Give ‘Em The Boot – V – Review

December 15, 2006

A good round-up of Hellcat bands ranging from psychobilly to ska and all manner of punk. No real surprises, and no real highlights, just like the last time.

Squarewell – Review

December 15, 2006

Imitation can be flattery, but not when it’s executed like kindergardeners. Unoriginal as hell, they’ve somehow turned the DC-style vocals into annoying yelps.

With drug-addled Pete Doherty removed, Libertines’ clever guitarist turned frontman Carl Barat and drummer Gary Powell form a thrilling, stable compound.

Chthonic – Seediq Bale – Review

December 8, 2006

Chthonic’s use of Chinese, aboriginal Taiwanese tongue, English, and the traditional Asian instrument of er-hu is their unique spin on black metal.
