The Atari Star – Dispelling The Myth of Accurate Maps – Review

December 10, 2003

The spacey guitar put me into a daze, and before I knew what was happening, the drums and overdrive roared in, only to quickly fade out, and I’d been won over.

Traitors – Everything Went Shit – Review

May 31, 2002

A collection of the band’s first “lost” album along with multiple 7″/comp/unreleased tracks. Traitors were Naked Raygun on a tea-bagging spree.

Gods Reflex – Scenes from a Motel Seduction – Review

September 1, 2000

Well-sung, clean-guitar-o-plenty emo with a pinch of rock. A lot of Midwest influence in the way the vocals grab you by the chest and rub onions in your eyes.

Lynard’s Innards – You’re Wreckin’ Me – Review

April 1, 1999

Ten songs in 22 minutes of frantic, occasionally emo-ish (that means they yell) melodic punk with kinda grimy production, and plenty of simply tuneful songs.

The Strike – A Conscience Left To Struggle With Pockets Full of Rust – Review

June 1, 1997

Join me brothers, leave behind the Jerry Rice Breathe Rite Nasal Strip of stinky poop rock and let’s take that fuckin’ hill!

Zoinks! – No Empathy – Split – Review

March 1, 1996

Nice and simple; a four-song split EP of catchy, upbeat, poppy punk. Musically, Zoinks! reminds me a bit of Descendents, especially the drums.

No Empathy – No Empathy/Zoinks! split – Review

March 1, 1996

The production is more indie guitar rock than your usual stadium punk fare, a needed change of pace. No Empathy sounds more like the Knack than NOFX.

Not Rebecca – Twin City Obituary – Review

September 1, 1995

The playing is far from sloppy, and saying that they have energy is like saying The Great Wall of China is a bunch of rocks on top of each other.

International Hoodwink – The Smoothies and International Hoodwink – Play Their Respective Hits – Review

July 1, 1995

International Hoodwink flail noisily and scream angrily. Not really my style, but good.
