The problem is, I think he’s serious… Indiana-born Zookeyne (Zoo, for short) likes Fishbone, rap, and metal, and this is what happens if no one stops you.
Six-song EP from a dude in Varnaline and Space Needle. Six fuzzed-up, spaced-out tracks that were recorded at the same time as 2004’s Tell It to the Dust.
Split by two well-respected bands. Against All Authority has been around since the early ’90s, and unity punk and ska never did much for me, and it ages badly.
Drummer is Brant Bjork of Kyuss, Fu Manchu, and more. Singer/bassist has done work with Earthling?, Mondo Generator, Mark Lanegan, Twilight Singers, and QOTSA.
With Honor and The Distance are both completely passable hardcore, with previous releases on Bridge Nine and Stillborn, who steadily release passable hardcore.
Hard rock from New Orleans, produced by Pepper from COC, who knows about such things. Respected band, but this sounds like a demo from a hard rock/metal band.
Toy Dolls meets Dropkicks. Think Vandals, or Rev Horton Heat in a punk mood, tearing up the leads and fills, matched by gruff street vocals and group shouts.
Once championed in the hardcore/noisecore music scene as an innovative band with intense shows, it seems success, fame, and melody has gotten the best of them.
