The Mae Shi – Lock the Skull, Load the Gun / 2006 5RC / http://www.mae-shi.com / http://www.5rc.com / The Mae Shi are a very good act. I was able to go and get their split with Rapider than Horsepower, and to get something that is much more active and colorful out of the band is really a treat. In a sense, what The Mae Shi do during “Lock the Skull,…

Avail – 4 AM This was released in 1996, and is on Lookout Records #128. This Is a chameleon band, with roots in Indy, Pop Punk, Metal, Rock and Hardcore.The songs are tightly written and played which gives this album a much more cohesive sound. Their are some really stupid parts to this album, like a minute long part of a guy singing acapella, which leads into a decent song…
Tickets, whether they are Concert Tickets or Sports Tickets, are increasingly hard to find at a cheap price. For example, the tickets for the Foo Fighters tour across the United Kingdom are flying off the shelves, and it is the duty of a website like Viagogo.co.uk to provide tickets at an affordable price. Tickets are available for the Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle, and London dates of the tour, among others. It…
Autopsy – Severed Survival / Retribution for the Dead This tape was released in 1989, and re-released in 1993 by Noise Records, and the album has 14 songs. The tape was actually two albums fit together so that they are now on one tape. This band sounds like an amalgamation of Slayer and Cannibal Corpse. This has pretty good guitars, with above average solos. The drummer is also good, but…

Lucero – Dreaming In America / 2005 Eastwest / 72 Minutes / http://www.luceromusic.com / http://www.eastwestrock.com / The first thing that individuals get to see about Lucero is that they are extraordinarily lucid for the style of music that they create. The creators of such amazing tracks like “That Much Further West†are shown by Aaron Goldman to be human, at times pitiable (the fact that they do not look good…

Assmen – Enema Nation 11 songs released in 99 on dirty records. the lyrics are vile, and that is why the album is so awesome. you can hear the bass on the album, but they really kickass in the lyrics and guitar section. This album is all about sex, beer, and it is an awesome un-pc album. The Assmen cover “Happy together” and their version is a lot better then…
Another Nothing-New Breed This an 8 song full length put out on Chord records, an indie label that is in Philly. They can be emailed at toodhype@aol.com . This album begins out as a screaming new hardcore song with the unoriginal title of #&@? Jam, then goes into Transpose, which has the same style of guitars but adds choruses in which they sing normally. “Still the Same” has hardcore pseudo…

Landmarq – Turbulence: Live In Poland / 2006 MVD / http://www.mvdb2b.com / Throughout the years, I’ve played with a little progressive metal but I’ve never really gotten into progressive rock. Landmarq is an act that makes me wish that I had checked out some of those acts earlier; this DVD captures their performance in Katowice, Poland from 2005. Landmarq’s talent is at such a high level that even when they…

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 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 SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing…

Adam West-13 De Luxe This is 1999 Fandango, with 13 songs . Fandango records is the label the Adam West was on, which they created themselves. The music is Rock, with definite Misfits influences (They have covered Misfits songs on 7 inch.). The songs have a chunky, old sounding guitar riffs. AW is really hard to describe expect for sounding like Misfits meets Monster Magnet. Song 13 is the longest…
