Pinehurst Kids – Viewmaster – CD (4 Alarm Records) “Viewmaster” is my favorite release of the batch. The songs are crisp and poignant. They are full of energy and the rhythm of the music is reminiscent of a simpler time in our lives when all we...

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...

Pavement – “Terror Twilight” – CD (Matador Records) I was being absorbed into an especially puffy couch on Saturday. It was one of those parties after the bars closed -strictly diehards, lots of listless staring at the various ashtrays, cans and...

Phobia – Destroying the Masses – CD (Pessimiser Records) Brutal death metal. Fast as imaginable drumming. Typical growls and screams. Sounds like Brutal Truth, and Napalm Death. Recommended 7/10 - Johnny Death...

John Popper – Zygote – CD (A&M Records) What’s so funky about this release is that upon first listen during the MRZ staff meeting (you call it a staff meeting? – Ed.), I made the comment that it sounded like Freddy Fender. Wouldn’t...
