Liberation – Songs To Benefit PETA – Review

October 15, 2003

Hopefully, projects like Liberation will do damage control for all PETA’s frivolous lawsuits that mar the organization like spray paint on a mink stole.

Atticus – Dragging the Lake – Review

November 11, 2002

Hotshot punkpop and emopunk bands, and some up-and-comers. Unreleased tracks can be a misleading introduction, but it’s a nice addition for serious music fans.

Warped Tour 2002 Compilation – Review

Midtown – Living Well Is the Best Revenge – Review

June 28, 2002

Midtown are from New Jersey, home of Bon Jovi, Springsteen, the Bouncing Souls, and the Sopranos. Copout reference points’d be Blink-182 and A New Found Glory.

February 22, 2002

Midtown – Save the World, Lose the Girl – Review

January 1, 2000

Mostly pop punk, a little ska punk, all very young and energetic, without all the jaded apathy of many of the older punk bands.
