The Giraffes – Review May 26, 2005 From their name, I always kind of assumed they were some faggy indie art twat band, but they actually rock pretty goddamn hard.
The End of the World – Review May 26, 2005 Brooklyn, NY: A hotbed for overrated bands This The indie rock band is perfectly listenable, but I can’t remember a melody or a single lyric.
Rosemary’s Babies – Talking To The Dead – Review May 26, 2005 This was (Danzig, Samhain) Eerie Von’s first band in NJ. He’s making a comeback, I guess, and good for him. People need to hear this kinda punk.
Some Girls – DNA Will Have It’s Say – Review May 26, 2005 Members of The Locust, Give Up The Ghost, Unbroken, and The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower. Seven-song EP, but it might as well be one song with seven titles.
Opiate For The Masses – The Spore – Review May 26, 2005 Seem to really like Tool, System of A Down, and, uh, kinda dumbed-down “industrial” metal band like Orgy, Mindless Self Indulgence, Static-X.
On A Pale Horse – Review May 26, 2005 Powerful vocals lead this stoner/hard rock band from Iowa (home of Slipknot, and one of the guys was evidently in the band at one point).
Novakill – Kill Everyone – Review May 26, 2005 Australian EBM. Hard, dark, littered with samples, distorted vocals, and an occassional hard-charger. That’s where they’re at their best.
No Address – Time Doesn’t Notice – Review May 26, 2005 Singer Ben Lauren is a published poet. No Address is his radio-friendly band.
Mistress – In Digust We Trust – Review May 26, 2005 “We like early Napalm Death, but have better production.”
Metalium – Demons of Insanity – Chapter Five – Review May 26, 2005 The record is called Demons of Insanity, and the cover is the Conan shit I used to draw in high school. In the ’80s. Yeah, it’s heavy metal.
