Sixteen Deluxe – Sixteen Deluxe – CD (Sugar Fix Recordings) You know how when you’re really drunk and the world has a very surreal feel to it? Things look and sound different and though it’s disorienting it’s also kind of fun, but at times you scream to...

Starmarket – Sunday’s Worst Enemy – CD (Pop Kid Records) The first song reminded me of Plankeye in many regards. The rest of the tracks have a great powerful punk-pop sound with hooks galore that makes me think of a cross between Randy and Sicko....
