Hi-Standard – Making the Road – Review

April 1, 2000

Tight fucking playing, thick’n’fuzzy guitars, and, of course, the catchy melodies that only Japanese bands can create (listen to anime soundtracks for proof).

NOFX – The Decline – Review

April 1, 2000

Brutal anti-everything commentary ripping away at human nature, the government, big business, slackerdom, God, injustice, violence, and avoidance/escapism.

Tilt – Viewers Like You – Review

January 1, 2000

Lead vocalist Cinder Block has one of the most powerful voices in punk, so don’t get any cutesy images of, like, No Doubt or Dance Hall Crashers.

No Use For A Name – More Betterness! – Interview

January 1, 2000

An interview with guitarist/vocalist Tony Sly

January 1, 2000

This new EP of unreleased songs from the Five Lessons Learned sessions sound a lot like their early singles, but is still worth the dough if you like the band.

Short Music for Short People – Review

101 bands each contributing a 30 second song. This is a who’s who of punk, from all over the world, spanning decades of punk in its many forms.

Fat Music Vol. 4: Life in the Fat Lane – Review

September 1, 1999

45 minutes of pure Fatness. Unreleased tracks, Fat standards, and a new signee make this one that the kids’re gonna clamor for.

Good Riddance – Operation Phoenix – Review

September 1, 1999

Despite my admiration for their work ethic, persistence, endurance, and outspoken philosophy, I just can’t get into their every-suburban town style of punk.
