Body Count – Live in L.A. – Review

October 27, 2006

The usual solid mix of BC-centric anthems, creepy ruminations on love, and some “timely” thoughts on religion and “dirty bombs,” with few surprises.

Complete Control – Krum Bums – Death Can Wait – Review

October 27, 2006

Well-played and aggressive as shit punk with the intensity of ’80s hardcore and something that’s distinctively their own. Only three songs apiece here.

Blind Guardian – A Twist In The Myth – Review

October 27, 2006

None More Black – This Is Satire – Review

October 20, 2006

Fat Wreck is the Enola Gay. Your stereo is Hiroshima. None More Black is “Little Boy.” Put them together and you’re a fucking shadow on the ground.

The Voodoo Jets – Supersonic – Review

October 20, 2006

Big, bright, lushly-produced car songs whose mood swings will cover your roadtrip from misty sunrise, through burning mid-day, to somber dusk.
