The Future is a Machine...


This one is a homage to one of my favorite bands, Filth. Filth was a hardcore punk band from the East Bay in late eighties and early nineties, initially featuring members of Crimpshrine, Isocracy and the Vagrants. They were highly influencial in many subgenres of punk such as crust, thrash and streetpunk. Filth put out three records in their career, the Live the Chaos 7 inch, the Shit Split LP with Blatz and the This is Why We Drink split 7 inch with Submachine. Life is Abuse Records has reissued both the Shit Split and Live the Chaos.
The title of this collage and the message on it make up the chorus their song "You Are Shit" from the Shit Split, which goes: The future is a machine... You are shit!
I hope you enjoy the chaotic images of destruction along with the bodies, used condoms and needles spread across the ground. Eventually, I plan on making another which I will call "You Are Shit". I hope you can guess what it will say on the collage.

Here's a sample of Filth's brilliance. This song is called Today's Lesson (not You Are Shit) and is off of their split with Blatz, which was originally released on Lookout Records and has since been reissued by Life is Abuse.
