Battleship – Hearts Addendum – Review

September 1, 2006

Battleship is from Oakland, have skronky sax, waggling bass, clattering drums, and a distorted yowler who surely throws tantrums on the stage.

The Loved Ones – Keep Your Heart – Review

September 1, 2006

East Coast punk rock, pure of spirit like Bouncing Souls, but with more consistent songs. A little gruff, but not all gargled glass or hard-living street punk.

Empty Seat – High Heels on Fire – Review

September 1, 2006

Opening band powerpop/punk/bar rock with a belt-out Gwen Stefani-influenced singer and few memorable moments and a lot of filler on a 14-song sophomore effort.

Ellegarden – Riot On The Grill – Review

September 1, 2006

I was expecting chaos rock, but this is clean-sung, layered harmonied pop, perhaps the Japanese version of over-caffeinated New Found Glory or something.

Dead City Shakers – Ship Of Beggars – Review

September 1, 2006

This slab of chaos has pro production. Part rockabilly, part punk, part blackout rock, this sucker’ll get yer ass in trouble.

Yellowcard – Lights and Sounds – Review

August 25, 2006

The guitars are “harder” this time out. Gone are the violin bits that, uh, kinda separated Yellowcard from every other chipper boy band.

Darlington – Sex – Review

August 18, 2006

Like mid-’90s Screeching Weasel and The Queers, the bubblegum punk is irresistible, naively sweet and perfect.

Dead To Me – Cuban Ballerina – Review

August 11, 2006

Similar to Loved Ones and Lawrence Arms, Dead To Me take rawer punk’s ferocious attack and temper it with melodic turns a la Descendents, Misfits, Fifteen, etc.

Nearmiss – Testing the Limits of What They’ll Put Up With – Review

August 11, 2006

From Bigwig style tech melodicore (the band features ex-Bigwig alumni), Quicksand post-hardcore grooves, to Taking Back Sunday emolicious harmonies.

Good Riddance – My Republic – Review

July 28, 2006

Perhaps the band’s most melodic release, forgoing much of their past attack-based hardcore in exchange for sweet hooks. Catchy, driving, motivational tunes.
