Turbonegro – Scandinavian Leather – Review

July 13, 2003

An unabashed attempt to make Apocalypse Dudes II. There are 13 songs, and not a stinker in the bunch. So why does this feel like a letdown?

Turbonegro – Ass Cobra – Review

July 13, 2003

Songs titles like “The Midnight NAMBLA,” “I Got Erection,” and “Denim Demon” may set off joke-band alarms, but it’s obvious the band is serious about its music.

Turbonegro – Apocalypse Dudes – Review

July 13, 2003

Every one of these 13 tracks is a winner. There’s nothing bad to be said about this album. The only bad thing to be said is about you if you don’t own it.

Raised Fist – Dedication – Review

July 2, 2003

Dedication is a walloping dose of hardcore heaviness, much tighter and in sync than any of the band’s previous releases.

Bombshell Rocks – From Here and On – Review

June 20, 2003

Bombshell Rocks shed the Rancid-clone pigeonhole (but keep the great-sounding bass), and explore both Bad Religion-style Calipunk and their Swedish rock roots.

Punk-O-Rama – The Videos Volume 1 – Review

April 18, 2003

Videos (often a few) from Rancid, Refused, Bad Religion, NOFX, Offspring, Pennywise, Millencolin, Bouncing Souls, T(I)NC, Hot Water Music, Descendents, Dropkick Murphys, Guttermouth, Division of Laura Lee, and Death By Stereo.

Beatsteaks – Living Targets – Review

January 31, 2003

This Berlin-based band will never hit it big with the trendies, but anyone into the dark rockin’ of the Dwarves is sure to find things here to punch mirrors to.

Guttermouth – Gusto – Review

January 10, 2003

Guttermouth kick in yet another testament to peppy, acidic-humored punk rock filled with head-bobbing fun and snarlingly funny lyrics.

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.”

Ikara Colt – Chat and Business – Review

January 3, 2003

Think of The Pixies’ frantic stuff, but without Joey Santiago’s surf guitar or Black Francis’ over-the-top lyrics and delivery.
