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.

The Generators – Life Gives Life Takes – Review

May 30, 2014

Classic old school punk with a strong Bad Religion vibe. Considering The Generators have a 15+ year history, it’s no surprise that they create perfectly formed, impeccably molded songs like the ones on Life Gives, Life Takes, their 10th album.

Veara – Growing Up Is Killing Me – Review

April 1, 2014

Like loads of good-but-indistinguishable pop punk bands of the late ’90s, they have heart and skills, but haven’t found their unique voice by their 2nd album.

The Marmozets – Review

January 9, 2014

This clunkily-named band has angsty roar, belted-out melodies, and some tenderness, slathered atop powerpop riffery and stick-twirling drumming.
