âEverybody steps in shit one day. It doesnât matter how cool you are. Iâm sure Elvis stepped in shit,â says Bob J. Reid about the reality of life and its impact on Bobnoxious. As the brains behind this rebellious London, Ontario-based quartet, he knows his shit...especially that which heâs stepped in.

By the same token, Reid and crew donât take any either. Renowned, revered and respected across the nation for their driven rock ânâ roll and endless revelling, Reid, guitarist Jeff Bialkowski, bassist Stan Fountain and drummer David Wyles pull no punches musically or personally.

Delivering another 13-round beating this spring, Bobnoxious unleashes fourth full-length effort SuperScar via Wannabe Records/Fontana North Maple. Their most accomplished effort to date, SuperScar features another raucous collection of raging, celebratory anthems in keeping with the established, indelible Bobnoxious sound and style: bombastic and guttural while still contagiously hook-laden. Tunes run the gamut from the wily tongue-in-cheek âValencrimeâ to the guttural, abrasive thrust of âFlinchâ and sweetly infectious melodies of âNo Holiday in Disneyâ and âHush.â

Of course these Rockaholics inherently douse it all in their brazen sense of humour and steely-eyed observations on humanity (stepping in shit as it were), evidenced on call-it-as-they-see-it âStick It All (Up Your Everything).â Rounding out the festivities, is the bandâs ânoxious take on punk icons The Forgotten Rebelsâ âSurfinâ On Heroinâ replete with guest vocals from the Rebelsâ own Mickey DeSadist. Proud of their diversity, the intrinsic Bobnoxious confidence shines through. Thereâs no need to please anyone else. Reid is blunt about Bobnoxiousâ refusal to compromise with one solitary classification.

âWeâre that perfect fuckinâ drink when ya really fuckinâ needed one,â he grins. âItâs two-fisted, twisted rock ânâ roll. Weâre not spawning some new genre here. Thereâs no way. How many ways can you serve a turkey dinner? Itâs all been done before.â

Still, even if Reid refuses to acknowledge Bobnoxiousâ impact on the current state of rock, the bandâs unmistakeable sound betrays him. Opener â13 Roarinâ Enginesâ with its monstrous, rumbling motor sample foreshadows the power and captivating rock ânâ roll to follow. Thereâs no denying the ravenous prowess and memorable grittiness within. Heavy yet beguiling, Reid notes that SuperScarâs subtle shifting between moods is inherent of his own personal outlook.

âYou donât go around all day screaming. You donât go around all day whispering. The kind of music we write depends on the mood of that day; the mood of the moment when that song is created. You write for yourself,â he declares affirms.

To that extent, Reid declares that much of SuperScarâs greatest inspiration is the unavoidable reality: everyday life, or, as noted, stepping in shit. However, he explicates that in order to be fun those experiences have been turned into humorous, pun-filled relations for SuperScar.

âWhen youâre pissed off, your reaction is spur of the moment. When you write a song, it takes a while. You get pissed off, it gives you the idea and you know where you want to go with it. But you canât stay pissed off forever. The anger should become a parody of itself. By the time youâre writing it out, itâs a whole new problem that day. You have to laugh or you have real problems. I think thatâs why people relate to our music. They understand what weâre talking about because theyâve been there before. But Iâm not trying to save things...Iâm trying to save myself,â he chuckles.

Overall though, Reid has little to ruminate on with SuperScar other than that Bobnoxious is duly proud of it. This record is for them, no one else. The fact that it appeals to beer drinkers and hell raisers across the nation is merely a bonus.

âTalking about music once, someone told me, âMake sure youâre happy. Donât listen to someone else if you donât feel right with it. Itâs you whoâs gonna have to listen to the record 25 years from now. Always make it for yourself.â I apply that every time. People say, âYou should do this...,â and I tell them to fuck off. Thatâs not cockiness. Thatâs confidence because how can you not feel confident when youâre just being yourself?â

âIâm just worried about making sure this party doesnât stop,â he concludes. âIâm having a blast. Itâs not fake. Itâs fun. This is what we do day-in, day-out. This isnât a bunch of Weekend Warrior shit. Every night is Friday night. SuperScar is a party record. Whatâs the difference between this record and the last record? I changed my strings. If the partyâs good, why leave?â

Rockaholics heed your call to arms. SuperScar is the new soundtrack to your Friday night.
