Innaway – Review

April 13, 2005

Not much to grab onto here, and I’m too high strung to ever really appreciate this gentle indie rock. Some Records is pretty reliable.

The New Transit Direction – Wonderful Defense Mechanisms – Review

February 14, 2005

A fine slab of post-hardcore, pop-flavored jagged punk this is. But no recording could ever translate the band’s blistering onstage energy.

The Exit – Home For An Island – Review

January 24, 2005

A power trio that possess ludicrous technical prowess as well as rhythmic dexterity, daring to challenge The Police and Talking Heads for their thrones.

The Exit – New Beat – Review

November 22, 2002

Bad ass pop songs played with a NY deli helping of elbow grease. Outstanding singing (shared between all three members) on top of substantial crunch and boom.

Rival Schools United By Onelinedrawing – Review

March 8, 2002

This is very different from Rival Schools’ debut record and Onelinedrawing’s regular material. The result is more offbeat than their own individual works.

Error Type: 11 – Amplified to Rock – Review

April 1, 2000

Amplified to Rock is unabashedly hook-laden, radio-friendly material that doesn’t forget its tough roots.

Cutlass Supreme – Review

September 1, 1999

Indie rock with a bit of pop thrown in. Cutlass Supreme really doesn’t stand out in a genre of heavy hitters like Jimmy Eat World and The Promise Ring.

Error Type 11 – Review

September 1, 1998

It takes a few listens to appreciate their self-titled debut, but once you get into it, it’ll stay in your player for a while.

Six Going On Seven – Self Made Mess – Review

September 1, 1998

At times soft and melodic, at times fast and hard, these are memorable songs that stick with you after the CD ends.
