Force of Evil – Black Empire – Review

June 1, 2006

A parade of cliches, and with two Merciful Fate guitarists in the fold, you’d hope they could come up with better riffs, better songs, and less horrid lyrics.

Cougars – Pillow Talk – Review

June 1, 2006

Good, chaotic, loud & boisterous, totally locked-in rhythm, freakin’ horns’n’reeds. Either from NYC or Chicago. A “band to know” nod from AP and an EP on Thick.

Autumn Black – Beneath The Shadows – Review

June 1, 2006

Fans seem content with “genre bands,” but the rare melody break of “Breathe for Me,” lets ya know this band has the goods, they just usually fail to bring it.

Antler – Nothing That A Bullet Couldn’t Cure – Review

June 1, 2006

Antler is most of Roadsaw. Rich vocals and lots of tips of the hat to classic rock (and Southern rock), it’s just too mired in mid-tempo and weak balladeering.

Spyke-IT Media Storage – Review

April 28, 2006

Different color plastic platters with rubbery gripping bottom and a spiky top: It’s so simple, it’s amazing no one thought of it sooner.

Dead Batteries – Review

April 28, 2006

I thought it was some art project and I could impress my friends by having cooler useless shit than them. But they work. And they cost $1.25 each.

Evil Now – Review

April 28, 2006

Evil Now is an electronic catalog/newsletter for Shane Bugbee, a self-promoting lunatic who’s been discovering/reselling/producing weird shit for 20 years now.

Gothic Calendar 2006 – Review

April 28, 2006

It hangs on the wall and you look at it to see what day your utilities will actually shut off. It’s far prettier than the Staples calendar I used last year.

The Postman – Review

April 28, 2006

The Postman makes fake stamps and tries to slip them passed the French mailing authorities so he can meet the band and take photos of them holding his artwork.

Prelude to a Lick: The Editor’s Rant – Column

April 28, 2006

After 13 years, reinventing and restructuring every so often along the way, here’s The New Way. The mag is now FREE, from coast to coast, you lucky suckers.
