Plink – The Sleeping Lines – Review

June 28, 2004

Spacey blips and tones, something like Moby meets Enya, with Suzanne Vega-like floating soprano vocals.

Penance – Spiritual Natural – Review

June 28, 2004

A clean, clear vocal attack ala Sabbath, Iron Man, Pentagram, The Obsessed, Trouble, and the heavy rock attack those folks created.

Orange Island – Review

June 28, 2004

Comparable to labelmates Brand New. The album might seem all-over-the-place at times, but that’s the charm of it.

Laguardia – Welcome to the Middle – Review

June 28, 2004

Powerfully emotional “thinking rock” ala Muse, Eleven, and Toadies that’s complex, bombastic, and catchy as all fucking ‘ell.

An interview with vocalist Milo Aukerman

Descendents – ‘Merican – Interview

Jeff Ott – Will Work for Diapers – Review

June 28, 2004

Be it Fifteen’s visceral, melodic punk, or his own solo acoustic material, Jeff Ott uses his creativity to help fight poverty, violence, and injustice.

Impaled Nazarene – All That You Fear – Review

June 28, 2004

These misanthropes have the good sense to blend real punk, thrash, scorching solos, and blackened howls into their assault. And it doesn’t sound like shit.

Horror Pops – Hell Yeah – Review

June 28, 2004

Polka beats and smarmy female vocals, Horror Pops sounds like No Doubt doing rockabilly covers, except for the one I think is actually a Britney Spears song.

Herod – For Whom The Gods Would Destroy – Review

June 28, 2004

A gorgeous combination of Swedish thrash, Finnish drear/thrash/doom and all the things that made Metallica great, sorta in a space between Master and Justice.
