5 stars embury meets shatner
i dont think theres much more to describe the locust other than imagine a star trek army battling it out with phasers at a napalm death concert at the same time a plague of...insects of some sort swarm around...add a healthy dose of confusion to that and youve got the locust.

1 stars This band is a plague
I laughed almost hysterically the first time I heard Locust and still play the CD for the amusement of unsuspecting friends. Clearly, the band intended to express their great San Diego angst with the pure emotion of punk. The result is just polka where the accordian is replaced by an amateur, wailing scream. If only the music were as interesting as the titles ---
