Against All Authority / Common Rider Split CD
A long time ago, I bought Against All Authority’s All Fall Down for a few bucks from a place at a flea market. I never listened to it much, but I guess now, after selling it, maybe I should have. This is not the ska I was imagining from the band, but rather a pop-influenced brand of rock. Nods are given to bands like Screeching Weasel and The Clash, albeit…

Against All Authority – The Restoration of Chaos & Order (CD)
Against All Authority show that they have not lost a step in the few years between this album and the last; the title track ties together Rancid, Rise Against, and the Bouncing Souls to create something that is mired in the older punk styles but still is extremely salient. Tracks are not long and the message that Against All Authority provides is crystal clear. When the band goes into the…

Aerosmith – Devil’s Get A New Disguise
Aerosmith has had a number of “greatest hits†collection. I am a moderate fan of the band, and I can recall two; “Big Hits†and “Young Lustâ€. Apparently, there was also “O, Yeahâ€, “Aerosmith’s Greatest Hitsâ€, and “Gemsâ€. So, the question is why should anyone pick up this album if they have any of the albums described previously? Well, the first reason is that tracks from Aerosmith’s entire career are…

Eighteen years and still going for some unexplainable reason. New Orleans party band Cowboy Mouth have managed to take a handful of trite party songs, a strong word-of-mouth live show and shape a pretty decent career as second rate Jimmy Buffetts.
