War Birth is an album by the punk rock band U.S. Bombs, released in 1997.[4][5]
Critical reception
[edit]The Los Angeles Times wrote that "the problem with War Birth isn't the materiel—vintage punk's sonic arsenal remains potent—but the material, which numbingly recycles petrified punk rock slogans and attitudes."[6] The Orange County Register thought that "the riffs are chunky and plentiful, the lyrics plainspoken and fiery and the mission amiable, if of a piece ... U.S. Bombs' sound wears thin in spots, but you've got to admire a guy who opens his album by declaring 'if there's nothing shakin' by this July, I'm gonna shoot myself up with a speed ball and die.'"[3]
