Electric Frankenstein – Burn Bright, Burn Fast – Review

October 28, 2005

Part AC/DC, Motörhead, Dead Boys, along with scads of ass on fire “we’re rockin’ out now, ain’t we!” bands from Saxon to Girlschool to Kraut to Riot.

Electric Frankenstein – Super Kool – Review

May 30, 2005

Covers of a heavy Sex Pistols tune (“Satellite”), and Black Sabbath’s rock ‘n’ roll side “Never Say Die.” Hard rock kickass derived from punkoid gettin’ it on.

Electric Frankenstein – Burn Bright, Burn Fast – Review

May 26, 2005

No frills rock’n’roll, the closest thing you’ll get to AC/DC. 13 full-lengths, 13 EPs, and 13 split singles in a 13 year history. Or close enough.

Rebirth of the Heavy – Review

January 3, 2003

All straight up, no bullshit, from destructo rock to apeshit hardcore to stoner rock to kickass doom and back. The comp flows well as a piece.

How We Rock – Review

January 3, 2003

This comp nails it. Unlike Now That’s What I Call Shitty Music: Volume Four Billion, How We Rock compiles 19 hotshots and whatnots both trendy and “classic.”

Electric Frankenstein – Camden Underworld, London: 17 December 2000 – Review

January 3, 2003

The shots of the frantic headbanging and slamming, and the occasional crowd shots from behind the drummer beautifully capture the club atmosphere.

Victory Style – 5 – Review

November 11, 2002

In between old-timers dropping by, Victory Style 5 is the label introducing their new signees. For your “cover every subgenre” needs, look no further.
