The Bodies – Firepower Is Our Business – Review

March 1, 2002

The Bodies are a good garagey-sounding street/Oi! band from Sonoma, CA, and this is a reissue of the EP on Vulture Rock.

Reducers SF – Crappy Clubs and Smelly Pubs – Review

February 22, 2002

Sing along if ya really care, but sometimes ya can’t help it. Singin’ along, I mean. I usually think this stuff is just plain ol’ played out…

Antiseen – The Boys From Brutalsville – Review

February 22, 2002

AntiSeen’s first studio rec since ’96, and it’s probably the “easiest to swallow,” though that phrase doesn’t mean much when yer talking about AntiSeen.

Sixer – Saving Grace – Review

February 22, 2002

More sore throat street punk ‘cept with a better sense of melody than most’n’a heartfelt debt to older, less fashionable “reactionary” rock’n’roll.

Thug Murder – The 13th Round – Review

June 4, 2001

A three-piece all-girl street punk band from Tokyo? Sounds like a gimmick, but if it is, it’s a good one cuz these girls rock! Discovered by DKM’s Ken Casey.

The Vigilantes – No Destiny – Review

June 4, 2001

The band kicks out the Misfits style and the production is really full and hard, but the singer needs to work on his timing without eating the mic.

Niblick Henbane – Go Away – Review

June 3, 2001

So many street punk/Oi! bands reference Niblick Henbane, but I’ve never really gotten a good grip on what “the originators” sounded like. Gruff.

The Forgotten – Keep the Corpses Quiet – Review

April 1, 2001

Even those who aren’t fans of punk street anthems might dig this. There’s just a little something that takes it beyond the typical thuggery. Produced by Lars.

Runnin’ Riot – Reclaim the Streets – Review

April 1, 2001

Workin’ class Oi, pure Irish style, the kinda stuff ya can fake ’til yer blue in the face, but you’ll never get right.
