Atticus – Dragging the Lake II – Review

July 2, 2003

Hear the bands you’ve heard everyone talk about, and spit at the shit bands that, for some reason, are cheered instead of beaten up in the parking lot.

Madcap – East to West – Review

May 30, 2003

Insipid four-chord odes to the perseverance and whoa-oh-oh of those of us who are “still here” only serve to remind me that I should probably be on my way.
