Liquid Mercury – Beat Box Explosion – Review

November 29, 2004

Their sound drips with old school analog and the occasional cat-scratching record. It raises your temperature incrementally, like a locomotive building speed.

Kylesa – No Ending/A 110 Degree Heat Index EP – Review

November 29, 2004

Follows a strong stream of powerful, twisting, visceral, punk ID’d metal chomping punk; covers a Nausea song, and throws a Pushead cover as signifier.

Morgion – Cloaked by Ages, Crowned in Earth – Review

November 29, 2004

Near-infinite doom, My Dying Bride ground up by sort of gravelly Entombed tones, death vocals, and Neurosis chill-outs added, just to make you extra sad.

Hieronymus Bosch – Havin’ Fun, Soundin’ Good – Review

November 29, 2004

Surf-based band with nods to classic garage rock (un-ruined by duh punks or pop scammery) fuzz chime with kinda geeky vocals.

The Haunted – rEVOLVEr – Interview

November 29, 2004

An Interview with vocalist Peter Dolving

The Sleazies – Trite Ditties And Meaningless Crap – Review

November 22, 2004

Subjects exhibit immature snickering and irreverent guffawing as fast-acting goof punk is administered intravenously.

The Judas Cradle – Too Bad They’re All Dead – Review

November 22, 2004

The insane heavy-set grooves of Darkest Hour, the fiercely potent riffs a la Cannae, and the emotional substance of Remembering Never.

The Hellacopters – By The Grace Of God – Review

November 22, 2004

They harness the spirit and beauty of classic rock and write songs able to hold their own alongside the greats without sounding like Sha-Na-Na nostalgia.

The Dillinger Escape Plan – Miss Machine – Review

November 22, 2004

Anthemic choruses, clean vocals & guitars, distorted NIN vocals, trancy bits, oblique lyrics, relaxed singing, and just the right amount of sandblasting.

Some Action – Review

November 22, 2004

Five tunes of enervated garagist hum, circa now. I like it. The singer has the snot action “baby you don’t own me” thing nailed down.
