Brian Posehn – Live in: Nerd Rage – Review

September 26, 2006

The mainstream might know him as “that awkward guy on Mr. Show and Just Shoot Me,” comedy buffs and metalheads know Brian Posehn as the thrash-addicted giant.

Bullets and Octane – In The Mouth of The Young – Review

September 22, 2006

A neo-glam band who sport eyeliner and tattoos, use the word punk to mean fast, and you’ll dig it, but always be a little suspicious of how honest it is.

Adam Rich – You Can’t Escape Life – Review

September 22, 2006

Adam Rich isn’t a guitar whiz, but he can sing with the guitar about as well as he can with his voice, which ain’t bad. The best tune is the dusty “Vulture.”

The Shocker – Up Your Ass Tray – Review

September 22, 2006

Jennifer Finch from L7’s new group. It’s a blast of punk and new wave flavored rock with gritty vocals and ridiculous, over the top lyrics.

A Change of Pace – Prepare The Masses – Review

September 22, 2006

Ditching the screaming and intense styles of their debut, going more melodic pop punk. Some of the songs are catchy and radio-friendly, about half are good.

Thrice – Vheissu – Interview

September 22, 2006

An interview with drummer Riley Breckenridge

Genghis Tron – Dead Mountain Mouth – Review

September 22, 2006

A substantial portion of the electronic beats has been replaced by more grind, and a touch of electrified doom. The guitars sound more assured and comfortable.

September 22, 2006

Early ’80s-ish rock nestling itself between The Cranberries and Joan Jett, slightly burned-out chick-fronted grind with less hope in their lyrics than heart.

Less Than Jake – In With The Out Crowd – Review

September 22, 2006

“These guys are still around?” Hey, you can say it, we’re all thinking it. Surprisingly yes, and more surprisingly, Less Than Jake is still good.

Dog Fashion Disco – Adultery – Review

September 22, 2006

DFD dances naked in the back of your mind while jackhammering your defenses with coy melodies, Mike Patton theatrics, jazz sax, and death metal fist-fucking.
