Bishop never sleeps, and their latest release, the “Asylum” 7” on frontman Peter Kowalsky’s own label Dead Truth Recordings attests to that fact. It feels like yesterday that the band dropped their sophomore full-length “Drugs” on us like the very anvil that constitutes Dead Truth’s logo, and already they have blessed us with a new batch of songs to string us along like the rats we are, and like with every Bishop release, it’s easy to fall in and listen incessantly until we’re screaming along with Peter’s confessional/confrontational lyrical poetry, playing air guitar to Sam Kooby’s lean and mean riffage, or air drumming along to Peter Pippen’s attack-style drumming. The “Asylum” 7” consists of three songs recorded during the “Drugs” sessions which surely would have fattened up the already-short album a bit had they been included, thus bringing “Drugs” up to par with “Suicide Party” in terms of length. But so long as they are finally released in some form, fans should be making the extra effort and adding “Asylum” to their discography. “The Guilt” and “Snakes and Fakes” are the two original gems that Bishop lay down here, and they would have been two of the more sinister tracks on “Drugs” had the album benefitted from their inclusion. Both clock in under two minutes in true “Drugs” fashion, and are driven by infectious, rumbling bass-lines that are impossible for a tough guy not to hum along to. Also, in line with Bishop’s hidden heart-breaking track from “Drugs,” Saves The Day’s “You Vandal” they deliver another knockout cover rendition of post-emo heroes Further Seems Forever’ "Pictures Of Shorelines.” Think of Terror, Kids Like Us, Trapped Under Ice, No Warning, but all on speed.
