Ashbrook Haynes – One Long Chase – CD (Ashbrook Haynes) This is roots rock / country with a touch of blues and while it’s well done it’s not my thing. The overall music is clean and simple with a good beat and the right hooks on the choruses....

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...

Hellchild – Bareskin – CD (Howling Bull America) All the way from across the ocean, comes another Japanese metal band. The only thing unique about this band is that they are from Tokyo, Japan. Growling vocals and fast guitars and you have a death metal...

Homemade – What Were We Getting Into, Before We Got Into This? – CD (Theologian Records) The majority of this release is mid-tempo melodic hardcore. One track Lower Plastic 3 am is a horrid song. It’s like the singer and guitarist are playing one song and,...

The Hellacopters – Payin’ the Dues – 2CD (Subpop Records) Rock ‘n’ roll baby, rock ‘n’ roll. Throughout this release various songs remind me of Whitesnake, Sammy Hagar/David Lee Roth Van Halen, Power Station and so many more...

Engelbert Humperdinck – Ultimate Collection – CD (Hip-O / Universal Records) Move over Ricky Martin and Julio’s kid, here comes the true “King of Romance” Engelbert Humperdinck. My mom was all over this CD. I think she swiped it from me if that gives you a...

Hung Up – Runnin Out – CD (Crack Records) Extreme musical attitude is what I hear when I listened to this release by Hung Up. They do a beautifully chaotic cover of Culture Club’s Karma Chameleon and that’s the low point of the CD. Evil clowns...

Half Pint – Recollection – CD (Cornerstone R.A.S. / Skunk Records) Heraclitus once said that the hidden harmony is better than the obvious. The hidden harmony is celebrated in every note on this incredible release. Half Pint is one of the most underrated...

Hudson Falcons – Desperation and Revolution – CD (GMM Records) Angry, working class street punk. I can see this type of thing coming out of Flint, MI or any other rust belt city. While I agree with some of their social-political viewpoints, I really don’t...

Hi-Standard – Making the Road – CD (Fat Wreck Chords) This is a decent punk-pop band from Japan, but at times they seem to be rushing themselves by trying to play faster than they really can. This causes songs to get disjointed. The two standouts are both...

The Heartdrops – East Side Drive – CD (Melted Records) The music is straight ahead kick ass rock ‘n’ roll. However, the vocals and lyrics are a disappointment. The singer sounds like he’s trying to do a Joey Ramone impersonation on most...

High School Sweethearts – Passing Notes – CD (Get Hip Recordings) Take a bit of rockabilly, a bit of the Ramones and a bit of 50’s rock fronted by a couple of girls and what have you got? You’d have the High School Sweethearts. They are powerful, poppy and...
