A sampling of every record (including 7″s and EPs) Lookout! released in 1997. Gives you a pretty good understanding of where Lookout! is coming from these days.
A mix of prog rock and Boston-baked powerpop, Elsewhere wear influences such as Rush, the Police, and ’80s British synthpop on their sleeves with pride.
Angry Fist is as non-stop punch-packing as its title suggests. As quick-tempoed, melodic, and well-produced as we’ve come to expect from Fat Wreck Chords.
A Pleasant Shade of Gray is a crystallized dream, an atmospheric wonder filled with the tricky time changes only Fates or Rush could tackle successfully.
Crumbox is from L.A. Their album was recorded in San Diego, and their label has a Laguna Beach, CA address. Yet they sound like Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
A thoughtful, sensitive, female (sounding)-fronted rock band. Some of the harder, more rockin’ songs combine the chugging guitars of pop rock of Descendents.
Opening with the surprisingly melodic intro of “A Staining Impression,” Eleven Thirty-Four show themselves well-versed in hardcore and “catchy” songwriting.
Losing two members after last year’s raw and melodic Better Days, Welt returns with a darker, grittier punk pop sound. Still as catchy and singable as ever.
