Randy – You Can’t Keep A Good Band Down – CD (G-7 Welcoming Committee) The first song, Holy Shit, had me checking my CD player to make sure that I didn’t accidentally pop in the first Rancid album. After that jolt Randy settled into a very catchy...

The Resonars – Bright and Dark – CD (Get Hip Recordings) This band has that psychedelic 60′s sound with a bit of modern guitar lead. Whereas a band like Jellyfish tries to modernize that 60′s sound, The Resonars choose to stay truer to the...

Royal Crown Revue – Walk On Fire – CD (Side One Dummy) A new release and a new label for one of the bands that was at the forefront of the swing revival. They have a touch of early rock and roll infused in the first few cuts, but otherwise, it’s pure...

Reach the Sky – So Far from Home – CD (Victory Records) Can you say Obsessed? I started to listen to this disc and heard some standard hardcore, with lyrics about a girl who broke the singer’s heart. Then this continued throughout the whole release,...

Ryker’s – Life’s A Gamble – CD (Century Media) More hardcore / heavy metal crossover music from Century Media. This is hardcore for the new millennium. This release will probably be enjoyed more by the hardcore fan that the death metal heads....

Rye Coalition – The Lipstick Game – CD (Gern Blandsten Records) This release is filled with hard punchy punk where the lyrics are screamed rather than sung. While this band doesn’t have the same great weird songwriting that Crust has, I would almost...

Rabby Feeber – Welcome Magnet – 7″ (Resurrected Records ) Typical hard rocking music with gruff vocals crossing over into early punk rock stylings. Great drinking music. They also have some great cover art and a demented picture of the band on the...

The Rentals – Seven More Minutes – CD (Maverick Records / WB) This album is a very poppy-alternative release. It’s a very commercial release. I guess one of the guys from the band Weezer is in this group and the influence is obvious. The single...

Rhythm Trip – Return of Da’ Dragon – CD Okay, I’ve heard this band so many times before. Well not this band, but the sound is so overused that it sounds like a million other bands just like it. It’s yelling rap backed by a metal sound and...

Road Rage – Nothing to Declare – CD (Radical Records) Fast paced old school punk rock from merry old England. You get that great accent, a song with the word Bullocks in the title and a bunch of Oi’s. This is the original punk sound and I heard they...

Robot – Palm Trees – CD (T.O.N. Records) This poppy-alternative c.d. has a real nice feel to it. This band seems honest. The music is a perfect blend of all the instruments, vocals included. The lyrics are smart and blend beautifully into the music. The...
