Bargain Music – 77 03 – CD

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...

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...

Cher – The Best of Cher – CD (MCA / Universal Records) Ok, I have to admit that I did actually request to review this CD, but please don’t let that taint your opinion of me. Blame it on my mother. She played that fucking Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves...

In My Eyes – Nothing to Hide – CD

by | 2000 | Music Reviews - I

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...

Osker – Treatment 5 – CD

by | 2000 | Music Reviews - O

Osker – Treatment 5 – CD (Epitaph Records) This is just another pop-punk combo that has echoes of Green Day and other Berkeley, CA punk bands in their sound. The sad thing is, they take this genre of pop-punk and do absolutely nothing new with it. The...
