Totimoshi – Milagrosa – Review

August 1, 2008

The sound, approach, structure remains intact, but a relaxed sway has infiltrated. From strangled screaming to articulating why they were so goddamn cranked-up.

Valient Thorr – Immortalizer – Review

March 1, 2008

November 17, 2006

Riverboat Gamblers are energetic, anthemic, and singalongable without being hoaky, and they’re tough without being gargled-glass street punk.

Riverboat Gamblers – To The Confusion of Our Enemies – Review

January 1, 2006

Pretty straight-forward chaos rock/punk rock. Dive bar rock, fueled by beer, whiskey, fast cars, and faster women.

Single Frame – Body/End/Basement – Review

Electronic music for trendy indie kids too lazy to get into real electronic music. Single Frame is evidently one of the bigger names in this watered-down genre.

Vaux – There Must Be Some Way To Stop Them – Review

September 3, 2003

Vaux fulfill the promise Filter never made good on. Experimental rock bits are swirled into the metal base, appealing to folks weary of Tool’s whining.
