Bargain Music – 77 03 – CD (Beatville Records) Maybe it’s just because they’re from Long Beach, CA too, but Bargain Music just wants to be Sublime. Everything about this is a complete rip-off: lyrical and vocal style, the ska influence, all of...

V/A – Give ‘Em the Boot II – CD (Hellcat Records) Along with sunblock, Simon LeBon from Duran Duran (back around the ‘Planet Earth’ and ‘Rio’ days), and a copy of Trainspotting (the book, not the movie), I would take Hellcat...

Plan A Project – Spirit of a Soldier – CD (Go-Kart Records) This is pretty typical sing-along-chorus type of punk rock. The lyrics are pretty thoughtful, and the songs are quick and energized. The vocals are a bit lacking; I think a stronger, rougher voice...

Noxious Emotion – Symbols – CD (ASDR Musicwerks) Seattle’s Noxious Emotion presents a great slice of darkwave with the full-length release “Symbols”. Combining hypnotic, strong vocals with a throbbing drum beat, “Symbols”...

Man Scouts of America – Crash Course – CD (RAFR Records) Okay, I chose this CD to review because I thought that Man Scouts of America was a pretty bitchin name. Not only that, but going by the cover artwork and the photos inside, I thought this would be a...

In My Eyes – Nothing to Hide – CD (Revelation Records) Hardcore a la Gorilla Biscuits with a really nice, tight sound. Sweet Pete lays down some great vocals, and the guitar work of In My Eyes is some of the best I’ve heard from a hardcore band since...

Stuart Hart – Inner Voice – CD (Mother West) I have no idea how this CD got sent to Mutant Renegade Zine for review. It would be much more appropriate for something like Soft Rock Weekly, if such a publication even exists. “Inner Voice” is, in...

The Eyeliners – Here Comes Trouble – CD (Panic Button Records) Ahh…I love this CD! I’ve had it in my car stereo since I got it. This trio of hot punk rock girls (so my boyfriend says) have a definite Ramones influence; their song Rock n’...

Core – The Hustle is On – CD (Tee Pee / MIA Records) Oh God…I know this CD had to have ended up in the unclaimed pile, and I got stuck with it. Oh, the humanity… anyway, Core really sucks. “The Hustle Is On” is a collection of...

The Casualties – For the Punx – CD (GMM Records) Gutter punk ’77 style straight outta NYC. These guys have the look (the mohawks, the bondage pants, the spiked leather), and the snotty attitudes to match. Great live photos, and the cover is nice and...

Bombshell Rocks – Underground Radio – CD (GMM Records) Punk rock yet again. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either. The title track has a nice sound to it: kinda Rancid-like (the band, not maggot-infested meat), and it has a sing-along chorus....

Allister – Dead Ends and Girlfriends – CD (Drive Thru Records) If MxPx-style pop-punk is your thang, so to speak, then Allister will definitely enjoy a place in your music collection. Named after that bizarre “What are you talking about?”...
