SSM – Review

October 6, 2006

Garage rock to compare to the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs herk’n’jerk, or The Epoxies zany new wave via weirdo punk. Fuzzed-out keyboard smog populates mid-tempo grooves.

The Peasants – Love Your Enemy – Review

September 29, 2006

Part noisy college rock (when “alternative rock” was still ROCK), part punky rock, gonzo solos, and “I need a goddamn job!” hollers over Sex Pistols swagger.

Park – Building A Better _______ – Review

September 29, 2006

They simplified everything. Stripping away the layers makes for a very straightforward CD, but one that still has a lot of catchy hooks and melodies.

A Change of Pace – Prepare The Masses – Review

September 22, 2006

Ditching the screaming and intense styles of their debut, going more melodic pop punk. Some of the songs are catchy and radio-friendly, about half are good.

Less Than Jake – In With The Out Crowd – Review

September 22, 2006

“These guys are still around?” Hey, you can say it, we’re all thinking it. Surprisingly yes, and more surprisingly, Less Than Jake is still good.

Andrew W.K. – Who Knows? – Review

September 9, 2006

This is this man’s deepest and most sincere expression of himself. It just so happens that he’s also able to write arena rock songs that cannot be refused.

The Lawrence Arms – Oh! Calcutta! – Review

September 8, 2006

There are a handfulla choruses, like “Jumping the Shark,” that roll like Social D mixed with Randy in powerpop mode, the stuff that’d make a great TV theme.

NOFX – Never Trust A Hippy – Review

September 8, 2006

NOFX spouts edgy politics and social commentary, from juvenile “fuck you” to clever turns of phrase both insightful and inciteful, and have for years.

The Falcon – Unicornography – Review

September 1, 2006

A fun supergroup, and their first full-length. Members of The Lawrence Arms, Alkaline Trio, and Rise Against: Chicago punk, in other words.

The Esperantos – Review

September 1, 2006

A garagey pop quality that feels naive, effortless, and pure. No boasting to being the saviors of rock, just a bunch of tunes you can nod your head to.
