music reviews of cds/records/tapes/dvds
The Blank Fight….What can I really say about them that will do them justice? Although very short lived, their influence on punk music is apparent to this day. The band features Aaron Cometbus, Cindy Ovenrack, Skott Cowgill & Rymodee. All members of the band are/were in different bands that got together in a punk...
This was an introduction to a funky new sound for me. I had never heard Lionize before this, even though this is their fifth studio album. This album is so bluesy and funkadelic sounding that it instantly became my driving music for my work trek for over a week now. I would highly recommend...
Jeff from the punk rock podcast Needle Drop Radio and Adam from the Seattle punk band Still Automatic have put together a benefit compilation called Punk The Halls. This is a digital album that will be available to download on December 21st through bandcamp with 100% of the proceeds going to starlight.org. Punk The...
Timeshares is what most pop punk bands want to become, with their kick-ass hooks and catchy choruses. The songs compliment each other and the flow on the album makes for a great listen. This was released in October so it is available for your greedy little ears. Go to their page and check them out or...
Wide Angles shoots us another competent 7″ that shows how well these guys can play together. This being their second EP, you can see the progression they are making as a band. Their songs are tight and gritty and pretty catchy. You can grab this one from No Breaks Records and it comes highly recommended....
This demo tape seriously kicks ass and I suggest you go listen to it now and then come back and finish reading. Listen to it at Low Culture’s BandCamp page. This tape is pop punk at its best. The band features members of Shang-A-Lang, Total Jock & Yazatta. The songs are rough and not...
I first heard Turkish Techno on a split 7″ with another band and have since then tried to buy everything these guys have put out. This new LP kicks so much ass and should be a requirement in anyone’s collection. If you have not heard of Turkish Techno, you need to go to their...
Bridge and Tunnel bring us their newest album and it does not disappoint for what it is. Fans of Fugazi and Small Brown Bike will enjoy this album immensely. I enjoyed the album but none of the songs really stood out for me. I would recommend this to current fans and fans of the bands...
Leatherface blows us up with their newest offering, a live album no less. The energy that flows throughout the entire CD is off the charts. The sound is like early Motorhead fighting with Hot Water Music for the music that will be made. I was really impressed with this album and I think that...
