A Planet for Texas – You Can Still Rock In America – CD (Diaphragm Records) “Fuck” He said as his jaw dropped. “These guys kill” This record is so much what I am into right now it’s frightening.These guys have beat Out Cold as...

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...

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...

Spring Heel Jack – Treader – CD (Thirsty Ear Recordings) This is a strange thing to be sent to MRZ since it’s ambient/experimental/techno stuff, but it’s a nice change of pace amongst the massive amounts of Punk Rock we usually have to review....

Sonny Vincent – Parallax in Wonderland – CD (Devil Doll Records) Man, this shit is rockin’ !!! Sounds like they are intentionally going for the old ’70s New York punk rock sound and it works like a charm! I’ve heard a whole lot of this...

Darlington / Huntingtons – Split – CD (Melted Records) There’s a hot bowling alley babe with pigtails on the cover, obviously in reference to the title of the CD. I’ve heard and read in other previous reviews of The Huntingtons that...

V/A – Beluga…On the Rocks 3 – 2CD (Beluga Records) Quite a variety of music on this crazy-long 36 song two disc set. Redneck Exorcist blew me away with their Devil Is A Rocker! The song Super-Happy by the Baldwin Bros. was all beats and keyboards and...

V/A – Fall Asleep to This – CD (Smart Ass Records) Yet another Punk compilation to wade through…but, hey, this one’s pretty interesting. I don’t think I’ve heard of any of the bands on it either. Many of the tracks are really loose,...

V/A – Mailorder is Still Fun – CD (Asian Man Records) Man! This is a long compilation! There are 28 tracks in all. Most of the songs are Ska and Punk Rawk / Pop Punk. I especially liked The Chinkees’ Big World, Korea Girl’s B-Side, The...

Billy Mahonie – The Big Dig – CD (Beggars Banquet) Boy, this one is a tough one to really put my finger on. It’s all instrumental. The name of the band seems to come from a character in the cool film Flatliners, starring K. Sutherland, J. Roberts, K....

V/A – Suburban Voice – Dangerously Unstable – CD (Suburban Voice) Quite a lot to digest here; compilation albums are always difficult to review and do justice to everyone involved. I know a little about Suburban Voice zine since I publish my own zine...

The Davenports – Speaking of the Davenports – CD (Mother West) The first song, Girls Night Out sounded somewhat like Paul McCartney / Beatles or XTC. I read the lyrics from that track about the local social scene / nightlife / single young adulthood, and I...
