The Crumbs – Last Exit – Review

April 12, 2004

The energetic ’60s freakouts are inspired by The Fugs and Them. It may take a few listens to learn this is more than decent party music.

Firewater – Songs We Should Have Written – Review

April 12, 2004

Fat Ass – We Have Come for your Mothers – Review

April 12, 2004

With all the testosterone of Motörhead, Fat Ass explores that road between muscle car metal and thrash. Sleazy Stooge romps like “Rub One Out” and “Lonesome” cohabitate with the humor of Suicidal Tendencies.

Envy – A Dead Sinking Story – Review

April 12, 2004

Deadwater Drowning – Review

April 5, 2004

New Hampshire’s Deadwater Drowning doesn’t hold back on this five-song EP. It’s straight to business, and I like it. A technical death metal edge, hardcore drive, and grindcore intensity.

April 5, 2004

Vibrant, emotional, and always forging forward with their blend of hardcore, metal, and rock, Zao positioned themselves as leaders, not followers.
