Less Than Jake – Losing Streak – Review June 1, 1997 The punk side is reminiscent of Snuff. The ska side is not so easily pinned down. I’m not a fan of distorted guitar in ska, but this band may turn me around.
Arsenals – Stomp – Review June 1, 1995 ad production, worse songs, and few hooks. There are plenty of unsigned ska bands who could “stomp” these guys into the ground.
Today is the Day – Willpower – Review February 1, 1995 The hooks are buried. If you want easy listening, buy one of STP’s records. If you want something that demands your attention, this CD is the shit.
Toxic Reasons – Independence – Review December 1, 1994 Independence from Toxic Reason possesses enough energy to give Johnny Lydon a coronary; they define rebellion.
The Business – Keep The Faith – Review December 1, 1994 Keep the Faith from The Business carries a high level of energy with better production and a feeling of camaraderie.
English Dogs – Bow To None – Review December 1, 1994 They retrieved their balls from the early ’80s and even pulled in some fresh ’90s sound to create a very high energy mix.
The Goats – No Goats, No Glory – Review November 1, 1994 Once again, Hip-Hop, THC, and white guys with guitars join forces to fight racism and political injustice.
