Drug Problem That Never Existed

Editorial Reviews
From the Artist
"One of the last true rock legends, Oliveri is worth a dozen cry baby punkers, nu-metal boneheads and pansexual garage bands put together. All hail Nick Oliveri (QOTSA), the desert demon!"

Blag Dahlia

Product Description
The joint Ipecac Recordings/Rekords Rekords release runs the entire nauseating, yet exhilarating spectrum of Oliveri-and-company's knee-to-the-groin arsenal. A Drug Problem that Never Existed runs the gamut from bare-assed naked in public and forced to beg acoustic guitar & voice ("Day I Die"), to teen-punk anthems delivered with bad-ass intensity ("Do The Headright," "Here We Come," "Jr. High Love"), to thrown-in-just-for-the-fuck-of-it singalongs that are impossible to shake ("So High So Low," "Me and You"), and epics of monolithic proportion ("Four Corners"). Produced by Nick Oliveri with Brad Cook (R.L. Burnside, Vandals, Foo Fighters) and infamous singer/carnival barker/pain-in-the-ass, Blag Dhalia of the Dwarves.

If you like this band, try Winnebago Deal. The 2 Bens that make up this extremely lively Oxford band are currently working with Nick on the next phase of MG, and they are brilliant, especially live. Well worth a look

From punk rock to metal, from hard hit acoustic stories to bass maneuverability. Just the blueprint of Nick Oliveri shows a strategic design for the traits above. His bald head for less air resistance on fast paced slammers and agility. The gangling facial hair to show wisdom of such folk tales as 'All I Can Do". Yes, if Nick Oliveri was a car, I'd feel safe enough to left my girlfriend ride him....not really. Drug problem.. as an album has very few if no problems, they do not exist. Each song has its own flavor but as a whole blends in perfectly together. This is not a bag of M&Ms where each one if a different color but all taste the same. No no, this album is a 4 course meal. Each riff and each moment is different than the rest. It has looooooonggevity and the dexterity to affect you at any point in your life. I dont want to single out any songs as they all have a reason, point, flavor, and are all needed to make such a album. Great albums are the ones you cant just pick out peices, it's immpossible. Dont buy this looking for a Queens, Dwarves, Kyuss, or River Side Rapist (or is he in the bulimics?) album. Look for traits and aspects you love of those bands and you'll find them here along with much more. The most amazing trait about Nick is the ability to not be the same musician band to band to band. The most amazing part about Nick, is now this album.

I saw Mondo Generator opening up for the Melvins and Tomahawk. The show itself was one of the best rock n' roll nights of my life and Mondo Generator (the opening act) blew away the Melvins and Tomahawk. They performed a few cuts off of Cocaine Rodeo and then teased us with a few cuts from "A Drug Problem that Never Existed."
Now this is rock n' roll. Short, dirty, mean, with soul and LOUD. Nick's voice is in top form, Brant Bjork (another Kyuss veteran) is a brilliant drummer and Molly and Dave from Earthlings are a fierce rock duo. Dave Catching looks like he's eighty but man can he wail. Live he just pounds and caresses the sickest sounding riffs out of his Strat and struts around like the rock god he is. Molly has got to be a wild sex kitten, with her hands squeezing the neck of her bass and the short nurses outfit she'll have your tongue on the floor.
The highlights on this record are "Meth I Hear You Callin'" "So High, So Low" "Do the Headright" "All I Can Do" "F.Y. I'm Free" "Day I Die" and the epic "Four Corners."
On this record, Mondo Generator have given you the sonic equivalent of being strung out and sick. Its all here from the ecstasy, to the nausea, to the violent comedown. This is twisted , genuine music from a new scene of rock n' roll innovators. Buy it. While you're at it, get a t-shirt.
