Mike Puke – “An Horrific Fracas..” (Self Released)
Click on Cover Art to Order Mike Puke – “An Horrific Fracas..” (Self Released) – Hahahahahahahahahahahaha – hahahahahahahaha …Oh wait this is serious, I think. So this CD is a ten song mess of songs by Mike Puke who wrote, sings, plays guitar, bass, produced and recorded everything (except drums). It’s just a dude with [...]
The Sheckies/Slotcars split – “Clambake”
The Sheckies/Slotcars split – “Clambake” – We’ll start with The Slotcars, they’re a heavily bubblegum Beach Boy style pop punk band. Nothing complex or overly interesting, just super catchy beach blanket bopping 1 minute songs. My favorite of The Slotcars songs is Surfin’ New Jersey. The Sheckies half of the album is also the [...]
Torture The Artist – “Self Titled” (Kid Tested Records)
Torture The Artist – “Self Titled” (Kid Tested Records) Torture The Artist is a three piece super band of sorts with singer and guitarist Jorge Orillac, Mass Giorgini on Bass and back vocals, & Dan Lumley on Drums and Tambourine. All being mixed, mastered, produced, and recorded at Mass Giorgini’s studio the infamous Sonic Iguana. [...]
Revilers – “Stand Or Fall” 7” & “Isolation” 7”(Patac Records)
Revilers – “Stand Or Fall” 7” & “Isolation” 7”(Patac Records) – Man do I have to apoligize to this guys and their label. I’ve had these records forever and they have waited patiently for their review. The 7” they sent got mixed in with my collection. Ok anyway back to their music. Lately I’ve [...]
Higher Giant – “Al’s Moustache” (Black Numbers Records)
Higher Giant – “Al’s Moustache” (Black Numbers Records) Hot damn was I excited reading about Higher Giant on their Bio Page! It says their punk rock pedigree includes; Token Entry, Grey Aream WARZONE, Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Good Riddance & Paint It Black. Are you fucking kidding me!?!?!?” Token Entry. Good Riddance & Kid Dynamite are [...]
Bums Lie – “Why lie it’s for beer.”
Bums Lie – “Why lie it’s for beer.” – Reggae Ska white boys that sound like they hit the ganja a little too hard, fell a sleep at the bong, and woke up pretending to be Sublime. They’re really isn’t much more to say, Bums Lie sounds like a Bro-core Sublime tribute band that plays [...]
Stars in the sky – “Coming Soon”
Stars in the sky – “Coming Soon” – I have to admit based upon the cover art and the band name I was expecting a horrible emo-ish, whiney high pitched, “whoa is me” band crying about something (ie, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, or Forever The Sickest Kids.), so I avoided this CD like [...]
The New 45 (Formally The Glenn Theory Project) “The Kip Winger Demo”
The New 45 (Formally The Glenn Theory Project) “The Kip Winger Demo” – Not a bad demo, the sound is muffled but from what I can tell this is a DIY recording, so not bad (Other then their cover of Runaround Sue which recorded loader, but too high on the treble). The band has potential, [...]
Anchor Down- “Steel To Dust”
Anchor Down- “Steel To Dust” – The tracks are mastered great and Anchor Down harmonizes very well together. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I just can’t get into them at all. There are times during a few of the songs that I think I’m going to love them, but then my [...]
The Lanterns – “Postcard Picture”
The Lanterns – “Postcard Picture” – It’s funny at first I wasn’t really into this EP, because it sounded bland and I thought Courtney Denison’s voice was somewhat monotone. Ironically, what I ended up liking about this album was the underlying complexity and Courtney Denison’s voice (which is a little monotone though out the album, [...]
