The Bloody Hollies – If Footman Tire You – Review

December 9, 2005

Shit-hot rocker-garage cum kick-ass mixed with dynamism collected from hot pennies handled by The Sonics, The Up, The Makers, and many other “The” bands.

Players Club – Coextinction – Review

December 9, 2005

Lower East Side scum rock/noise rock of the early ’90s jammed through a metalized frame and heart-tugging murder melodies. What hardnut rock oughta be.

The Old Haunts – Fallow Field – Review

Howling Diablos – Car Wash – Review
