Scissorfight – Jaggernaut – Review

December 18, 2006

There are multiple tracks overdubbed, some tentative attempts at harmonies, and Ironlung seems to be making a valiant attempt at actual singing.

Scissorfight – Potential New Agent for Unconventional Warfare – Review

July 2, 2003

Mixing nü metal breakdown stomp and Southern-fried dirt rock kick-ass, Scissorfight are for both knuckledragging groove-metalers and shaggy stoner/hard rockers.

Right In The Nuts – A Tribute to Aerosmith – Review

September 1, 2000

It’s kinda cool how some of these bands have worked this stuff back to the root heritage, proving how good the songs are when you scrape the sheen off.

A great collection of hardcore bands mostly from Boston, some obscure, some defunct, this release could serve as a primer for anyone interested in the scene.

Scissorfight – “Human Head” – Review

6L6 – with Mung, Scissorfight, 5 Seconds Expired at the Middle East Cafe – Review

October 1, 1996

They were loud, they were fast, they were pretentious, but they had lots of fun. They were just wild enough to avoid being commercial.

Mung – with 6L6, Scissorfight, 5 Seconds Expired at the Middle East Cafe – Review

October 1, 1996

I genuinely like Mung’s sloppy drunkpunk style, sing along (if you can understand them) choruses and “Rancid are a bunch of pansies” attitude.

Scissorfight – with Mung, 6L6, 5 Seconds Expired at the Middle East Cafe – Review

Scissorfight’s singer looks like a ZZ Top pickup-truck-driving hick with his straw hat and long beard. After hearing his demonic growls, I wouldn’t want to ask.
