NOFX – 45 or 46 Songs that Weren’t Good Enough to Go on Our Other Records – Review

November 8, 2002

The title sez it all. If you don’t know what NOFX sounds like, uh, where the fuck you been? That’s one of them whatchacall’ems, hypothermia questions…

Bracket – Live in a Dive – Review

October 28, 2002

Alt-country licks, jazzed-up three-part vocal harmonies, unconventional chord progressions, served on a platter of mid-tempo power pop.
