Cadacross – So Pale Is the Light – Review

March 28, 2005

Third-tier Finnish metal is still pretty good. The synths are a bit corny, and everything’s a little tentative and misty-sounding. And too many leaping elves.

Broken Bones – Time for Anger, Not Justice – Review

March 28, 2005

I’ve got a record in the ’80s with “F.O.A.D.” and every hardcore punk record I got later from Broken Bones was worse than the first.

Apocalyptica – Reflections – Review

March 28, 2005

Love the concept (metal with cellos) but always kinda let down by the CDs. In ’96, they covered Metallica tunes. Maybe we’re waiting for something like that.

All Shall Perish – Hate Malice Revenge – Review

March 28, 2005

Death metal with Cookie Monster vocals. Another one. The band’s debut. Tight as shit, but most death metal is.

Wammo – Lowriders on the Storm – Review

March 16, 2005

Third solo release from the wacknut in The Asylum Street Spankers. His last CD was called Faster Than the Speed of Suck. That’s funny too.

Tydyl Wave – Break Down the Walls – Review

March 16, 2005

Good Creed cover band. Powerful, emotive singer, singing about struggle and redemption and all that movie shit we all fall for.

The Willowz – The Willowz Are Coming – Review

March 16, 2005

The Willowz played while Kristen Dunst danced in her underwear in Eternal Sunshine of the Whateverthefuckitwas. They’re already cooler than you’ll ever be.

The Quirks – Amnesia is a Drag – Review

March 16, 2005

They’re not post-glam rock losers, ironic, or mop-top cuties trying to meet girls by being in a band, they’re fun bar rock singing about barfights & break-ups.

Hookers – Casting the Runes – Review

March 16, 2005

Broke up in 2002, this is a collection of their shit. Ex-members of Nashville Pussy and Nine Pound Hammer. They were rock like the early Dwarves were rock.

The Hollow Points – The Black Spot – Review

March 16, 2005

From the streets of Seattle, punk rock produced by Duane Peters. Part peppy, part mid-tempo Social D, you can tell there are stories worth listening to here.
