These Utah rockers have sold millions and amassed a loyal following. They put a twist on their traditionally heavy sound with dub reggae on “Hands and Faces.”
“I feel violent all the time inside of me,” rages Joyce Manor on “Violent Inside.” It doesn’t get much more honest than these 90 seconds of pure emotion.
San Francisco’s Dead To Me display shades of the UK band Consumed on the hard-driving “Undertow.” That kind of burly, forceful punk is always OK in our book.
“And I know when you’re living under sheets of snow/ it can look like the world’s gone black/ but remember that the sun comes back/ At least they say it does.”
18 new songs to fingerfuck your eardrums, from harmonized rampage to doo-wop teenage thrills. Only Blag is getting a handjob under the counter at the malt shop.
A genre-jumpin’ band with horns and hop. It’s all for the good of the party music. Most is finger-snapping butt-wiggle so the girls can dance the night away.
The Zero Boys were a got-damn fantastic punk band from the second generation nation, after the mid/late ’70s shit hit the (few) fans and the dis-ease spread.
They craft good songs, many of which sound dated, some of which transcend style and can simply be heard as well-written songs. Timeless, catchy, and meaningful.
Straight-forward bar punk. Like street punk, but more bar room bad-ass rock’n’roll. Like the rockier bands on TKO or Disaster or punked-up Nashville Pussy.
