Bracket – Novelty Forever – Review

December 1, 1997

Catchy, quirky, guitar-driven powerpop with moody, thoughtful lyrics and melodies to make your eyebrows arch.

Before You Were Punk – Review

June 1, 1997

Before You Were Punk coulda been another collection of the same hotshot punk bands covering silly songs from a decade many wish we could deny we were a part of.

Bracket – “E” Is For Everything On Fat Wreck Chords – Review

February 1, 1997

A little catch-me-up for those who don’t get 7″s. As always, Bracket combine rampaging pop punk, clever power pop anthems, and goofy ditties.

Happy Meals – Review

September 1, 1996

Household names include Lagwagon, Jughead’s Revenge, and Bracket. Great upcoming bands like Hi-Standards, Nerf Herder, Armchair Martian, and Ridel High.

Bracket – 4-Wheel Vibe – Review

June 1, 1995

The same bopping energy, clever choruses, and pick-shredding guitarwork of their earlier work, but the hooks are more integrated. Every song is great.

Bracket – Stinky Fingers – Review

February 1, 1995

These Cali-punkers cruise through three melodic, upbeat ditties. Bracket wails live, and put out some of the catchiest pop-punk out there.

Bracket – 924 Forestville St. – Review

November 1, 1994

Crunching, distorted guitars mow a smile across your face as you’re saturated with the infectious melodies. Boyhood influences of Cheap Trick are apparent.
