May 1, 2009

Four records deep, two on Sub Pop (during a brief moment when they released real rock records again), but like D-Generation, they simply don’t blow me away.

Millencolin – Machine 15 – Review

May 1, 2009

They craft good songs, many of which sound dated, some of which transcend style and can simply be heard as well-written songs. Timeless, catchy, and meaningful.

Afro Samurai – Review

May 1, 2009
