Knut – Review

May 31, 2002

A four-song fix. Knut experiences the same pain, rage, and violent creative urge that their brothers-in-post-hardcore-arms like Burnt By The Sun and Botch do.

Cavity – On the Lam – Review

May 17, 2002

On The Lam is nine songs, fifty-two minutes, of undulating, riff-wracking doomy fun that makes COC sound like Backstreet Boys.

Coalesce – Boy Sets Fire – Review

April 1, 2000

While Coalesce can make one-dimensional emo hardcore into blistering workouts of noise and texture, Boy Sets Fire can’t even cover material correctly.

Boy Sets Fire – Coalesce – Review

April 1, 2000

Boy Sets Fire can’t even cover material correctly. Sounding weak and devoid of the essence that the originals held, their two Coalesce covers are laughable.

Botch – We Are the Romans – Review

April 1, 2000

Noisecore doesn’t get any better than this. Not even Deadguy/Kiss It Goodbye stuff. Botch makes spazzing-out on record feel like a live show in your stereo.

Cave In – Creative Eclipses – Review

January 1, 2000

180 degrees from their last output (the math-metalcore of Until Your Heart Stops), Cave-In’s new EP spits in the faces of Hessians and hardcore tough guys.

Coalesce – There is Nothing New Under the Sun – Review

June 1, 1999

What a fun fuckin’ record. The Midwestern madmen of Coalesce covering songs by the almighty Led Zeppelin.
