The Bad Vibes – Hate Your Everything – Review

February 14, 2003

Power chords, relentless drum pounding, the bass mixed way loud, and nearly unintelligible screaming lyrics are just what I like.

Rancid Vat – The Cheesesteak Years – Review

January 17, 2003

An excellent sampling of their best live and studio tunes recorded in Philly, a period where they went more for a punk rock style than their Oregon noise days.

The Bulemics – Soundtrack to the Apocalypse – Review

January 3, 2003

Dirt punk hardcore with full-on speedmetal chops, GG Allin’s moral tone, and Angry Samoans’ roots who don’t dick around with their “desires.”

ADZ – American Steel – Review

January 3, 2003

Some pop-punk influence, but thankfully beefed up in every facet to take it out of that genre. The lyrics are funny and poignant and not sung like a sissy.

Antiseen – 15 Minutes of Fame 15 Years of Infamy – Review

February 22, 2002

AntiSeen returns with the rarities/b-side comp 15 Minutes… which sounds authentically shitty, as any collection dating back 5-15 years oughtta.

Cocknoose – White Trash Messiahs – Review

February 22, 2002

A fist in yer face and ten new tracks to bitchslap punkpoppers to. Tuneful yet gruff, mid-tempo to occasionally fast-paced, without resorting to metal.
