Broken Heroes – The Weekend Warriors – Beer Gut and Drunk Sluts – Review

February 16, 2004

First release by Jersey Oi! masters Broken Heroes since ’99. Surprising, considering how good they are. Weekend Warriors show their steel city roots. Almost more hardcore than Oi!

Blue Sky Goodbye – Look on the Bright Side – Review

February 16, 2004

Blue Sky Goodbye are part indie, part punk, and their album is very earnest and charming. But the singer sounds David Bowie singing for a metal band.

Bleeding Through – This is Love, This is Murderous – Review

February 16, 2004

Think Swedish death metal mixed with metalcore, kind of like Swedish metal pioneers At the Gates meshed with brutal heavies Hatebreed.

The Quill – Hooray! It’s A Deathtrip – Interview

February 16, 2004

An Interview with guitarist Christian Carlsson

Big Midnight – Everything For The First Time – Review

February 16, 2004

Hellacopters naysayers may say that band is too derivative to influence others, but said naysayers have obviously never heard Big Midnight.

+/- – Plus Minus – You are Here – Review

February 16, 2004

Somehow +/-, once known more for its “members of Versus” tag than anything else, have transformed into indie rock’s brightest contenders.

Pissing Razors- Evolution – Review

February 16, 2004

Remaining hard to categorize (Superjoint crossed with The More Things Change Machine Head?), given its versatility, but also similar to too many other bands.

First release by Jersey Oi! masters Broken Heroes since ’99. Surprising, considering how good they are. Weekend Warriors show their steel city roots. Almost more hardcore than Oi!

Sepultura – Roorback – Review

February 16, 2004

Derrick is just any shouter, and his phrasings here are laughable, like he was given finished tracks and told to come up with something quick to strew on top.

Antifreeze – The Search For Something More – Review

February 16, 2004

With their second album, these four boys from Wisconsin effortlessly blend punk, emo, pop, and straight-up rock.
