The Hurt Process – A Heartbeat Behind – Review

June 1, 2005

Before the dumb screaming makes me reach for the remote, the pussy vocals come in, and before being sickened, they step on the distortion and yell some more.

Straylight Run – Review

April 25, 2005

In 2002, John Nolan and Shaun Cooper left Taking Back Sunday and formed Straylight Run with Nolan’s sister, keyboardist Michelle, and drummer Will Noon.

Giles – Review

April 13, 2005

Between the Buried and Me are passable metalcore, with glimmers of interesting. This is an experimental electro side project of the singer. It’s horrid.

Spitalfield – Stop Doing Bad Things – Review

February 23, 2005

Heartfelt, new style “punk,” tours with Fall Out Boy and Straylight Run. From Chicago, so they’re a little smarter than yer average jerk-off, but not by much.

A Perfect Murder – Unbroken – Review

December 13, 2004

A Perfect Murder’s debut can best be described as “typical” and/or “generic,” with hard-driving strides of metallic goodness peppered throughout the album.

Atreyu – The Curse – Review

November 1, 2004

Atreyu’ve been combining Arch Enemy guitar wails with hardcore rumbling since ’01, recently overtaken by Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, and Avenged Sevenfold.

Snapcase – Bright Flashes – Review

July 12, 2004

When a band releases a hodge-podge of new tracks, remixes, and covers, they’re trying to stay in the spotlight. That said, Snapcase always delivers the goods.

Premonitions of War – Left in Kowloon – Review

July 12, 2004

Punishing, grinding hardcore done with such ferocious, and head-down momentum that sitting through a listen or two can weigh heavily on your nerves.

Between The Buried And Me – The Silent Circus – Review

June 7, 2004

BTBAM know how to juggle multiple reins and not lose control. The music and ideas in the hands of a less experienced band would’ve been a nightmare.

Bayside – Sirens and Condolences – Review

April 19, 2004

Sirens and Condolences, is absolutely awesome. It’s morbid, melodic rock that’s catchy and intense, with rough guitar solos, gentle, brooding vocals and lyrics that are masochistic and often murderous.
