The Bouncing Souls – Anti-Flag – Split Series Volume IV – Review

January 17, 2003

If I was as popular with teenage girls as The Bouncing Souls… I’d be in a lot of trouble. Plus, I don’t think I could handle all the giggling and gossip.

Anti-Flag – The Bouncing Souls – Split Series Volume IV- Review

January 17, 2003

The Anti-Flag side has ominous guitar intros. The songs are pretty well developed with lots of different parts and no shortage of righteous indignation.

The Gloryholes – Knock You Up – Review

January 10, 2003

The album’s got a real wild, live feel. Tim Kerr produced it, and he likes everybody to get riled up in the studio. Shouting and whooping from all directions.

Viva Death – Review

January 3, 2003

Bright, clean leads soar like eagles over dark jungle chord progressions. Fuzzed vocals are shouted with the battlecry intensity of sex, death, and revolution.

Billy – Volume One – Review

January 3, 2003

Rockabilly is a hipster costume party emulation of rock and roll’s first unsteady steps out of the primordial soup until Marty McFly invented the guitar solo.

Gas Huffer – The Rest of Us – Review

January 3, 2003

Gas Huffer is good for twangy, frantic, surfish songs of the garage-pop variety. The Rest of Us is the best one yet.

Boss Martians – Making the Rounds – Review

January 3, 2003

Power pop indeed. Most of the songs are of the sure-fire rock variety, complete with many repeated choruses to make sure catchy little buggers have a good grip.

Soledad Brothers – Steal Your Soul and Dare Your Spirit to Move – Review

January 3, 2003

It’s not the first Delta blues-type rock album to ever peak my interest, damn sure it won’t be the last either.

Sixer – Beautiful Trash – Review

January 3, 2003

Like Social Distortion meets Rancid. That’s alright if you like those bands, and I like Rancid (except Life Won’t Wait) and Social Distortion, so fuck off.

Flogging Molly – Drunken Lullabies – Review

October 4, 2002

A lot of songs start with the traditional Celtic half of the band. Then the boys bust down the door with a fine American Telecaster/Marshal crunch.
