This Richmond, Virginia-based trio may be best-known for burly bassist/frontman Michael Bishop, whose previous gig was appearing as Beefcake the Mighty in GWAR. But Kepone shares almost nothing in common with the over-the-top shock-rock of his former band, except possibly an affection for excessive volume levels. On Skin, Bishop and company manage to squeeze more excitement from one repetitive riff than most bands get from an entire set. Their sound taps into a similar post-punk vein as Helmet and The Jesus Lizard, using every ounce of melodic energy in their arsenal to create ballsy, teeth-rattling noise-rock that rides like my old, battered Ford Gran Torino with the 351 hp engine. With frantic tempo changes, pummeling riffs, and shrieking vocals that make Bishop sound like the bastard son of David Yow, Skin is almost overwhelming in its monolithic badness. If you like rock, chances are you'll like this. Bret Love, All Music Guide

Kepone Factory From the In God We Trust Inc original session that was lost when the reel deteriorated. The final versions that made the albums were all different second versions, but the originals are preserved here. Check my videos for the rest of the songs.

In early 1976, news reports revealed the poisoning of workers at a recently closed small chemical plant in Hopewell, Virginia, that had manufactured a pesticide called "kepone." A total of 29 workers were hospitalized with nerve damage. At congressional hearings, it was revealed that OSHA had fumbled an early opportunity to detect the kepone danger. A worker from the plant had tried to file a health complaint at a local OSHA office. OSHA, however, treated his case as one of job discrimination, since he had been fired, and did not recognize or follow up on the health aspect. This clip is from the 1980 film, OSHA. The entire film is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1N48Z5HerAKepone is a carcinogenic insecticide related to mirex, used between 1966 and 1975 in the USA for ant and roach baits. It was produced by Allied Signal Company in Hopewell, Virginia and produced nationwide pollution controversy due to improper handling and dumping of the substance into the James River. Its use was banned in 1975. For more information, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepone . The following song, Kepone Factory, by Dead Kennedys, can be heard on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a41PUZ2oRc I finally found a job in a paper Movin' barrels at a chemical plant There's shiny-looking dust on my fingers Goin' up my nose and into my lungs It's the Kepone poisoning-Minamata Kepone poisoning-Minamata At the grimy Kepone Factory Turning people into bonzai trees Now I've got these splitting headaches I can't quite get it up no more I can't sleep and it's driving me crazy I shake all day and I'm seeing double Kepone poisoning-Minamata Kepone poisoning-Minamata Gonna go down your big metal building Gonna slam right through your bright metal door Gonna grab you by your sta-prest collar And ram some kepone down your throat The lawyer says 'That's the breaks, kid Gonna gnarl and rot the rest of your life If you don't sue, we'll give you a Trans-Am:' That I'll never drive cos I shake all the time 'Cause of the Kepone poisoning Minamata At the grimy Kepone factory
