Ramona and Beezus – Parting – CD (Idols of the Marketplace) Well, this isn’t as horrid as Mite made their last release sound, but it is pretty bad. Actually, a few tracks do qualify as simply horrible. I would call this “record of an angry, young, whiney...

Red Martian – Automaton – CD (Bughlt Records) If you can get past the creepy cover art, you will find a nicely put together post-punk release. On the cover, a girl is shoving a piece of bread that is phallic shaped into the armpit of another girl who looks...

Reel Big Fish – Everything Sucks – CD (Mojo Records) This is a re-release of their debut recording that they released in 1995. Evidently, until now, the only way to get one was to pay exorbitant prices on e-bay. Looking inside the cover and listening to...

Reptilica – Chrome Feather Future – CD (Lens Records) If you’re looking for something really strange, you will find fulfillment in Reptilica! Honestly, I just don’t know where to begin or quite how to size this project up. From what I can...

Reverend Horton Heat – Spend A Night in the Box – CD (Time Bomb Recordings / BMG) I have to admit that I have never heard a Reverend Horton Heat song, ever though I have heard of the Rev. So when we got this release in to review something inside of me said...

Rosetta West – Rosetta West – CD (Rosetta West) One of my friends use to work at a record store and whenever he wanted to clear out the store he had a few records that would guarantee that the store would be cleared out in five minutes or less if he put it...

Radar Mercury – Thankyou, Goodnight – CD (Doghouse Records) These guys sound like Knapsack musically, but they really never let loose and their vocalist reminds me of the guy from The Get Up Kids in a way. Pretty good catchy emo/indie rock for you to...

Rhapsody – Legendary Tales – CD (Limb Music Products) The band Rhapsody is fronted by the singer named Luca Turilli. This release is obviously very similar to Luca Turilli solo CD release. An Italian Symphonic Epic fantasy metal band. The band is influence...

Rainer Maria – Atlantic – CD (Polyvinyl Records) This is three tracks of pure emo. While the first two songs are not exciting or very inventive, the third track Soul Singer is great. Hopefully, their full length will be more along the lines of the final...

Radar Bros. – The Swinging Hatchet – CD (See Thru Music) Slow and mellow alternative type music. A good word that describes this release is dredge. The slow pacing of the music makes me visualize myself trying to walk through two feet of mud. It’s a...
