Sadus – Out For Blood – Review

June 30, 2006

Still around after 20+ years. Despite having never been a major player in the thrash/death scene, the band have persevered without losing an ounce of potency.

Forgive Durden – Wonderland – Review

June 30, 2006

While I applaud their attempts at becoming “more serious” by tackling concept albums, almost every product from such thinking has resulted in absolute garbage.

Demented Are Go – Hillbilly Storm – Review

June 30, 2006

Raw cut and pointed in one direction, but in a full-on way that’s halfway to ’70s glam’s big beat, as well as the primal ’50s nervous hiccup.

Cannibal Corpse – Kill – Review

June 30, 2006

Catchy, brutal, technical, well-recorded, and gore-a-riffic as anything the band have ever done, which means there are going to be a lot of happy longhairs.

Angels & Airwaves – We Don’t Need To Whisper – Review

June 30, 2006

Sleepwalking through riffs and Postal Service electronics, these ten do little more than favor Delonge’s yowl, as the rest of the band stay out of the way.

Kung Fu Hustle – Review

June 28, 2006

The Mask as a karate movie, complete with faces that squash inwards and necks that twist like barber poles. Looney Tunes taken to its most chop-sockey extreme.

Mental Shrapnel: Before They Were Famous – Column

June 28, 2006

Lollipop has a long history of making fun of stupid people, stupid trends, over-hyped movies, TV shows, bands, and anything else we see.

Lagwagon – Resolve – Interview

June 27, 2006

An interview with vocalist Joey Cape

The Next Hundred Years – Review

June 23, 2006

Has that QOTSA “robot-rock” sound with heavy emphasis on repetition and plentiful starts and stops, but NHY have a much better singer than Josh Homme.

The Cuts – From Here On Out – Review

June 23, 2006

While I enjoyed the woodsy American rock feel of 2 Over Ten, I was hoping for a different direction on the follow-up, and I was definitely not disappointed.
