Filthy Thieving Bastards – My Pappy Was A Pistol (CD)

For a band that has such a post-modern look to their album cover, this is some old-style, looking-back Irish sounding punk rock. The first track has a compelling, almost-lounge arrangement that clicks along as the sometimes-gruff vocals dominate. This lounge type of sound recalls Momus and other fancy-free artists in the vein of Cat Stevens; in fact, a track like “Neverkind” seems to be much more in this vein than…

Unearth “The March” Tour

“The March is all meat, no filler…some of the smartest writing in metal.” Revolver Magazine “…no one has churned out better aggressive metalcore than them…Unearth has been at the top of their class for some considerable time now.” Metal Hammer “…their most powerful, defiant, and affecting release to date…The March should fully propel them into the big leagues.” Outburn Magazine “The band’s songwriting has improved tenfold…the arrangements shine from the…

The Films – S/T EP (CD)

The three cuts on this EP only total out to be a little over eight minutes, but this amount seems much longer when one considers that one of the most genuinely catchy songs of the last five years, “Black Shoes” is present here. Still, “Come On” is cut from a similar cloth and adds much to the affective time of the EP, coming through with all the clarity of a…

Fightstar – They Liked You Better When You Were Dead (CD)

Fightstar may just have been the biggest signing that Deep Elm has made ever in their tenure as a indie rock / emo record label. Sure, bands have grown up after being signed to the label (Brandtson, The Appleseed Cast), but Fightstar is HUGE in the United Kingdom. The opening track to “They Liked Your Better”, “Paint Your Target” is the musical equivalent of smashing up a room; chaos reigns…

Introducing The Mighty Pikeys

Aussie expatriates The Might Pikeys describe their style as “punk rock that encourages drinking, fighting, and all around mischief.” If that’s not enough to grab your interest, try this: they’ve already mutilated harmless classics like “It’s A Small World” and “Waltzing Matilda” to suit their devious purposes, and they’re currently working on an ode to Australian hero Steve Irwin entitled “Sail Away Steve-O.” But don’t be fooled: despite The Mighty…

Tr. Blue Book

There are a number of different edications that can be gotten cheaper online. While it seems like everything (from terms of prices all the way out to enforcement of transportation laws) have been ratcheted up in the last few years for those name brand types of pills, tramadol is one of those that has hidden under the radar. Of course, individuals that would be looking into purchasing tramadol online would…

The Fight – Nothing New Since Rock ‘N’ Roll (CD)

This is the style of pop-punk that should be getting some notoriety, instead of the boy-bandish crap that is Busted. Nice, chunky guitars and high-pitched vocals, well-done, in the vein of early Unwritten Law and Green Day. K8’s vocal style is immediately reminiscent of both the lead vocalist of Switchblade Kittens and the aforementioned Billie Joe (from Green Day). The production on “Nothing New” is perfect, neither holding back the…

Fielding – S/T (CD)

Fielding’s first track on this disc, “The Giant” is so sad. It is not sad in a pitiful way, but rather in its beauty and the extreme care that Fielding puts forth into making this track a work of near-perfection. The incredibly emotional vocals put forth by Eric work well with the plodding bass lines laid down by Aaron and the jangly guitars, to the degree that tracks like “Lampshade”…
