It’s strange how much different music can sound on a turntable opposed to on CD format. I received Blacklisted’s “…The Beat Goes On” on CD months ago and enjoyed it, but I wasn’t really blown away by the disc. I just wrote it off as typical hardcore that just happened to be on a great […]

That’s right. I finally turn 18 this Saturday. Leave a comment on this post with some kind words for me or something if you have a second. Thanks.

This Greek record label called Run Devil Run has sent me stuff before. Strange CDs in really oddly-sized digi-packs that won’t fit in any normal CD case holder. Not that I’m familiar with at least. Anyway, the previous records this label has sent me have all been really different. To be blunt, I didn’t enjoy […]

And more importantly, who names an album I Farm “So My Kids Won’t Have To”? As soon as I saw this album I thought it was a complete joke. Specifically the artwork. It looks like something someone made in Photoshop just because they had a few minutes to kill. Buildings and clouds in cartoon form? […]

I design the website for Reno, Nevada DIY punk label Spacement Records, so whenever they put out a new release (almost always on vinyl), they send it to me, and I gladly review it for them. This time around, Dog Assassin are releasing their second Spacement 7″ titled “Human Satisfaction”, and I must say that […]

Hardcore label Deathwish, Inc. has signed two new California bands. One is Life Long Tragedy, who I don’t know too much about, and the second is Final Fight, who I’ve seen live a few times because they’re from Los Angeles.
Now I think it’s a bit weird that Final Fight got signed to Deathwish. The band […]

This has nothing to do with what I usually write about, but I just finished the redesign for Spacement Records. Turned out very nice I think.

I used to be a huge AFI fan until about a year ago. I just got so tired of their attempts to be “dark” and I just couldn’t stand their style anymore, especially on Sing The Sorrow.
I just read on punknews.org that AFI’s upcoming album will be entitled Decemberunderground, which seems a bit random. Apparently […]

I am not a Boysetsfire fan. In fact, I hate the band at this point after having to sit through a couple of their previous releases. Before The Eulogy: Reissues, Odds and Ends, Rarities is a twenty-track record that compiles BSF’s b-sides and rare tracks from throughout their career as a band. This obviously means […]

Cursed are going to be releasing a new EP/7″ on Goodfellow Records this summer. The band will enter the studio this month to record a couple new songs and some covers for the EP. The 7″ is apparently going to be limited according to Lambgoat.
This is going to be a bit strange since Cursed usually […]
