House of Flesh Mannequins – Review

March 16, 2012

A bizarrely interesting mindtrip for fans of the outlandish. Acting is stiff and awkward, but very entertaining. The rapid-fire outrageousness is worth a look.

X – The Unheard Music – Review

X is the coolest band ever. From the twisted poetry of Exene and John Doe to the steely-eyed perpetual smile of Billy Zoom to a drummer named D.J. Bonebrake.

Thankskilling – DVD – Review

November 11, 2011

Spawning the quotables “Gobble, Gobble, motherfucker” and “Nice tits, bitch,” this is a low budget movie that’s more an attempt at comedy than a horror film.

Dwarves – Born Again – Review

June 1, 2011

18 new songs to fingerfuck your eardrums, from harmonized rampage to doo-wop teenage thrills. Only Blag is getting a handjob under the counter at the malt shop.

Turisas, Korpiklaani, TYR, Finntroll, Leaves Eyes, and others are universally nice, even as Bill Zebub drags the questioning into his predictable banality.

Metal Retardation – Review

April 1, 2010

Being interviewed by Bill Zebub is enough to melt anyone’s patience. A testament to the tolerance of Peter Steele, George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher, King Diamond.

Iggy Pop – Lust For Life – Review

September 1, 2009

This documentary carries a buncha footage from 20 years ago with Ig, some choice Stoogeliness, and interview footage with guitar player Ron Ashton. It’s great.

Lydia Lunch – Video Hysterie: 1978-2006 – Review

October 1, 2008

A menacing cool urban ’50s heroin vibe jimmied through a less-polite take on the ’90s Tom Waits/Cop Shoot Cop wheezy industrial/song writerishness.

Iggy & the Stooges – Escaped Maniacs – Review

Sex Pistols, Dead Boys, and The Damned covered’m: Their groove landed in The Avengers lap, the Flesheaters hands, then, with their true heirs, Black Flag.

Winter – Into Darkness/Eternal Frost – Review

July 1, 2008

A bell-ringer that hit the doom gong in a new way. A slow, grind-inflected deathly thud subtracting the rock and adding more coagulated crush and heavy drone.

The Mooney Suzuki – Live June 29th, 2001 – Review

July 1, 2008

Live warts ‘n’ all at thee NYC institution, CBGBs (RIP), garagists The Mooney Suzuki ride ’60s into ’70s rootage like their NYC forebearers The Fuzztones did.

A snapshot of a band as well as an era as it was heaved up out of the reconstruction of the bohemian/art-attack via power chord beatdown after the hippie thing.

American Speedway – Ship of Fools – Review

March 1, 2008

Stomping rocker punk growl jammed thru Motörhead’s dirt metal. This guitar ethos has been defined by the great Fistful of Rock series. Look’m up, great stuff.

Tad – Busted Circuits and Ringing Ears – Review

February 1, 2008

Pure hard rock riff action without Soundgarden/Alice In Chains’ metal, Mudhoney’s salt blast garage howl, or Pearl Jam’n’Nirvana’s classic rock balladry.
