The Judas Factor – Kiss Suicide – Review

June 1, 2000

Taking the art-school hardcore that they experimented with on their debut full-length even further, this EP is like a trip through someone’s private catharsis.

Garrison – A Mile in Cold Water – Review

June 1, 2000

They’re heavy without being hard, dynamic without being unfocused. A combination of post-rock intellect and pop sensitivity. Well done.

Gameface – Errortype: 11 – What’s Up Bro? – Review

June 1, 2000

After Gameface’s last disappointment of a long-player, they bounce back with two originals that’re probably some of the best hooks they’ve ever written.

Errortype: 11 – Gameface – What’s Up Bro? – Review

An Amplified to Rock outtake as well as a new tune called “Clan MacGregor and the Drunk Boys,” both of which prove just how far a dark melody can take you.

I hope The Last of the Daydreams isn’t “the last of the emo albums that has actual singing.” Yes, By A Thread actually tries in a genre that never does.

Will Haven – WHVN – Review

January 1, 2000

This sounds like every other metal/noisecore band out there. Chug-chug-chug, scream! Sludge-sludge-sludge, scream (again)! Atonal shred-shred-shred, snore…

Nooooo… must turn off… though it would be better than last release (horrible 7″)… me wrong… very wrong…

Fastbreak – Whenever You’re Ready – Interview

January 1, 2000

An interview with vocalist Patrick Rorick and bassist Don Raymond

Himsa – Review

January 1, 2000

Himsa plays meticulous, self-described “-core” music that takes advantage of the spaces lightness sometimes offers. Not that Himsa plays light at any time.
