Bring You to Your Knees – Review

October 4, 2004

Not one of these bands sounds remotely similar to G N’ R. Then again, who has since the day they swept themselves under their own rug of recklessness?

High Volume – Review

October 4, 2004

Almost all the songs are non-album and exclusive to this release, so hardcore fans will want to check things out. Most of the songs are pretty good, too.

September 20, 2004

In previous incarnations of this series, there’ve been a few stinkers that snuck past security, but Volume V is a pure winner.

Thingmaker – Review

September 20, 2004

NRA and New Bomb Turks lead the punk pack in visceral throwback punk. The Wildhearts power up a Cheap Trick/Bay City Rollers fusion.

Theft, Arson, Vice, Murder and Death – Review

May 23, 2004

Not really a label compilation since the majority of the 22 tracks are not by Traktor7 artists. I’ll assume it reflects the tastes and personalities of the folks behind the label. The most eclectic compilation I’ve ever heard.

Gimme Skelter – Review

May 23, 2004

January 28, 2004

January 28, 2004

The first installment of a series of mini-comps featuring four bands with two songs each. Boston is first, and comes through with a very strong effort.
