The Paybacks – Knock Loud – Review

November 22, 2002

They may not be much to look at, but these Detroit bad boys gots the rock’n’roll grit and pedigree (The Henchmen, Rocket 455, Ten High).

Retox – Last Call – Review

November 22, 2002

Retox has been around 10 years and namedrop RKL (Rich Kids on LSD) and they’re probably drinking buds with Guttermouth and Nododys and swap porn tapes with ’em.

Millions Of Dead Cops, or MDC, are an important punk band, and this 31-song retrospective collects faves from most of their records over the last 20+ years.

Atticus – Dragging the Lake – Review

November 11, 2002

Hotshot punkpop and emopunk bands, and some up-and-comers. Unreleased tracks can be a misleading introduction, but it’s a nice addition for serious music fans.
