None More Black – This Is Satire – Review

October 20, 2006

Fat Wreck is the Enola Gay. Your stereo is Hiroshima. None More Black is “Little Boy.” Put them together and you’re a fucking shadow on the ground.

NOFX – Wolves In Wolves’ Clothing – Review

October 20, 2006

You’re 25% less likely to get punched in the face by a dude in khaki shorts at their shows, and 80% more likely to think while listening to their lyrics.

Against Me! – Live in London!!! – Review

October 13, 2006

It doesn’t engulf you in 100+ degree body heat, hand you a beer, or put an arm around you. You can’t fit that in your car, so this is a good road trip record.

The Lawrence Arms – Oh! Calcutta! – Review

September 8, 2006

There are a handfulla choruses, like “Jumping the Shark,” that roll like Social D mixed with Randy in powerpop mode, the stuff that’d make a great TV theme.

NOFX – Never Trust A Hippy – Review

September 8, 2006

NOFX spouts edgy politics and social commentary, from juvenile “fuck you” to clever turns of phrase both insightful and inciteful, and have for years.

The Loved Ones – Keep Your Heart – Review

September 1, 2006

East Coast punk rock, pure of spirit like Bouncing Souls, but with more consistent songs. A little gruff, but not all gargled glass or hard-living street punk.

Dead To Me – Cuban Ballerina – Review

August 11, 2006

Similar to Loved Ones and Lawrence Arms, Dead To Me take rawer punk’s ferocious attack and temper it with melodic turns a la Descendents, Misfits, Fifteen, etc.

Good Riddance – My Republic – Review

July 28, 2006

Perhaps the band’s most melodic release, forgoing much of their past attack-based hardcore in exchange for sweet hooks. Catchy, driving, motivational tunes.
