Coroner’s Corner: The Hills Have Eyes Unrated – Column

August 25, 2006

My first reaction was “why?” but my final reaction is “oh my!” I’m speaking of the Alexandre Aja remake of the 1977 Wes Craven classic, The Hills Have Eyes.

Artimus Pyledriver – Review

August 25, 2006

Man, does this album roar. Think of Speedealer or Nashville Pussy or COC crossed with Entombed or Cathedral (work with me), and you’re on your way to deaf.

Yellowcard – Lights and Sounds – Review

August 25, 2006

The guitars are “harder” this time out. Gone are the violin bits that, uh, kinda separated Yellowcard from every other chipper boy band.

Voivod – Katorz – Review

August 25, 2006

Katorz is jumpy, nervy, punchy, and organic, like an early Voivod album, the guys finding a punk rock ethic that inspires to action.

Overloaded – Hail the Kingdom – Review

August 25, 2006

Fuck ironic love of ’80s metal, just admit it, this stuff is a lot of fun. Those people looking at you funny at the stop light need to lighten up.

Goldfrapp – Supernature – Review

August 25, 2006

Goldfrapp were able to create a luscious universe without resorting to cheap 4/4 disco beats, but on Supernature, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything but.

Overloaded – Hellfire EP – Review

August 25, 2006

From Detroit, where they don’t take kindly to emoting sissy rock, these boys pound like WASP, howl like Halford, and “Shotgun City” beats “Jamie’s Got a Gun.”

Full Minute of Mercury – Alive Again – Review

August 25, 2006

Part Missing Persons, part Iron Maiden, what’s not to love? Often doubled, deliciously sweet female vocals, over wildly cheesy keyboards and glam guitarwork.

Lamb of God – Sacrament – Interview

August 25, 2006

An interview with guitarist Mark Morton

Darlington – Sex – Review

August 18, 2006

Like mid-’90s Screeching Weasel and The Queers, the bubblegum punk is irresistible, naively sweet and perfect.
