Dali’s Llama – Chorata – Review

July 27, 2007

Chugging, tense rock with a non-denominational punk ethic curling under hardened boogie cum cock rock guitars/rhythms from a gritty-eyed libertarian position.

Björk – Volta – Review

July 27, 2007

Björk claimed it to be: Fun, a throwback to ’80s house/techno, and catchy. Volta really is the opposite of all those things. Björk’s worst record so far.

The Queers – Munki Brain – Review

July 22, 2007

If Ramones were the Beach Boys of punk, The Queers are the Jan & Dean. The softer, younger brother of surf punk. They’ve got shobby-doo-wops, for God’s sake.

Cover Your Tracks – Review

July 20, 2007

New Deep Elm artists covering old Deep Elm classics… ooooooh boy, this is gonna get ugly. Cold, hard proof that the glorious ’90s are long, long gone.

Sonata Arctica – Unia – Review

July 20, 2007

Megadeth – United Abominations – Review

July 20, 2007
