American Steel – Every New Morning – 7″ (Cheetah’s Records) Rough punk with rock ‘n’ roll attitude. The guitar licks are true hard rock groove while the vocals retain true punk rock grit all the way through, even on the tune No Tears. The tunes...

Blue Taxi – Ridin’ Shotgun – CD (Mudpuppie Records) I gotta admit that I have a weakness for good blues. The kind you’d hear in a little, out-of-the-way club on a cross-country trip. The kind that nameless bands play for nameless audiences....

Consolidated – Tikkun- Survivor Demos – CD (Orchard Records) I haven’t heard anything from Consolidated for a while, so I was excited when we got this release in. I was a bit disappointed. At first, I was wondering if this was the same Consolidated that I...

Dinosaur Jr. – BBC in Session – CD (Fuel 2000 Records / Universal Records) You get 10 songs from the almighty Dinosaur Jr. on this disc spaning from ’88 to ’92. As expected it GREAT! Hmmm, don’t really know what else I can say. If you...

Forge – Trials – CD (Static Records) I had to force myself to listen to this slick corporate rock band. I kept looking at the clock to see what time it was to see if I was close to the end, but time seemed to be ticking backwards. Forge is pretentiously...

Groundswell – Corrode – CD (GIG Records) I think my brain corroded away as I listened to this. This band sounds like a bunch of college boys who are trying desperately to impress the girls in order to get a little nookie. In their minds, they are mixing a...

Jucifer – Calling All Cars on the Vegas Strip – CD (Crack Rock Records) Jucifer has caught the “We’re all stars now in the Dope Show,” Bandwagon and they are going on a hayride bound for hell. Jucifer creates depressing and barbiturate influenced imitation...

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...

NOFX – The Decline – CD (Fat Wreck Chords) I just love this snot-punk band. What you have for this CD is that great NOFX sound as they offer up six politically inspired songs. Like every NOFX release that I’ve heard so far, there’s not one bad...

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...

Shift*D – …From the Pages of Chad Muskoka – CD (Crack Records) Truly awful!!!! This collection sounds like someone sat on the instruments. Wait a minute!! Is someone playing the bagpipes? All the songs are about this girl who leaves the lead singer...

The Tantrums – Motels – CD (Cheetah’s Records) The Tantrums are a quartet hailing from Alameda, California. The cover of “Motels” is reminiscent of the Pontiac Brothers 1985 release “Doll Hut” that features photographs of...
