Give ‘Em the Boot – III – Review

August 2, 2002

More interesting than the average label sampler; but once you get to the third mediocre side project, it starts to feel like an inside joke.

Agnostic Front – Dead Yuppies – Review

February 8, 2002

The music hasn’t really changed that much: Fast, pissed off hardcore by tough guys who aren’t interested in trying anything fancy.

The Worldwide Tribute to the Real Oi – Review

June 4, 2001

Here are 13 bands spewing out the old faves (along with one of the originals, The Business, doing the Iron Cross classic, “Crucified”).

Disarming Violence – Review

June 4, 2001

25 songs totaling more than an hour, all punk rock, all to benefit PAX, an anti-gun violence (not anti-gun) organization, what’s not to like?

Punk-O-Rama – 5 – Review

September 1, 2000

A lotta punk inspires me to smash jewel cases, not the state, so when I wanna relisten to/go-get-the-latest by some of these bands, that says a lot.

Agnostic Front – Riot Riot Upstart – Review

January 1, 2000

Agnostic Front have a damn fine album here that takes ’80s hardcore and updates it with ’90s issues.

Short Music for Short People – Review

September 1, 1999

101 bands each contributing a 30 second song. This is a who’s who of punk, from all over the world, spanning decades of punk in its many forms.

Punk-o-Rama 4 – Review

September 1, 1999

Only The Strong – Review

June 1, 1999

Metalcore set to fast punk beats, you know it’s Victory at work again. Some good stuff here, particularly by No Innocent Victim, Vision, and Agnostic Front.

Punk-O-Rama – 3 – Review

April 1, 1999

While there’re songs I like better then those chosen to represent the bands, that might just clue ya into the fact I own a fuckload of Epitaph’s records.
