Agnostic Front-Raw Unleashed [ADB]

Agnostic Front-Raw Unleashed 62 songs on Grand Theft Auto in 1995. All of the songs in their unfinished format. Really short songs (under one minute) in a pre mix down format. The songs are very powerful, with excellent political lyrics. Unfortunately, the guitar lines usually are the same distorted power chords, and the guy sings the same way on most of the songs. They sound like MOD, SOD, and Exodus…

The Adults – Action Street [ADB]

The Adults- Action Street I did not like this album much. Its an album with minimal guitars, and when they do have guitars, its still just a guy half singing half speaking. The Adults half sound like Primus and half like Mr. Tornado Head, taking the worst elements from each. This is boring college-style rock and thats all i have to say. This album gets a 4.5/10

Earl Greyhound Announce Fall Tour With Chris Cornell & Gov’t Mule

“You can tell by the way Earl Greyhound pistol-whip the middle of “Monkey” in chopped-up meter, “Black Dog” style, that they are here to get the Led out.” – Rolling Stone “Whether or not Earl Greyhound are the next big thing is irrelevant—watching them will convince you that they are.” – New Yorker

Acumen-Territory=Universe [ADB]

Acumen-Territory=Universe This band gives me a headache. I usually like most bands, as evidenced by my album reveiws, but this is pointless repetitive shit. I heard of this band from the techtronik people at school, and picked the cd up for that reason. Dont ever believe any good albums picked by your friends, because usually they will disappoint you. This band sounds most like the vocals of Rob Zombie +…

H2O – One Life One Chance / 2006 MVD / 157 Minutes / http://www.h2ogo.com / http://www.mvdb2b.com / Ever since I heard the title track from this DVD, I was a H2O fan.
