New Real Disaster – “.Start” (Power 90 Records)
New Real Disaster – “.Start” (Power 90 Records) This is one of the best bands that most of the readers have never heard of. New Real Disaster is an Italian female fronted Power Pop/Punk band with a laid back flowing style that leaves you humming their songs the rest of the day. The only reason [...]
The Ex-Gentlemen – “Demo/EP” (self released)
The Ex-Gentlemen – “Demo/EP” (self released) – A little garage punk, a little pop punk, and a little bit power pop, but a whole lot fantabulous. This is one of the tightest and most put together demo’s I’ve ever received to review. The recording is solid; you can hear the highs, lows, & mids. The [...]
VA-Revenge of PunkRockers – “VOL1” (Voodoo Doll Records)
VA-Revenge of PunkRockers – “VOL1” (Voodoo Doll Records) – No matter how many times it’s been done in the past, I love the idea of a four band split album. It’s just a good way to introduce bands to new people they may not have otherwise reached. Sure most of the time the bands on [...]
She Likes Todd – “Expose Reality”
She Likes Todd – “Expose Reality” – Ok so their not as bad as I originally thought they would be, but that’s not saying much. At times they sound similar to Pennywise, but with a touch more melodic metal riffs. The entire 7” reminded me of a kamikaze of bro-core, metal , & emo. This [...]
Boozed – “One Mile” (Chorus of One Records)
Boozed – “One Mile” (Chorus of One Records) -For some reason this CD got put to the bottom of my review pile and has been stuck there for months. (My apologizes go out to Chorus of One Records for the delay.) Really the apologies should be sent my way for having to listen to this [...]
M-Sixteen-“Self Titled”(Chorus of One Records)
M-Sixteen-“Self Titled”(Chorus of One Records) – Another one of the albums lost at the bottom of the pile and yet again it should have been left there to rot. This album though at least has some edginess to it. Unfortunately for me that edginess wasn’t a razorblade to slit my jugular or cut off my [...]
The Roman Line – Morning Portraits (Merman Records)
The Roman Line – Morning Portraits (Merman Records) – This album is like a big delicious pack of Starburst. There’s a little sweetness, a little sourness, and packed with variety. Like in a pack of Starburst, the variety is all within the realm of waxy fruit flavor. This album is packed with variety all in [...]
House Boat – “The Delaware Octopus” (It’s Alive Records)
House Boat – “The
Delaware Octopus” (It’s Alive Records) – If you’re a fan of The Steinways, then you probably already have this album and if not I’m sure you will love “The Delaware Octopus”. For those of you not on the bandwagon, much like The Steinways, House Boat are a New York based Pop Punk [...]
The Yum Yums – Sweet As Candy – (Kid Tested Records)
The Yum Yums – Sweet As Candy – (Kid Tested Records)
– I never really thought about it until I received “Sweet as Candy”, but The Yum Yum’s sound a lot like The Parasites. Fittingly, this album (which is pretty much a “best of” album) is released by Dave Parasites record Label, Kid Tested. “Sweet as [...]
V/A Compilation – “Protect 2” (GC Records)
V/A Compilation – “Protect 2” (GC Records) All proceeds of this Compilation go The National Association to Protect Children. I love the idea of charity compilations, but when it came to “Protect 2” I was highly disappointed by the song selection on the CD. Don’t get me wrong there are of course some nice songs, [...]
