Subhumans – Live In A Dive – Review

June 21, 2004

UK Subhumans (now mostly members of Citizen Fish) have reformed on occasion to play live. The recording is pretty decent, and covers the range of their career.

Against Me! – As the Eternal Cowboy – Interview

March 1, 2004

An Interview with vocalist/guitarist Tom Gabel

Sick of It All – Life on the Ropes – Review

March 1, 2004

Almost 20 years running, Sick Of It All deliver every time. Life on the Ropes is no different, except maybe that it pushes the band’s darker material to the forefront.

The Lawrence Arms – The Greatest Story Ever Told – Review

February 9, 2004

Way too many mediocre punk-rock/screamo songs, which would best be used as background music at one of those really hip parties that you’re not invited to.

The Real McKenzies – Oot & Aboot – Review

November 5, 2003

I was looking forward to this, as I’m as Scottish as Irish. Sadly, it comes across as the Fabulous Thunderbirds of Celtic punk.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes – Take A Break – Review

November 5, 2003

Me First And The Gimmick Gimmicks don’t seem to know when a good joke has lost its humor.

NOFX – The War on Errorism – Review

October 22, 2003

NOFX are now politically-minded and ripshit amazing at their instruments. Deal with your preconceptions.

Liberation – Songs To Benefit PETA – Review

October 15, 2003

Hopefully, projects like Liberation will do damage control for all PETA’s frivolous lawsuits that mar the organization like spray paint on a mink stole.

Strung Out – Live in a Dive – Review

October 8, 2003

By far the most metal-sounding punk band on Fat (a cover of “Bark at the Moon!?”), Strung Out shred like Sodom on a Propagandhi high.

Good Riddance – Bound By Ties of Blood and Affection – Review

October 1, 2003

It’s muscular, it’s pissed off at Middle America, it’s melodic like old school 7 Seconds and Agent Orange, it’s full-bodied, it’s fucking pure hardcore.
