Prayer Group – Strawberry – Review

September 28, 2025

Noise rock antecedent Swans are a benchmark for unease, and also it reminds one of the more godless moments of Sonic Youth. The antithesis of easy listening.

Memory – Pfff – Review

August 10, 2025

The band plays heavy riffs mixed with changing and complex time signatures. It’s like their playlist is equal parts Dillinger Escape Plan and the Sex Pistols.

Civil Rats – Get Outta Here! – Review

June 28, 2025

Guitarist Molly trades vocals with bassist Dale, and if you close your eyes and lie to yourself a little, the band harmonizes like X.

Redd Kross – Redd Kross – Review

September 4, 2024

Guitars abound on this release, and some of does cross over into metal/hard rock territory, but the licks are so buttressed with sugar, you may not notice.

The Oxys – Generation Irrelevant – Review

January 31, 2024

There are a lot of raunchy guitars on Generation Irrelevant, lots of guitars, period. The record is busy, mixing riffs, solos, and sing-along choruses.

Shitty Life – Limits to Growth – Review

January 10, 2024

A lethal slice of old school hardcore/emo (think Minor Threat, the Exploder, Maximillian Colby), these Italians mean it.

Comeback Kid – Outsider – Review

September 1, 2017

Comeback Kid manages to outdo their previous work yet again.

Squarecrow – Rammi Jamms – Review

August 26, 2016

Squarecrow sounds focused and energized throughout Rammi Jamms, and they even throw in a snarled, skank-worthy take on The Smiths’ immortal “Bigmouth Strikes Again.”

The Hollowpoints – Rocket To Rainier – Review

October 30, 2015

The phrase “energetic blast” seems more fitting for a new Mountain Dew flavor than a record, but hey, it really fits here for The Hollowpoints.

Senses Fail – Senses Fail / Man Overboard split – Review

March 6, 2015

Senses Fail and Man Overboard team up for this four-song EP, featuring a new song from each band as well as each band covering one of the other’s choice cuts.
