Constants in Breaking – Dedspace – Split – Review

March 15, 2004

Dedspace does a lot of the same things that Constants does, but with a much softer edge. Absent are the screaming accompaniment and aggressive distortion, and in their stead are dark, passionate wails and squealing guitars

Young Sexy Assassins – May Day in the Garden of Memories – Review

March 15, 2004

Noisy rock that’s dissonant and sporadic, treading the grey areas between indie, hardcore, and art-rock. But this is by no means a bad thing, and there’s no question that the lads are very good at what they do.

Bright Calm Blue – A Direct Approach For Casual Conversation – Review

March 15, 2004

Bright Calm Blue offers up pretty standard math-flavored indie-rock, which is to say it’s aggressive yet melodious, interesting yet formulaic.

Tyondai Braxton – Rise, Rise, Rise – Review

March 15, 2004

Tyondai Braxton has obviously escaped from the same refugee camp (as Parts & Labor), as evidenced by “Stand There,” the best song Parts & Labor never wrote and probably the highlight of the whole disc.

Tunnel of Love – Rock ‘N Roll Bitches – Review

March 15, 2004

They don’t play their instruments, they beat on them. The vocals are just different degrees of screaming. There are no solos, just a three-piece drum set and distorted, open chords.

Pestilence – Consuming Impulse – Testimony of the Ancients – Review

March 15, 2004

As part of the early-’90s jazz/death movement, Pestilence left behind four albums of pure progressive mindfuck that easily shames anything “technical” today.

Pensive – Something About the Stars – Review

March 15, 2004

There is something inherently stirring about that Billie Joe (of Green Day) virile slacker-collegiate sound certain singer boys seem to have, and Pensive has it.

Parts & Labor – Tyondai Braxton – Rise, Rise, Rise – Review

March 15, 2004

A Brooklyn three-piece. Most other reviewers have compared them to other art-rock bands, but those sorts of comparisons imply that they’re some sort of rip-off, which is patently false.

Nova Express – Gimme Some – Review

March 15, 2004

Four piece snarl/blaze classicist swagger rock. Real good singer, decent to damn fine tunes, and a clean, full recording.

Rob Falgiano – Things I Used to Know – Review

March 15, 2004

Rob knows how to write good pop with a touch of rockin’ country twang. He does it with energy and a smile, and throws in some gentle slow jazz sounds and even a little funk for good measure.
