1999 on sour records, with 12 songs. 4 piece hc band from Dunkirk NY. Extremely cool audible bass with super fast songs that are fucking perfect to mosh to. all the pieces sound great together with excellent guitars and bass. The drums aren’t half bad either. I haven’t heard something this fast being so good in a long time. These guys kick so much ass its not funny. WNY has…
This band is no longer. In fact, it was no longer in 1992. This band was around for at least 6 years, and they were a Irish Punk Band. But when i say punk, i don’t mean the music. These guys sounded like thrash metal. They are really hard, and as per usual metal or punk bands, their songs don’t really last that long. In fact on a CD of…
This is a tape that was self published and self produced. The guitar lines are above average but they still sound typical of most Rock Bands. The guitarist can put out some decent lines, but he does not do this often. The vocals are whiney, and the drums are pretty bland.The bass work is decent, but it is nothing to write home about. The drummer sounds like he has no…
Really boring alt Canadian rock by this 5 piece band in 1994. While the music is actually pretty decent, the whole sound is dated, but Pax Arcana aren’t to blame- they released this when all alt rock was popular. “Pears” is a rocking song that has a definite Pink Floyd sound. “Walk” goes from whiny indy rock to a hard rock sound. “Mesmerized” goes from a good song to crape.…
This is a 5 song self released tape from 1999. There is a CD release party at the Cage (21 and over) July 3rd, but another show will be played at Cool and Phat on June 25th, with Abacus for a $2 cover charge. Pawns current line up has vbeen around for nearly five years now, and they show no signs of slowing down. In “Good Friday” they draw influences…
1995 on Super Mono Records, with 9 songs, and its another horrible piece of Canadian Rock. The album sounds like ba recorded and distorted 60s pop down to the cheesy vocals and organ. This is also a 5 piece band. The distorted guitar riffs are really annoying. However, “Who Cares” is an groovy song with cool vocals and no distortion, but good audible bass.”Stories about stupid people” makes me want…
This was released in 1999 on Vegas Records, and it has 14 songs. Cost to me: Free. Pain is an odd sounding band: combining Nerd Rock, Rock, and Ska to make a very catchy sound. THe vocalist sounds like the guys from They Might Be Giants, various new wave singers, and 70’s rock singers. Pain sounds like a major label band, with an extremely rich and well produced sound. It’s…
This is on NG records, and it has 10 songs. O9MM is a rock/rap metal band with a black lead singer. This is a 3 piece band with Chaka Malik on Vocals, Taylor Mcham on Guitars and Bass and Matthew Cross on Drums.The rap on this album isn’t bad because it is of the “Old Skewl”, the lyrics are well written and the guitars are well placed. They change tempos…
This was released in 1999 on Will Records, 8 songs, and this band is a 5 piece based in Seattle.The inside cover has a really cool looking naked punk chick in it. The band vocalist has a 80s glam sound , which is most closely related to the black crowes.The guitars are really good sounding, and the riffs are top notch.The guitarist can pull off some pretty good solos as…
Mayhem Records put this album out in 1996 or 1997. It has 10 songs, and there is no info about the band in here at all. My Dying bride is a black metal band, but owe much more to goth music then bands like paradise lost or cradle of filth. They are musically more diverse then Cradle of Filth, even adding a violin to some songs .My Dying Bride can…
MxPx – On the Cover I don’t usually do reviews of pop-punk bands, but this is an indy release, so i think that it should be reviewed. This was released in 1995 on Tooth and Nail records, and it has 8 songs. These covers range from Bryan Adams, Buddy Holly, A-HA, and The Altar Boys. The cover of Summer of 69 is decent, only when compared to the original, because…
This is the first album out on Astarte Luna records and it is a 29 minute CD that info can be received about at Mutual Hate Society, 43422 West Oaks Dr #253, Novi MI 48377. This songs on this album are all composed and played by Tracy Peters. This is a wonderous album with Moors and Black tape for a blue Girl sounding compositions. It sounds like a Medieval album,…
As with Johnson,i seen mr.tORNaDo heAd live at a concert and proceeded to pick up Stays Crunchy in Milk! and Tastes Like Chicken.The only bad think about either of the tapes is the recording on the copy I got of Tastes like Chicken.Its kinda hard to hear,but you still can.My favorite song by these guys is Norman the rock and roll pony,but i like a all of their songs.For Stays…
This album was made by a band members of emperor, one of the most internationally famous black metal bands. Their albums can be found on Century Black, which is a imprint of Century Media records. FØdt til Ã… herske is on Dark Dungeon Music, and it consists of two songs. The original pressing of the album was on Malicious Records. The whole album is a great work of slow instrumental…
Lower East Side Stitches / Murphy’s Law Split 7 inch (3000 Print) Red Vinyl (NG Records) This vinyl was made because of Der Fuhrer’s Guiliani’s views on the police brutality that recently occurred in NYC. The LES Stiches song on this album is “NYC is dead”, and the Murphy’s law song on this was “Quality of Life”. “NYC is Dead” is on the Stitches newest album, Staja98LES ,which a review…
14 songs on Pervertidora records ,1999. Wow i dont think i have ever heard an album quite like this, because it is all orchestral compositions, but twisted, and is made into a etheral soundtrack to zone out to, very demented like. This is what experimental and industrial music should sound like, Not bull shit like NIN or FLA. MUB definitely takes from Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, and Throbbing Gristle. This is…
This was released in 1987 on Megaforce records, and this has 23 songs. MOD, which stands for Masters of Destruction, sounds like DRI mixed with old (read:good) Exodus. The guitars are fast, which mostly brutal riffs on the low end of the E and A strings. The leas singer Bill Milano, half talks/screams his way through each songs. This screaming limits each of the songs to only 1 or 2…
This 5 song EP was released on Broken Rekids. I paid $2 for this slab of plastic. Me First is another band with the older punk/rock feel, sounding like The Donnas, the Runaways, and Joan Jett. They have very classical (read:70’s) guitar riffs, and a shitload of distortion. Mr First is also another all female punk band. Me First’s vocals are rough and deep, which just adds to the 70’s…
This is great NYC old style punk, plain and simple. Amazingly good songs, and they are not straight edgers. That is good. A guy has a mohawk. They thank Joey Ramone. This is out on NG records, which is a pretty cool as fuck label. This amazing work of an album gets a 9 out of 10. Good Work guys, just stay together. The guys in the band have cool…
This tape is 36 minutes long, and it is from Jevan Records, which probably is a defunct label which was out of Parma Heights Ohio. This is electronic gothic music, which mixes depressed Depeche Mode with some Cure, and it also has Female and Male vocals. Lestat uses old clips between songs, which is a good, albeit overused median between songs. These guys have slow Cure like guitars, with samplers…
