This is really what I’ve come to expect from Mustard Plug, as I have had the pleasure to review a number of their prior releases for inclusion at the local radio station. If you are at all familiar with Mustard Plug, you already know of their brand of infectious ska/punk. If you are wondering why Mustard Plug hasn’t been like the rest of the ska acts and turned to emo…
I understand that the Blu-Ray format is still on its ascendancy, but I was surprised to see that Mad Max hadn’t gotten released on the format as of yet. However, MGM has done a hell of a job bringing some shine back to this 1980 title. Beyond clearing up the video and audio, there have been a number of additional features included here. When one will likely be able to…

Even though these tracks span a time nearly fifteen years ago to the somewhat-present, the tracks at all times on “Masterpieces: 1991-2002” sound as fresh and as vital as if Mustard Plug just recorded them. The term “ska” is used by many individuals to really tie a band down to a specific (often-times Mighty Mighty Bosstones-like) sound, but Mustard Plug should really show anyone listening in that ska can be…
Where there seemed to be some sort of genre limitation to the other games in the ‘Mama’ franchise, Crafting Mama looks to provide players with a tremendous amount of different activities under the heading of Crafting. Where players may not be a fan of cooking (and all it comes with it), Crafting Mama keeps things fresh through the inclusion of mini-games and skill testing approximating the creation of birdhouses, miniature…

The band does not give much of an idea what they sound like from how this EP looks. It is covered in a plain white paper holder, and the cover of the CD is nothing more than two faces that put together look like the body of a violin. To say I have no clue what Musical Underground Theatre sound like is an understatement. With “Verse One”, individuals will be…

This is an all-star band if I ever heard one; Murder Disco X has members of Severed Head of State, Cluster Bomb Unit and Detestation. Of course, there have been a number of bands that have sucked it up royally that could be called “All-Star” (including acts like the Damn Yankees). However, there is no need to worry with Murder Disco X, as “Robots” starts off this disc with simple…

You would not expect this style of music when you hear that a band is named Murder By Death. Instead of being a crust or metal band, Murder By Death is an indie rock band that throws together a very vocal, Dylan-descendent style with strings and tribal drums. In fact, during the first track of “In Bocca Al Lupo” (“Boy Decide”), Murder By Death has a very Voltaire type of…

The funky style of Murdxa during “Lamb” is not going to win eir any fans. The style has been done a number of times, and while “Lamb” is a pop song, it does not break enough ground to make it into the hearts and minds of individuals. This happens a lot with aspiring pop stars; the individuals make pop songs but they do not imbue them with enough soul to…

Multiverse plays a very safe brand of rock that is more likely to be heard in coffee shops and frat houses than anywhere else. The style is an adult contemporary brand rock that is blended with an adequate amount of jazz and funky to create something that can be received equally well by all. The disc’s first track “Different Worlds” seems to portend the blend of styles, and while there…
Jookabox is touring the Western US this November with two new 7″, before recording a follow-up to the wildly excitable Dead Zone Boys LP. The two 7″, titled Import and Export, will be available for purchase on tour, then to the public in early December. They’ll continue to post photos, cryptic messages and trippy videos of their journey, diary style, on their web-zone http://jookabox.net. If you haven’t yet picked up…
