Oct 23, 2006 Music Apostasy by A Year To Forget (Review) A Year to Forget have an energy to them and you can tell that their live shows are probably insane from this release.
Jan 15, 2006 Music Warriors & Warlocks by The Mystechs (Review) Warriors & Warlocks is far more fun than it has any right to be.
Sep 28, 2005 Music Data Is Not Information by Frantic Mantis (Review) The album’s goofiness undercuts the band’s attempts to explore deeper, more relevant themes.
Apr 4, 2005 Music Sin Disease by Scaterd Few (Review) A real gem that hasn’t lost it’s energy after almost a decade, and whose impact will probably never fully be known.
Apr 4, 2005 Music On the Cover by Mxpx (Review) This album has a bit of a novelty factor to it, but it’s still really fun, and that’s all that matters.
Oct 23, 2004 Music My First Time by Look What I Did (Review) Look What I Did is a mix of so many different genres that I can’t pinpoint one sound to them specifically.
Oct 23, 2004 Music Teetering on the Edge of Destruction by The Gammits Mw, Members Of The Yellow Press (Review) Am I the only one who loves split albums and wish more bands would do them?
Oct 23, 2004 Music A Call for Solidarity by Cranked Up! (Review) Cranked Up! should only be going higher and higher in the punk hierarchy.
Aug 7, 2004 Music Thwap! by Modern Machines (Review) Modern Machines blew me away with their raw and catchy tunes, showcasing their talent for proper songwriting.
Aug 7, 2004 Music Two Selected Works by I Farm (Review) You can see the two influences throughout this album, be it the insane guitars or almost-robotic-because-it’s-so-fast drums.
Aug 7, 2004 Music Guitar Romantic by The Exploding Hearts (Review) I give it 9 punk power chords, for blistering aggression that makes this an album that is a keeper.
Jul 25, 2004 Music Ear to the Ground by The Vibration (Review) The Vibration take what worked in The Cranberries and Sleater-Kinney and throw in a little Björk as well.
Oct 21, 2003 Music The Death and Life of the Undead Boy by Mercury Radio Theater (Review) Overall, I’d have to say that Mercury Radio Theatre’s music lends itself much better to a live setting.
Apr 26, 2003 Music UFO Romantics by Guitar Wolf (Review) You can’t accuse Guitar Wolf of being unenthusiastic, of plying their punk rock trade half-heartedly.
Sep 19, 2002 Music Unconsciously Confined by The Satanic Surfers (Review) Sad to see a Swedish band so completely copy every facet of American punk rock as to be utterly indistinguishable.
Aug 24, 2002 Music The All-American Rejects by The All-American Rejects (Review) It’s a little punk (but not too much), with some safe mall emo, a cheeky ’80s glam-rock solo or two that Weezer rejected, and plenty of studio sheen.
Dec 21, 2000 Music Ever Revolving, Never Evolving by 30 Foot Fall (Review) Clever arrangements and whip smart lyrics that project a subtle feeling of optimism make for a very enjoyable listen.
Dec 10, 2000 Music The Shape of Punk to Come by The Refused (Review) Punk rock would still be interesting if it sounded more like these guys.
Sep 9, 2000 Music Micro.Paillettes by Prettypony (Review) Every song is short and to the point, which is good I guess, but every song says the same thing in the exact same way.
Aug 19, 2000 Music Department of Our Ways by Fake Brain (Review) Fake Brain’s Department of Our Ways is nothing less than refreshing.
