Canned Heat 1967-1976 – The Boogie House Tapes – CD (Rockalachian Records) Twenty-nine tracks on two discs of nothing but good old-fashioned blues-rock, or Boogie as Canned Heat likes to call it. According to legend, The Boogie House is the home of radio...

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...

Man Scouts of America – Crash Course – CD (RAFR Records) Okay, I chose this CD to review because I thought that Man Scouts of America was a pretty bitchin name. Not only that, but going by the cover artwork and the photos inside, I thought this would be a...

Noxious Emotion – Symbols – CD (ASDR Musicwerks) Seattle’s Noxious Emotion presents a great slice of darkwave with the full-length release “Symbols”. Combining hypnotic, strong vocals with a throbbing drum beat, “Symbols”...

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...

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...

V/A – Go-Kart vs. The Corporate Giant 2 – CD (Go-Kart Records) Go-Kart records has some nice-ass punkers on their label, and this compilation features the best of them. Great examples of snotty, hard-hitting PUNK RAWK!! abound. Even the graphics are rad:...

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...

Bombshell Rocks – Underground Radio – CD (GMM Records) Punk rock yet again. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either. The title track has a nice sound to it: kinda Rancid-like (the band, not maggot-infested meat), and it has a sing-along chorus....
