Rival Schools – United By Fate – Review

February 22, 2002

After two years (or more), Walter Schreifels’ (ex-Gorilla Biscuits, ex-Quicksand, co-owner of Some Records) Rival Schools grace us with a record.

Rise Against – The Unraveling – Review

February 22, 2002

Featuring ex-members of 88 Fingers Louie, including guitarist/backup vocalist Dan “Mr. Precision,” so you know there’s hard-hitting melodic hardcore here.

Right Brigade – Review

February 22, 2002

Heavy (handed) hardcore that refuses to call itself “old school” but pretty much is. An all-out powerchord assault and with plenty of mosh parts.

Red Animal War – Breaking in an Angel – Review

February 22, 2002

More complex than ever, Red Animal War has incorporated elements of razor-sharp guitar swipes into their former emo selves.

Joan Of Arc – How Can Any Thing So Little Be Any More? – Review

February 22, 2002

Eight “songs” pulled from The Gap sessions. As with the album, you either think Joan Of Arc had become a complete mess by their end, or pure abstract geniuses.

Napalm Death – Enemy of the Music Business – Interview

February 22, 2002

An interview with Barney Greenway

Jimmy Eat World – Bleed American – Review

February 22, 2002

The truth is that Bleed American just isn’t that good. How did a band as untouchable as Jimmy Eat World create something as bland and mundane as this?

Pleasant Grove – Review

February 22, 2002

Lethargic combination of Pavement’s vocals, Wilco’s country vibe, and Bedhead’s minimalism. Soothing, almost lullaby-like for the broken hearted.

Linea 77 – Ketchup Suicide – Review

February 22, 2002

Two vocalists like Linkin Park, great production like a EuroHouse party. You’d dig this if you hadn’t heard Dub War do it right five years ago.

Pintsize – Collapse in Style – Review

February 22, 2002

Humble, optimistic, youthful, and earnest kids trying not to be limited by genres. I applaud them.
