Pezz – Warmth and Sincerity – CD (BYO Records) Pezz have been one of my favorite bands for years. This release has more of a Social Distortion feel to it, but it’s still Pezz sounding. Actually Marv seems to have evolved to a Mike Ness singing style...

Screeching Weasel – Emo – CD (Panic Button Records) I could sum this up in three words – “It’s Screeching Weasel” (ah Steve is that 3 or 4 words?) [It's is a contraction, so it counts as one word, therefore it is three words total....

Tales from the Birdbath – Baron Von Birdbath – CD (eMpTy Records) This is Ean of Sicko’s new band…well it’s not really a band it’s more like Ean’s solo project with help from his friends. Many of the songs were written by his friends, but it still has that...

Witch Throttle – Gush – CD (H.Q.) I love the titles of the songs on this c.d. However, (Give My Dead Body To) Karen Greenlee, Grapejuice Messiah ’98 and Girlilla fail to live up to expectations. This band has a hard rock feel, as they tend to focus...

V/A – Forward ‘Til Death – CD (Lookout! Records) If there is just one compilation punk c.d. that you can afford this year it better be this one. This c.d. features tracks from all of Lookout Records releases in 1998. The bands that you will find on...

Alessio Vlad – Besieged – CD (Milan Records / BMG) This soundtrack is wonderful. The premise behind the movies is the coming together of two people from totally different cultures. This soundtrack brilliantly reflects that in its interweaving of Classical...

The Bithlo Mullet Revival – Whores, Beer and Dirty Old Men – Cassette My tape keeps fucking up so I can’t get an accurate account of this band. From what I hear they seem to start songs with various styles then turn it into punk rock with a vocalist who...

Common Rider – Last Wave Rockers – CD (Panic Button Records) It’s slowed down snotty punk with a bit of a groovy reggae feel. This band does actually sound like the last of the wave rockers. While this release doesn’t really grab you by the...

Fairmount Girls – Fairmount Girls – Cassette Four songs of catchy pop-punk is what you get with this release. I found the overall sound enjoyable, however some factors, such as poor production, made this just another punk-pop band. I am looking forward to...

Goodnight Star – Goodnight Star – CD (Tooth & Nail Records) This Christian synth-pop ensemble has the holy spirit helping out on this c.d. With it’s Soft-synth sound coupled with a steady rhythm and quiet vocals this band reminds me of a mellow...

Kid Brother Collective – Kid Brother Collective – CD KBC play great bass driven emo with alternating melodic and buzzsaw guitars and nice melodic vocals. I also like how some of the songs have intertwining choruses. I think with a bit of work on some of...

Valarie Morris – TransFormations – CD (Skyblue Productions) This release is a mixture of sound scapes composed by Valerie. It seems that all the songs are played on her synth. While I liked many of the songs that make up this release, I feel that overall...
