Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking

by Eugene S. Robinson

supported by

Benedetto Manzella As someone who has trained in some type of fighting art for most of my life, the intense honesty in which Mr. Robinson talks about fighting only drives me to train harder & remind me of why fighting is so normal & yet mystical all at once. Favorite track: My Shrink Asks A Few Questions In A Thinly Veiled Attempt At Seeing If He's Got The Stones To Take Me On.

carlosjsantos The atmosphere is one of a Barry Adamson record. It never feels as long as the minutes it lasts, which is an upside. I left with a few things to think about, another good sign.

about

Our man Eugene Robinson—you know him as the dude who choked you out at the Oxbow show—has been threatening to write a fight book for some time now, and the good folks at HarperCollins finally told him to put his mouth where their money was. the result is FIGHT: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Ass-Kicking But Were Afraid You’d Get Your Ass Kicked For Asking, a black-eyed, split-lipped, bloody-knuckled journey into the black heart of the fistic arts—from Ultimate Fighting, underground fight clubs and kickboxing to soccer hooliganism, vicious “rock n’ roll” prison-cell combat, and good old-fashioned bar brawls. The best part is that we managed to convince him (actually, it didn’t take much convincing) to record an audio version of FIGHT for release on 2xCD. The tapes he sent us play out like Ray Liotta’s voiceover from Goodfellas transposed across a series of merciless, technically proficient beatings—only without all the messy coke scenes and, like, antipasto. Come get some.

I don't mean to be a "first albums only" elitist or anything of the sort since I didn't even discover these guys til maybe a year and change ago, but truth be told- the demo tracks are my favorites despite Deafheaven's undeniable growth and evolution into a broader sort of awesome. satangutsandchristcorpsepaint

Back when I smoked I used to get stoned out of my gourd, sit in my comfy chair on my porch and jam this album. Still just as stunning sober but Rooks Across The Gates would leave me in a puddle. ObsidianGhoul
