The Unseen – Complete Singles Collection – Review

June 20, 2003

The songs on this collection can stand proudly with any of their newer material. Dirty, fast, loud, opinionated punk rock.

Daycare Swindlers – Heathen Radio – Review

May 30, 2003

They have an excellent rhythm section, with super-fast beats, and are really tight. The guitarist kicks ass, and the singer keeps up with the hectic pace.

Without Warning, It’s Punch Drunk IV – Review

April 18, 2003

TKO said fuck it and threw a bunch of bands of totally different styles, attitudes, politics, and toughness against the proverbial wall to see what sticks.

The Bad Vibes – Hate Your Everything – Review

February 14, 2003

Power chords, relentless drum pounding, the bass mixed way loud, and nearly unintelligible screaming lyrics are just what I like.

In.Dk – Kill Whitey! – Review

January 31, 2003

Bands like these are so fucking lame. It’s well-produced and the riffs are good, too bad it’s all wasted on lame lyrics about totally pathetic politics.

GBH – Ha Ha – Review

January 17, 2003

GBH, although obviously better musicians and with better production, still keep true to what they have always done, bad ass hardcore/punk.

Rancid Vat – The Cheesesteak Years – Review

January 17, 2003

An excellent sampling of their best live and studio tunes recorded in Philly, a period where they went more for a punk rock style than their Oregon noise days.

AntiSeen – Drastic – E.P. Royalty – Review

January 10, 2003

Contains the first two AntiSeen EPs, Drastic (’85) and E.P. Royalty (’86). Two ultra-rare early records are now readily available: Can’t go wrong buying this.

ADZ – American Steel – Review

January 3, 2003

Some pop-punk influence, but thankfully beefed up in every facet to take it out of that genre. The lyrics are funny and poignant and not sung like a sissy.

The Tunnel Rats – Run For Your Life – Review

July 1, 1995

The Tunnel Rats turn out hate punk at its finest. Fucking sheep, getting loaded, tipping cows, and kicking hippie ass all along the drug-crazed Gonzo trail.
