Metallimania – Review

June 13, 2005

Metallimania is probably worth viewing once, especially if you liked Heavy Metal Parking Lot, but definitely make sure you have the remote handy.

End of the Century – The Story of the Ramones – Review

June 13, 2005

Unless you’re a Ramones know-it-all, you’ll leave knowing more about the band. Even if you already know all this, End of the Century will still entertain you.

Dig! – Review

June 13, 2005

BJTM embody the down and dirty rock and roll lifestyle, living in a filthy hovel of a band house, while the Dandy Warhols tour Europe and play huge festivals.

Danko Jones – We Sweat Blood – Review

June 13, 2005

Just simple grooves and riffs attacked like hunks of meat waved in front of feral animals. And Danko Jones is pretty upfront about his interest in fucking.

Cracktorch – Tonight the City – Review

June 13, 2005

Based on the name, I was expecting a dense, noisy, aggressively inaccessible cataclysm. Instead what I got is a pleasantly accessible attempt at radio rock.

Bottom – You’rNext – Review

June 13, 2005

The three women of Bottom shaped a recognizable riff-rock sound. You’rNext is a barren, nearly tuneless landscape uneasily pulsing with long bouts of feedback.

Axehandle – Review

June 13, 2005

All three members of Axehandle are also in Alabama Thunderpussy, but Axehandle doesn’t really sound anything like ATP.

Sons Of Otis – X – Review

May 30, 2005

Kinda like AC/DC albums: If you’ve heard one, you’ve heard ’em all. Content to create the sickest, most punishing heavy psychedelic rock ever created.

Solace – Greatdayforup – Review

May 16, 2005

Solace are one of the best rock bands in the land, but due to almost comically bad luck, they’ve yet to reach the heights of which they’re capable.

Greatdayforup – Solace – Review

May 16, 2005

Greatdayforup writes snappy and memorable songs, surprisingly so for a heavy rock band, and stomps the fuck out of them with a brutally heavy non-metal attack.
