Movie Star Kiss – Starting Over – Review

September 1, 2006

Almost too alt boy band for me, but if you can stomach Sugarcult, you should do fine with this. They almost broke when they were called Supercrush.

Morello – Twelve Ways To Breathe – Review

September 1, 2006

“Irish-Italian rock for fans of Refused, Billy Talent, and The Used.” Uh, I hear some hipster dance punk, some screamy punk, and some angular/jerky riffs. Would that be Refused by way of Ikara Colt and Division of Laura Lee or something? Dunno, sounds trendy to me.

Brand New Sin – Tequila – Review

September 1, 2006

Perfect album name for these Southern-fried hardcore shot-pounders. A good time, blackout darkness lurking beneath the party, some butt-wiggle, some stumble.

Black Helicopter – Invisible Jet – Review

September 1, 2006

From the ashes of Green Magnet School and Kudgel, Black Helicopter have a release on Traktor7, and now Thurston Moore’s boutique label, Ecstatic Peace.

Battleship – Hearts Addendum – Review

September 1, 2006

Battleship is from Oakland, have skronky sax, waggling bass, clattering drums, and a distorted yowler who surely throws tantrums on the stage.

Mordacious – This Emptiness – Review

September 1, 2006

This stuff is called Terror EBM for a reason! This is Mordacious’ third full-length, got 14 tracks of distorted vocals, dancefloor beats, and scary synths.

A Static Lullaby – Review

September 1, 2006

Since 2001, A Static Lullaby has been screaming, emoting, harmonizing, noodling, and pounding.

Threat – Soundtrack – Review

September 1, 2006

It takes an underground movie like Threat to have the courage to bring metalcore and digital hardcore together.

War From A Harlot’s Mouth – Molotov Solution – Review

September 1, 2006

This stuff cracks me up. I think it’s supposed to. Goregrind monster-swallowing-the-mic death with buckshot blast drumming and off-kilter staggering guitar.

Threat – Music That Inspired The Movie – Review

September 1, 2006

It’s not until you hear a digital hardcore artist rip apart a metalcore song and string it back together that ya realize how dull it was to begin with.
