"The Mistake"
cd / 12" Clear Vinyl

"The Mistake is the audio equivalent of watching a power washer destroy grime and dirt particles from a piece of decking. Songs like "Touch Us," "Trapped Inside," and "Already Dead" are the epitome of punk and hardcore at its most caustic ceiling. At only 22 minutes in length, This Mistake is ruthlessly efficient and shreds without interruption. Give your music collection a kick in the pants - This Mistake is a jaw-dislocating kind of release." (Pastepunk.com)

"The Dischord and SST Records hardcore ethos collide via savage synchronicity on East L.A.-based Bullet Treatment's latest effort. A fabulously furious assault of both East and West Coast punchy punk adolescence, Bullet Treatment isn't just a mere throwback to the halcyon days of circle pits at CBGB. Sporting an experienced roster - including Bronx vocalist Matt Caughthran - and an album that tears through its track listing at a largely blistering pace ("Hand in Hand"), Bullet Treatment proves there's simply no mistake to be found." (Mean Street Magazine)

"What can be said about BULLET TREATMENT that hasn't already been said, and probably already said by me? They rule. This punk rock-version of MENUDO (rotating lineup - get it?) is back with Matt from THE BRONX kicking teeth in on lead vocals once again. Fucking tight, fucking fast, and FUCKING GOOD. Definitely one of the better CDs I've heard this year. If for some reason you have yet to check these dudes out, stop being stupid and get this right away. If you are at all let down, if you don't think this is some seriously balls-to-the-wall first-rate shit, you're fucked. It doesn't get much faster or much louder than this." (Amp Magazine)

"Although the band is mostly just a side-project, I think with any effort and the proper publicity, Bullet Treatment could bring punk music back to the state it was years ago before the pop punk craze hit the mainstream. When popping in this disc I honestly couldn't believe the sounds I was hearing was merely a side project for a couple of dudes in other bands. With the short length that is pretty typical of older punk and the raw sound that not only recreates the genre as it was before, but also redefines and stretches the guidlines of the music style as it is today, it's safe to say that this clever sounding band influenced by the likes of Black Flag, The Descendents (older), Sick of it All, and Minor Threat could be here to stay for a very long time. Some tracks that really shocked me on this disc were "Coke Nose," "Spread My Legs," "Grindstone," "A Hundred Faces," and "Father and Son". Although mostly very simplistic, the overall shock factor of this disc really hit hard for me, and proved that punk music could still be pretty simple and yet fun. The track "Grindstone" turned over a new page for me in the punk sound, with the inclusion of various vocal harmonies, not to mention the expression of making music for nobody but themselves. Not only does that prove that Bullet Treatment is not trying to just make a copycat sound of the past, but it also shows that they are willing to venture mostly uncharted territory to the genre and express their enjoyment in creating the music they are displaying on the disc. Although the glory days of the Dead Kennedies, the Sex Pistols, Black Flag, and Minor Threat are kind of far past, Bullet Treatment has made a generous and very respectable effort in bringing back that hype around punk that once existed as well as redefine the sound. But this time around Bullet Treatment takes away the past tense usage of greatness and brings it back in full force the way it was years ago. (Skyline Press)

"True to form Bullet Treatment's "The Mistake" is Punk played loud fast and hard. While this disc may be a bit more polished than some of their other work, it doesn't distract from their sound at all. "The Mistake" has the same driving drums and blistering guitar work. In fact smoothing out some of the rough edges has probably made this their sharpest disc to date. Trax like "A Reason For Violence" and "Friday Night" are just flat out awesome fucking songs and this may be the best Bullet Treatment album to date." (Ecto-Mag)

"What More Do You Want?"
cdep

"The spirit of 1980 lives on in Bullet Treatment, fast angry short blasts that I hope will wake up the punk world."
- Greg Hetson (BAD RELIGION / CIRCLE JERKS)

"Fast thrashing hardcore - with feet planting firmly in punk. They've got this classic SoCal hardcore feel to them - think early ADOLESCENTS and CIRCLE JERKS."
- MT (Maximum Rock n' Roll Magazine)

"Fast, Loud, and Hard, the way that Punk Rock was meant to be. Combines elements of the MINOR THREAT / DC scene with LA sensibilities. Play this loud and watch the old folks scatter!"
- Kimm Gardener (CHANNEL 3)

"These guys seem to be getting pretty big and that's so great because this is the kick the punk rock scene needs! The bigger they get the better! They play straight-up hardcore punk that's fast and belligerent and you can't keep track of these guys- it's unpredictable and impulsive and the more I hear, the more I wanna hear. It's got the assertion of MINOR THREAT and the CIRCLE JERKS and a more assertive 7 SECONDS....fucking great stuff...I can't back this shit enough, it just excites me. Sick."
- Marco (No Front Teeth Magazine)

"Dead Are Walking"
Multi-Colored 7" vinyl

"The hardcore juggernaut that is Bullet Treatment is back! This time Liza Graves from CIVET is featured on vocals & the result is kind of like a modern day Sin 34. This is true old school thrash, back to the days before hardcore became another term for bad metal. $ songs here in just under seven minutes, this is the kind of stuff that will stick in your head for days! Buy this now!
- JR (Loud Fast Rules Magazine)

"On this four-song taste from the ever transmogrifying Bullet Treatment, the band's musical chairs take a new twist, and a coalescing Bullet Supergroup springs into action, comprising the following elements -- First, there's the new addition on vocals, Ms. Liza Graves, star (frontwoman) of CIVET. Then, there's Chris of the VOIDS who takes over on guitar on this record. Bullet Treatment guru Chuck D. lays low on the low end, while Dave H. (of The Drips) returns on drums, driving the band with his ever-ringing thunder beat. So is Bullet Treatment going soft? *** No, Wake Up! They'll eat you alive! *** Pick your poison on this record -- it's all fast (except for deceptive build-ups and breakdowns). On wax, Ms. Liza Graves has the raw, heavy smoker vocal thing down pat, and pulls off the "naked chicks with guns" act without a hitch on the striking cover art. Like all the promo literature says, this band is all about the "American Hardcore" style that existed briefly in the 20th century before any metal influence integrated / infiltrated into the punk rock sound. This record is missing a bar code, meaning that in the world of numerically arranged lists of every record, tape, CD, DVD, book, and publication released in 2006, the Dead Are Walking EP won't even exist. This is a shame because, whether it's missing from the global register of Universal Product Codes or not, bar code or no, this will be one of the year's great punk records."

"The Bigger, The Better"
Limited Edition 7" vinyl

"When this hits the stereo it's like a Tommie Gun going off inside your head. For some that's attractive, for others it's annoying. This is the record that will make your parents come downstairs and yell "Turn that shit off !" and you yelling back, "If it's too loud, you're too old !" A bottle of Advil is required for listening."
- Slug Magazine

"The latest release from the ever-changing BULLLET TREATMENT brings you more of what you have come to expect from these guys - loud, fast, serious fucking hardcore punk rock. You'd be hard pressed to find a band who does it better than these guys. On this latest release, a limited edition 7", they've got more new members (they're up to 20+ members now), including a new drummer, bass player, and lead vocalist - yet they don't lose a thing. Think MINOR THREAT meets BAD RELIGION, but a whole lot faster. It might just be 4 songs, but they're 4 of the best songs you can ask for, and when this shit gets inside your head, it ain't coming out.
- MWB (Amp Magazine)

"Split w/ The Nipples"
Red 7" vinyl

"Bullet Treatment and the Nipples are the kind of bands that get labelled as being of the rare, true punk rock breed; bands that are 25 times "punker than you", etc. I'm not going to argue with that fact. These guys could no doubt out shout, out drink, out piss me, and thats just fine. Because the world needs bands like this: Fast, angry, unpleasant bands who don't give a shit who they offend and why. It's a raw punk racket inspired by the ever-restless spirits of MINOR THREAT, 7 SECONDS, et al., and you'll have a fairly certain idea by now whether it's going to be up your street or not. The split comes on hand-numbered red vinyl as a bonus to the collectors amongst you."
- Matt (Kill The Noise)

"This limited edition hand numbered pressing on red vinyl comes courtesy of Basement Records. Let's all agree that vinyl just sounds and feels better to listen to. Can you feel music? All the imperfections are part of the warm round sound you can feel coming out of your speakers. Bullet Treatment The self-proclaimed band that doesn't exist has thrown together a few rare tracks "It's a Setup" is a departure from their traditional style scream inaudible hardcore more along the lines of bands like BAD RELIGION and DAG NASTY. The second track is a sped up version of the DESCENDENTS "I'm not a Punk" and the last song "Jose Molina from West Covina" was recorded at one of their rare shows at the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA. in Oct. 2004."
- AK Ink Magazine

"Split w/ Shellshock"
Limited Green 7" vinyl

"Yes. Yes, fucking yes. Bullet Treatment bring back the razor edged Cali hc sound better than most cats and we're not talking eyelined fucks here people. Real punk. Featuring The BRONX vocalist Matt Caughthran they belt out old school hardcore, from a time when it didn't include any metal bullshit. Their two contributions are more "punk" versions of "Pathetic" & "Francisco Cabrerra" from their What More Do You Want Ep. Shell Shock from New York do old school NYHC and absolutely rip it. Both bands have the energy and all out."
- Tim Scott (Screeming Bloody Mess Magazine)

"Bullet Treatment has all the ingredients of the new breed of spikey top bands like the UNSEEN and CLIT 45, heavily UK'82 influenced. I'm also hearing a touch of those Philly bands like KID DYNAMITE, which sounds weird, but it works. Shellshock is more straight foward ahead UK punk, fast and rough as fuck, just how I like it."
