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.

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.

Sadus – Out For Blood – Review

June 30, 2006

Still around after 20+ years. Despite having never been a major player in the thrash/death scene, the band have persevered without losing an ounce of potency.

The Frauds – Review

June 1, 2006

Garage rock from Baltimore. Something familiar about a lot of the songs. They’ve opened up for The Sounds and Jet, and that makes sense.
