The Soviettes – III – Review

January 27, 2006

It’s cute, funny, retro new wave that still has respect for itself and the audience. The vocalists each have a specialty, and jump in when their time comes.

Smoke Or Fire – Above The City – Review

January 20, 2006

Now residing in Richmond, VA, Smoke Or Fire are Bostonians by birth, but exhibit the spirit of Chicago with their political brand of melodic punk.

The Loved Ones – Keep Your Heart – Review

January 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.

The Sainte Catherines – Dancing For Decadence – Review

January 1, 2006

They’re from Montreal, this is their Fat debut. They’re scruffy and dirty, but they’re Greenpeace punk, not ignorant anti-whatever or wall-punching punk.

Love Equals Death – Nightmeric – Review

January 1, 2006

Part dark punk, part rock, there are Pennywise melodies and tuff group shouts, there’s clean, Bill Stevenson production, and that creepy girl on the cover.

Chixdiggit! – Pink Razors – Review

November 11, 2005

That same pop punk sound with the same three chords. It’s mindless to listen to, fun to dance around to, and although it’s super cheesy, I love it.

Snuff – Six of One Half a Dozen of the Other – Review

November 4, 2005

A blend of Oi!, The Damned, Motown, and Two-Tone, Snuff wrote songs you could sing along to, dance along to, and mosh to. Infectious, never-endingly energetic.

Lagwagon – Live in a Dive – Review

June 13, 2005

For over a decade now, Lagwagon have penned the soundtracks of our lives. And having seen the band countless times, not much comes close to a Lagwagon show.

The Epoxies – Stop The Future – Review

June 8, 2005

Not trendy indie new wave-obsessed garbage, but The Epoxies kinda set themselves up for the comparison with their fashion sense and slathered keyboards.
