Duane Peters and The Hunns – Beyond Warped Live Music Series – Review

May 12, 2006

Sounding like a tribute to G.G. Allin, it lacks in both style and substance, leaving only substance abuse.

Devics – Push the Heart – Review

May 12, 2006

In the vein of Zero 7 and Alpha, Devics utilize seductive and sensual female vocals as a focal point around which soothing atmospheres float.

Clearlake – Amber – Review

May 12, 2006

Amber is a self-described “rock record,” one that forgoes much of Cedars’ introspection for more of an uplifting, going-out-at-night good times vibe.

Kiss – Rock The Nation Live – Review

May 5, 2006

A no-nonsense live DVD of a pretty damn inspiring Kiss show. The stage set is classy and modern. Paul and Gene take their responsibilities seriously.

Witch – Review

May 5, 2006

Witch is an absolutely KILLER new band featuring Dinosaur Jr. head-honcho J Mascis, with Dave Sweetapple, Kyle Thomas, and Asa Irons.

The Dandy Warhols – Odditorium or Warlords of Mars – Review

May 5, 2006

One of their members posed nude while eight months pregnant. If you can get past that, they really are making good records.

Municipal Waste – Hazardous Mutation – Review

May 5, 2006

Imagine How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can’t Even Smile Today mixed with Crossover and Spreading the Disease, and you’ve got Hazardous Mutation.

Good Clean Fun – Between Christian Rock and a Hard Place – Review

May 5, 2006

Good god we need Good Clean Fun! The hardcore/punk/emo scene is as stale as month-old gym socks, and eyeliner/bed-headed boys really need to be made fun of.

Resident Evil 4 – Review

May 5, 2006

RE4 was too good for the Gamecube graveyard. Now it’s available on the PS2. Capcom threw in a bonus mission with Ada Wong, the mysterious female gunslinger.

Bad Religion – Live at the Palladium – Review

May 5, 2006

Over two hours of music, capturing the three-guitar line-up over two nights at Hollywood Palladium. There are more hits here than a Barry Bonds steroid streak.
