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

Swingin’ Utters – Dead Flowers, Bottles, Bluegrass – Review

Rise Against – Revolutions Per Minute – Review

July 23, 2003

July 23, 2003

The line “candy and decay” from “My Addiction” defines the good-time punk of Panty Raid! Though fierce, they remain feminine without resorting to cutesy.

Avail – Front Porch Stories – Review

June 20, 2003

There’s a certain something in this sixth full-length. Call it a maturation of their deep fried Southern country punk rawk or more singalongs than usual…

Sick Of It All – Live in a Dive – Review

January 10, 2003

Live in a Dive has the band tear through songs from each of their records, sounding as blood-boilingly exciting as the first hardcore show you ever went to.
