Ozma – Spending Time On The Borderline – Review

October 22, 2003

Ozma uses less synthesizer and more woo-woo harmonies to give us their best Weezer imitation to date.

Noise Rachet – Review

October 22, 2003

Gorgeous, fluid harmonies and chunky guitars. A gem disguised as bad grunge rock.

The Suicide Machines – A Match and Some Gasoline – Review

October 22, 2003

They now sound a little bit less like themselves, and a whole lot more like Rage Against The Machine mixed with 311 and even at times, (GASP!) Linkin Park.

Cinema Beer Buddy – Review

October 15, 2003

Videos by Jimmy Eat World, Midtown, A.F.I., Strung Out and The Ataris. The highlight is the video for Taking Back Sunday’s song “Cute Without the ‘E.'”

Punk vs Emo – Review

October 15, 2003

A pretty decent sampler for those who’ve been under a rock the past ten years and are now looking to be somewhat “in the know” concerning emo and punk.

Schatzi – Motion City Soundtrack – Split EP – Review

October 1, 2003

Schatzi contributes three great songs to the split, two of which evoke the same energy as Motion City Soundtrack’s tracks, yet are less poppy and more moody.

Motion City Soundtrack – Schatzi – Split EP – Review

October 1, 2003

When Motion City Soundtrack took to the stage and delivered an energetic mix of anthemic rock and melodic synth-pop, I was practically bouncing off the walls.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Fever To Tell – Review

October 1, 2003

This garage rock/art punk revivalist trio consists of a drummer, a singer (or wailer/whiner/whatever) and a guitarist. No bassist. They make due just fine.

Fall Out Boy – Take This To Your Grave – Review

September 24, 2003

Aside from the strong, melodious vocals, I really fell for Fall Out Boy (ha ha, oh what a clever pun) because they have a devilish side to their lyrics.

Copeland – Beneath Medicine Tree – Review

September 24, 2003

Driven by intense piano rock, fuzzy guitars, and dreamy vocals, Beneath Medicine Tree is definitely a pretty album for when you want to listen to sad music.
