June 22, 2007

The Ratchet and Clank series is fast becoming the Megaman for the 21st century, for better or worse.

The Fest 3 – Review

June 22, 2007

One weekend a year, punk/indie/hardcore bands descend upon Gainesville, FL and turn the place into one giant party. Fuck CMJ & SXSW, this is how it ‘s done.

Oasis – Morning Glory – A Classic Album Under Review – Review

June 22, 2007

A buncha people (all Brits) familiar with the band talk about why they think Morning Glory is their best. I’m not arguing, it’s the only one I’ve kept.

An interview with guitarist John 5

Kekal – The Habit of Fire – Review

June 1, 2007

From Indonesia, are experimental, conceptual, extreme, ambient, haunting, jazz-fusion prog, and other “the mainstream will never get this” descriptions.

The Toy Dolls – Treasured Tracks – Review

June 1, 2007

A live album. They smoke like The Vandals, and the singer has a Cockney accent that makes Johnny Rotten sound like an American suburban puke.

Slapdash – Reciprocal – Review

June 1, 2007

Method of Destruction – Red White and Screwed – Review

June 1, 2007

M.O.D. without the humor is as monotone/hardcore as Pro-Pain, which is to say boring and unbearable. Billy Milano sounds like he needs to shit.

Mind Flux Funeral – Teatro De Revalacion – Review

June 1, 2007

Dark, violent, sensual, chilling: Everything a good aggro/rock/industrial/metal album should be. From Chicago, where this stuff was born, lives, and breathes.
