A Perfect Circle – Mer de Noms – CD (Virgin Records) Years ago I became aware of Tool and although I wasn’t too impressed at first, their music really grew on me. Tool has an extremely dedicated following, so this new band fronted by Maynard James...

Intrepid A.A.F. – Songs of Battle – 7″ (Cheetah’s Records) Pretty good stuff as far as Punk Rock goes, and very politically / socially minded. The first song, Shadows Of Swastikas (S.O.S.) is anti-racist and tells the listener to be violently...

The Jimmies – Let the Fat Men Plunder – CD (Panic Button Records) I liked the CD cover photo of the fat hairy belly of the guitarist and the hot Betty Page tattoo on his left forearm, so I thought I’d like the music. Unfortunately, this is just...

Arthur – Loneliness is Bliss – CD (Rock City Records) Upon my first listen to this six song CD I thought, “Gosh, they sure as fuck sound a hell of a lot like MxPx!” Well, wuddayouknow! When I checked out the liner notes, the songwriter is Mike...

Karma To Burn – Wild Wonderful Purgatory – CD (MIA Records) There was no song list anywhere on the packaging or even on the disc itself. It also sounds like there are no vocals on any of the songs except in rare instances. The first track begins with a...

American Heartbreak – Postcards from Hell – CD (Coldfront Records) Jeeze…I don’t really like this. First of all, they have the most moronic lyrics which seem to be inspired by hanging out at the local gas station! But also what sux is that they...

Kittens for Christian – Is that what Sex is Like? – 2CD (Dirtbox Records) The first all-instrumental track made me think of Sonic Youth with that sort of slow distortion-rich guitar style and hot-ass drums (did I say I was complaining?!) On the second...

G.G. Allin – Res-Erection – CD (ROIR Records) What the fuck more could be said about G.G. than has already been said?! I have heard so much about him over the years, and it was big news when he died. I have to admit that I hadn’t really sat down and...

Morphic Resonance – Morphogenesis – Cassette (Discipline Records) This is the debut album from Morphic Resonance, previously known as Dayton, OH’s Iconoclast. Since their name change they’ve also been mistakenly referred to as “Morphic...

Reptilica – Chrome Feather Future – CD (Lens Records) If you’re looking for something really strange, you will find fulfillment in Reptilica! Honestly, I just don’t know where to begin or quite how to size this project up. From what I can...

Snapcase – Designs for Automation – CD (Victory Records) I rarely listen to this type of band anymore and I realized that I miss it. Snapcase is fucking great! This brings back memories of some of the sweat dripping nights I used to spend attending shows...
