Civet – Massacre – Review

January 20, 2006

Aggressive, abrasive mediumcore punk loaded with tales of heartbreak and revenge, Massacre puts a new coat of blood on a familiar room.

The Duane Peters Gunfight – Review

June 8, 2005

I’m a fan of U.S. Bombs and Die Hunns, and I guess The Duane Peters Gunfight is a more rock side project from a legendary old tough guy punk.

The Hollow Points – The Black Spot – Review

March 16, 2005

From the streets of Seattle, punk rock produced by Duane Peters. Part peppy, part mid-tempo Social D, you can tell there are stories worth listening to here.

Civet – Massacre – Review

March 16, 2005

Four-piece girl punk band, sounds like early Distillers, before Brody started writing like rock like Hole. Young, hot, raw, and play trashy, honest stuff.

Old Skars And Upstarts 2004 – Review

March 7, 2005

This comp kicks ass. It’s rare I find a comp I can actually listen to the whole way through. This comp doesn’t have a single bad track.

Die Hunns- Long Legs – Review

December 1, 2004

15 songs (10 originals and five covers) running the gamut from hardcore to punk to quasi-surf to flat out ROCK. And it clocks in at about 40 minutes.

Union 13 – Symptoms of Humanity – Review

June 21, 2004

Union 13 proudly holds up their East L.A. punk roots, performing the majority of songs in English, but their songs in Spanish are just as good.

The Ruiners – How’s That Grab Ya? – Review

August 6, 2003

One part Cramps, one part Munsters/Groovie Ghoulies (the TV shows), one part smeared make-up Ronettes, one part other stuff from Detroit ’66.

The Sign Offs – Review

June 28, 2002

Every so often, a young’n’snotty band comes along that knows the roots of punk rock but doesn’t make a big deal about it. They just blow everyone off the stage.

Smogtown – Domesticviolenceland – Review

February 22, 2002

UK-influenced punk via Orange County so ya know they soaked up their share of early Cali-core along the way.
