Brick Mower – Box Turtle 7″

This record is one of the coolest things I have gotten in a while. It is a clear, lathe cut, flexi-disc and there were only 50 made. So who would give us something so cool that you would trade in your first born? Stumparumper Records, that’s who. Brick Mower has had albums and singles out…

Joyce Manor & Summer Vacation Split 7″

Another great split from Muy Antentico Records, this 7″ boasts that it has two of the best Southern California bands that you’ve never heard of. While I had heard Joyce Manor before, this was my first experience with Summer Vacation. Summer Vacation has 2 songs on their side and both are typical pop punk style songs. Nothing…

Pretty Boy Thorson & The Anchor Split 7″

This split 7″ comes to us from Muy Autentico Records. This split has a pretty funny story behind it if you go to the Muy Autentico page and read it. The songs are solid and this split shows how well both bands can play. The Anchor has a faster and more raw vibe to it…

Circa Survive – Appendage EP

This EP follows closely behind Blue Sky Noise, and is actually comprised of B-sides and 1 demo from that album. If you enjoyed Blue Sky Noise, you will surely love this EP. Although the instruments are played well and the vocals are strong I just cannot give this more then 2.5 stars. The sounds are…

Dirty Tactics & Bangers Split 7″

This split 7″ has two solid bands on it, Bangers and Dirty Tactics. Dirty Tactics covers a Crimpshrine song, “Another Day”, awesomely. They are reminiscent of the Bay area punk scene where Chrimpshrine thrived. On the flip side is Bangers who offer up almost a sing along style of punk songs. This is a pretty solid…

Fat Music Volume 7 – Harder, Fatter and Louder

This is truly an easy CD to review. All of the songs are great and Fat Wreck Chords does a great job putting together the songs to flow. My only complaint really is that it took them over 8 years to put out the 7th installment in this great series. With bands like NOFX, The…

Atmosphere - To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy

Over the years growing up in the surrounding suburbs of Minneapolis, MN, I’ve watched ‘Slug’ aka ‘Atmosphere’ hustle his way into the music industry.  Arguable the most commercial successful artist thus far from his label, “Rhymesayers”, Slug’s work ethic is the opposite of that of a slacker.  Rhymesayers label also include artists such as, Brotha…
