Dawn of Man – In The Bronze Age – Review

January 1, 2007

Expecting a Revelation hardcore band, this dancey indie rock took getting used to. Just four songs, got a thing for new wave high hat and muddy guitar sounds.

Conquest of Steel – May Your Blade Never Dull – Review

January 1, 2007

Five song EP of warrior metal. Skimpy production, and genre clichés makes this a pocket knife, not a broadsword.

Coldworker – The Contaminated Void – Review

January 1, 2007

14 tracks of razor-sharp Swedish death. Debut release, but veteran member in Nasum’s Anders Jakobson.

Clouds – Legendary Demo – Review

January 1, 2007

Clouds is Cave In guitarist Adam McGrath and pals (in bands big and small, good and bad), and it’s noisy rock.

Classic Case – Losing At Life – Review

January 1, 2007

Odd mix of groove metal and delicate, sensitive guy vocals that 16 year old girls will like, but not ballsy enough to win over any U2, Coldplay, or Muse fans.

Cheeseburger – Review

January 1, 2007

Singer sometimes sounds like Danzig in rock mode, like a few of those mid-’90s rock bands Sub Pop signed when we thought they were gonna be a rock label again.

Chapstik – Barnburner – Review

January 1, 2007

A five-piece from Detroit, they play dirty, noisy, angry rock. Bio sez “as sleazy and contagious as a truckstop hooker.”
