Strife – In this Defiance – Review November 1, 1997 Solid production, great and short songwriting, and a definite heavier metal influence.
Cast Iron Hike – Watch It Burn – Interview September 1, 1997 An interview with vocalist Jacob Otis Brennan
Snapcase – Progression Through Unlearning – Interview June 1, 1997 An interview with vocalist Darry Taberski
Cause for Alarm – Cheaters and the Cheated – Review April 1, 1997 This band is Pre-Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, and any other New York olde time band. You’ve heard of old school? Well, CFA is pre-school.

Warzone – The Sound of Revolution – Review February 1, 1997 Eleven new tracks of fast, energetic, positive, straight-up, old school style New York hardcore played just right by the real McCoys.
Deadguy – Screamin’ with the Deadguy Quintet – Interview February 1, 1997 An interview with drummer Dave Rosenberg
Baby Gopal – Fearless – Review November 1, 1996 Irresistible charm, poignant lyrics, and enough twisty song writing so that only occasionally does the high-sugar mixture glob into sap.
Doughnuts – Feel Me Bleed – Review August 1, 1996 This is an album full of hard-edged, emotional, heavy, modern, and original metal/hardcore.
By the Grace of God – For the Love of Indie Rock – Review August 1, 1996 A sort of supergroup to redefine the fun and edge of hardcore. The result is eight songs of straight-forward, energetic, uplifting hardcore for the kids.
