THE PROFIT$ '99-'04

The discography CD, released in the fall of 2005 for our European tour, includes all of our records, including live tracks from a show at the infamous Burnt Ramen squat in San Francisco, CA in 2002 (our first time on the west coast) and a live radio show in Boston from 2000 during our early days of screaming at the world.

Working with a printing collective in the UK , the CD is packaged in an all- paper format, with 3 posters of artwork from the records, and all of our lyrics.

A big thanks to Active Distribution for making this CD possible. Check out their website to find out more about this radical punk outfit based in London, UK.

U.S.ATROCITY
7" released on March 20, 2004
Anniversary of the US bombing of Baghdad-
dedicated to the dead, and those who contine to suffer from the most recent unjust, capitalist, illegal, empire-making fucking war!

"Support the troops is what they say when they send them off to fight. To die for oil and power, and emperor's delight. Liberation is what they said, but all I see is death."

"The third EP from Boston's THE PROFITS blows away all their previous releases by a long shot! Killer old-school punk rock, with a heavy 80's UK influence, which means powerful and melodic songs, memorable sing-along chorus lines, and plenty of raw anger. The extremely political lyrics are delivered in trade off between male and female vocalists, but are backed up by the full band to bring the words home on the chorus parts. This is exciting new material from a band which has gone more than a year since their last release. Highly recommended!" (DS)

PROPAGANDA MACHINE
7" recorded April 2002

After 9-11 President Bush declared, "You are either with us or against us." Fear was used to silence dissent and manipulate the masses while Afghanistan was invaded. Fuck that! "Turn the propaganda machine off!"

"I remember Mike T. saying he hoped the election of George Bush would inspire a new generation of punks to stand up and be heard. Well, here's the PROFITS giving a nice big "Fuck You" to our fearless leader. Solid hardcore with back and forth male and female vocals with an agenda of "speaking out, having fun, and kicking this unjust system in the face." Right fucking on. (DP)
-MaximumRocknRoll, Sept. 2002

"Awesome political punk from Boston fronted by dual female and male vocals and an anti-government, anti-Bush, anti-war stance (and sound-bites.) Their sound is heavy, tight and played fast with a good amount of thick distortion and a driving pummeling energy that also manages quite a bit of catchy bouncing energy. This is an awesome band. I love hearing them on each new release. Solid, powerful, political punk." (Chris) ****

7" recorded January 2001

After George Bush Jr. stole the election, "4 more years of blood and tears" turned out to be all too true.

"Right fucking on! Kick ass hardcore/street punk from Boston about topics more poignant today as ever before. This album provides a wonderful soundtrack to the obnoxious sight of 95% of the USA flipping through the bullshit media hype about why we should all sit idly by flying our flags while Bu$h fucks the Islamic world in the ass with his SuperCapitalist hot poker. In the vein of CRASS and other left wielding voices of truth. The PROFIT$ see through the lies and try and help you do the same. So, if you think this is a "War on Terrorism," wake the fuck up and buy this record." (EM)

PROFIT OVER PEOPLE
Full length CD recorded during the Spring of 2000

As "Seattle smoke was in the air" we screamed "No Profit Over People!" with the rest of the world!

Profit Over People MP3

Secret Cities MP3

"When I first got this CD I got really hooked on it and consequently it was one that I've listened to a whole bunch. They play a really straight-forward style of punk rock that leans to a very '77 type style. Clean and rockin' with a tight energy. There are male and female vocals- again clear and a bit snotty. The lyrics are good- intelligent with a political slant. It's got a rockin' tempo without being "rock" at all, in fact it's totally straight up punk and I really like this band! Few bands these days seem to get their style this straight up without some genre gimmick- and I like that The Profits have the dual m/f vocals, a punchy punk energy that is also catchy and rockin' and with good lyrics. So simple to weave that all together and so damn good!" (Chris) -Slug and Lettuce, November 2000

"A twenty one track full length debut from this Boston-based political punk rock band. Musically old school punk circa UK '82 with alternating male and female vocals and a good sing-along sound."
