The Sullied – Meltdown – Review

November 26, 2003

Many of the songs are heavy, but they’re heavy in a King’s X way, not heavy in a “we base our songs off the parts of Pantera songs we can actually play” way.

The Rumblers – Hold On Tight – Review

November 26, 2003

Part greaser rock, part melodic punk. There’s thoughtful, hard-livin’ lyrics, but there’s also countrified punk, and ’50-style whoa-whoa melody and harmony.

Rock City Crimewave – Sealed with a Curse – Review

November 26, 2003

RCC is the graveyard party of some good Boston bands: 8-Ball Shifter singer EEE Adams, Cherry 2000 bassist Poundy, and Gardner Key from The Syphlloids.

Give – The Dog Days of Summer – Review

November 26, 2003

Not much info on this band, but not really much needed. Boston hard rock, with members from such local heavyweights as Honkeyball, Lazlo Bane, and Claymore.

Girlband – Rock for Beginners – Review

November 26, 2003

Girlband is made up of three guys who love melodic punk. Peppy and playful, like lots of good pop-punk bands in the mid-ands,-late-’90s.

Les – The View From Here – Review

November 26, 2003

Les is passionate, a multi-instrumentalist. But he’s not a wimpy singer/songwriter you want to kick the shit out of, for fear he’d write a song about it.

The Primetime Heroes – Review

November 19, 2003

Young and fast, Kansas boys The Primetime Heroes wear their worship of Goldfinger, New Found Glory, Green Day, and Less Than Jake on their sleeves.

Tzefa – Feed Me – Review

November 19, 2003

A four-song EP from this novel New York metal band. Melodic metal with violin and male/female singers has been done before, but it perks the ears every time.

Slick Fifty Seven – The Ghost of Bonnie Parker – Review

November 19, 2003

Slick Fifty Seven aren’t hicks, they aren’t hipsters, they’re bona fide country punks, like Supersuckers and their peers.

Trigger – Distort and Explode – Review

November 19, 2003

Punk rock’n’roll like Gaza Strippers, Supersuckers, and New Bomb Turks. From Gothenburg, Sweden, with some nice vintage harmonica and organ sounds.
