Season To Risk Biter B/W Oil Red Decibel 1992 CAT # CS7 4908Season to Risk was an aggressive rock band from KC. I've heard them called hardcore rock and that suits them well. Hardcore in the sense that it's a heavy crushing sound. Too punk to be metal, too metal to be punk. My brother recalls them as a band he used to throw on the tape deck before heading out to skateboard.
They had a revolving cast, but singer Steve Tulipana and guitarist Duane Trower were the core members. This release features Paul Malinowski who also gigged with Shiner. Malinowski was also credited as a songwriter while in the band and added the post-hardcore feel of the group.
In their day, they were one of the more successful KC bands. They signed to a major label, did music video shoots, and were even seen performing in the Hollywood movie Strange Days. This 7" outside of the slick John Wayne Gacy artwork is typical of their sound. 'Biter' is a scorcher, bunch of guitars and a pounding rhythm section. Tulipana runs a ton of vocal effects that make the song and band sound polished and professional. The song was featured on their self titled debut album, as 'Bitter'. 'Oil' is aggressive sludge rock. It's nothing spectacular, but enjoyable.
