Vitro – S/T Sampler [ADB]

This shit is plain bad. I don’t think i have heard this level of crap for a long time. This sampler was produced by once great Danzig and Slayer producer, Rick Rubin, but it seems like as Rick has grown older his taste in music has degraded. This 2 song tape sounds like a bunch of losers trying to emulate psuedo-industrial moron Trent Reznor`s band, Nine Inch Nails. My advise…

Vinnie! – Used to be Me, Used to Believe [ADB]

This album was created by Jenrazor records, in 1996, and Rodney Riffle may be reached at [email protected], or they may be written to at 181 Nottingham Ct, Westerville OH, 43081. This is a cool Indy rock band with elements of quite a few genres, life Surf Rock, Punk, and Folk. This has odd lyrics intermeshed perfectly with the music that is created by this trio. This band eventually became Fifty-Fifty,…

Viciousphere – Terror Rising [ADB]

Now a huge band playing on Loud. Viciousphere was once a small band that kicked ass-11 songs in 1995. Really good metal with all sorts of influences, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera and Alice Cooper. all of the great parts of a band are included here, with fast noticeable bass, fast clear, guitars and great vocals. this albums is depressing because the newest single by VS sounds like White Zombie. The…

Vic Goddard – Long Term Side Effect [ADB]

This was release in 99 on Tugboat Records, and it has 15 songs. It cost me nothing. Vic Godard has had a long history, from being in the Subway Sect, a British punk band, to now, as a Rock band as Vic Godard. The album is great, mixing reggae with rock with indy with soul. Vic is all over the musical map, drawing from an amazing amount of influences to…

SMP/Thine Eyes/Noxious Emotion/Fockewolf Tape [ADB]

Wow…4 similar bands that sound completely different from each other. SMP: This band is the best on the tape. They sound like Hate Dept. and fully pull off the gothic/ GOOD industrial sound. I really hope SMP gets a full length album out, so i can be in pure technical nirvana. Rating:8/10 Noxious Emotion: This band sounds like older Manson, NIN, KMFDM, and Aphex Twin. They are obviously influenced by…

V/A – Fictional: A Tribute To The Cure [ADB]

Fictonal- A tribute to the cure Finally, a good tribute album. 99% of the the tribute albums suck, but this one is really good. This is a Swedish Import that i got for $7 at NRM, and it was money well spent. Most of the covers are dance songs, and as a oddity, they have some substance behind them. I guess it is only Brit and American dance that is…

V/A – Death Metal is Dead [ADB]

This compilation CD is great, because punk bands cover 80`s metal songs,. These are real metal songs, like Metallica`s “Motorbreath” and “Running Free” by Iron Maiden. There are a few hair band covers, which serious add to an already strong album. This album has 19 tracks. I really recommend picking this album up since, this has a lot of amazingly good sounding bands on teeny tiny labels. Great original shit.…

V/A – Compilation Number One : Only When I Pee [ADB]

This tape is a great compilation of different Athens, Ohio bands. The only bad thing about it is that the tape was made in 1995, so most of the bands would no longer be around. This comp has almost every mainstream style of music, from punk to alternative to metal. Its a pretty good tape, and i only had to pay $3 for it in a music store down in…

Unwritten Law – Blue Room [ADB]

Nice guy punk rock with 5 members. This fits in perfectly with bands on Epitaph and Fat Wreck. They had some talent, but they sold their soul to Epic, was canned, and then signed to Interscope. None of the instruments stand out much because they are too clean sounding, so they mix together. Unwritten Law is not without its charm however, because the songs are not that bad sounding, but…

The Unknown – Still Unknown [ADB]

12 song CD on jiffi pop records. Nice guy pop punk in the vein of $parechange of JFT with a little better guitar playing then the former. The bass is audible with well written lines. The guitarist isn’t afraid to some good wailing riffs .The vocals sound like a few other pop punk bands , and the lyrics usually deal with lost love. Some of the songs are actually different…
