BYO Records – “Let Them Know” (DVD)
BYO Records – “Let Them Know” (DVD) It’s amazing to think that BYO records, a label started by accident is around today and still thriving. This box set is a packaged walk down memory lane for many. The DVD is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen in general. I wouldn’t call myself [...]
BYO Records – “Let Them Know” compilation CD
The CD
At first I thought the “Let Them Know” compilation CD was fantastic, but upon the second listen really only liked about 50% of the songs on the CD. The CD is a mix of old and newer bands covering songs from BYO released albums. The stand out songs are;
Off With Their Heads – [...]
The McRackins /Los Di Maggios – Split
The McRackins /Los Di Maggios Split – The McRackins get a lot of shit for their on stage costumes (Two Eggs and a Dog). So the first time I heard them I was surprised by their sound in comparison to their Juggallo resembling attire. For those who haven’t heard The McRackins before this [...]
Dear Lanlord – “Dream Homes”
Dear Landlord – “Dream Homes” – Are you fucking kidding me? This was one of the more hyped albums to be released in 2009 and the hype was worth every stupid comment made leading up to the release. Not only do I consider this the best of 2009 (to this point), but I would [...]
Suburban Hostage – “Unified theory of critical thinking”
Suburban Hostage – “Unified theory of critical thinking” – This four song intro to Suburban Hostage really reminds me of the old Good Riddance demo. It’s heavily politically charged without being preachy, lead by hammering drums, and slightly scratchy melodic skate punk vocals. Much like the Good Riddance demo songs, Suburban Hostage takes a cornucopia [...]
Carbomb Creepshow – “Dr. Seuss and the Acid Factory EP”
Carbomb Creepshow – “Dr. Seuss and the Acid Factory EP” – Super Fast, but musically & lyrically understandable. Raw, but calculated, plain old high speed, no frills, energy filled punk rock. Since the last time I heard Carbomb Creepshow (They were pretty rough and the recording was horrible), they seem to of practiced [...]
Boobie Trap – “Restraints”
Boobie Trap – “Restraints” – I’m thinking that the singer of this band must have amazing breasts, that hypnotize show goers into sticking around to watch their sets, hence their name “Boobie Trap” This really is the only plausible reason I can think of that would make me stick around for a whole set. [...]
