealin' out what he thinks fair Stranger come and put a bullet in his head Aces and eights were black now they're turnin' red Stranger come and put a bullet in his head Aces and eights were black now they're turnin' red Wild Bill came to town Gonna lay the law down Six guns of fury found Double dealers best beware Cold hard killers stare Put a man deep in the ground Quick draw gun fight Davis Tutt died tonight Hickok lives his life Found a home in Deadwood Livin' it up and feelin' good Gonna pay for all his strife (First verse) (Chorus) Turnin' red (X7) Lyrics by Mark Binion ASCAP

Got a 50 weight heart and a 12 gauge mind Just rollin' down the road doing my time Livin' the life that I choose You roll snake eyes sucker you lose The road is all I know Feel it down in my soul Got no place to call home Live on terms of my own Burnin' up the road kickin' up stones Ain't lookin' for love just warm bones Not gonna die before I’m dead Not like you in your warm bed The road is all I know Feel it down in my soul Got no place to call home Live on terms of my own The road is all I know Feel it down in my soul Got no place to call home Live on terms of my own Burnin' up the road Kickin' up stones Ain't looking for love Just warm bones Lyrics by Mark Binion ASCAP

Box full of parts I got a fist full of cash. Hand them dollars over and I’m off with the stash Invaders times two with a springer to match Old rigid frame I pulled from my batch Tear that engine down find the bottom full of sludge Top ends burnt brown and the valves wont budge Crack the tranny open it's got gears worn round Gonna rebuild it all for the road to pound Strippin' down paint to a bare metal frame Cuttin' off tabs use a wide open flame Shoot a coat of primer on it base coat's down Next I got the clear for the ride through town Rubber on the rims that will hit the road Peanut tank mounted it was finally found Bolt it all together and I wait no more Kick the engine over hear a mighty roar Lyrics by Mark Binion ASCAP

Chewing on foam and seeing red Laying down tracks pulled from my head Fire burns hot and the floor gets wetter Doing what we can to make it generally better And the tape rolls on General pushes hard you know We’ll hammer out this song One more take is gone On the hill where Pershing’s found In a building halfway round One more time around One more take is found And the tape rolls on We’ll push hard you know To hammer out this song One more take is gone And the tape rolls on General pushes hard you know We’ll hammer out this song One more take is gone And the tape rolls on General pushes hard you know We’ll hammer out this song And the tape rolls on General pushes hard you know We’ll hammer out this song Lyrics by Mark Binion ASCAP

Thundering Herd Durham, North Carolina

Built from the only salvageable parts from multiple defunct bands in a garage on a dead end street full of hot rod parts and liquor stills. A three piece beast of blistering guitar, hammering drums, and pounding bass from the Bull City of Durham, North Carolina. ... more
