Wow. I am sick to death of reviewing bands from across the pond. This time it's Hungry. One of my favorite uh adult actresses of all time was from Budapest. Michelle Wild...yeah...she was a dirty girl. I guess she got married and found God or something. Oh well. ANYHOW, Bankrupt are a very typical punk rock band that I had immense hope for after they used a great soundclip about a girl that wanted to bang a live Elvis vs. a dead one. Bankrupt play very radio friendly that at times sounds like a wimpier Dookie-era Green Day (imagine that! Wussier!). If you heard any band that wanted to be on Fat Wreck or Epitaph in the late 80's Bankrupt is their weakling little brother.
