The Bouncing Souls – The Bouncing Souls – CD (Epitaph Records) I haven’t really heard much from Bouncing Souls except for occasional songs on compilations within the last few years, of course, I did disappear for about three years. I remember when I...

El Niño – Niños Con Bombas – CD (Grita!) Español alternativy tunes. The songs at the beginning were pretty good, but the further into the release the quality falters. I really liked the cover art though. - Mite Mutant...

Merciful Fate – Dead Again – CD (Metal Blade Records) Well, there is no mistaking King Diamond’s wailing banshee vocal style. To me this sounds pretty much like any King Diamond album I have heard before. With standard song themes dealing with Satan,...

The Rocking Dildos – Horny Hit Parade – CD (Osmose Productions) These guys sound like Impaled Nazarene to me. Kind of a black metal / hardcore mixture here. No lyrics included with the cd, so I have to guess what these guys are singing about based on the...

The Thumbs – Make America Strong – CD (Soda Jerk Records) Great fast melodic punk rock. I love this stuff great edgy songs that average two minutes each. Jump around and have fun, fun, fun. They remind me of Pezz, one of my all time favorite bands. - Grog...

Brother Cane – Wishpool – CD (Virgin Records) I actually like this album a lot. Brother Cain isn’t going to receive any points for creativity from me, but they play basic rock well, which few bands can really claim. The title track and “I Lie...

Enthroned – Towards the Skullthrone of Satan – CD (Metal Blade Records) Black Metal at it’s finest here. 55 minutes of satanic bliss with songs about Satan, Armageddon, the downfall of humanity/ Christianity, and those cold dark Nordic forests. Pull...

Jeremy Hepp – Demo – Cassette Well, I probably should have let Mite review this, but I’m at the wire. Jeremy plays some great songs on a baby grand and a synth. The songs are really well done and very relaxing, yes something that can get Grog to...

Migraines – Juvenilia – CD (Onefoot Records) A great Midwestern punk-pop release from a band that is really fun to see live. I don’t have the whole story on these guys, but even though this release shows them as a three piece at their CD release...

Ruination – Visionary Breed – CD (Goldtrack Records) I’m sorry. I tried to listen to this but it’s fuckin’ pitiful. It has lame vocals which are wimply sung out with an occasional growl, light guitar wanking, a vaguely metal sounding...
