Alright, so I’m going to see Mastodon, Converge, and The Bronx on September 29th. I’m going for Converge, but I heard the new Mastodon on MySpace recently and was blown away. I decided I would wait until the show to buy the new Mastodon record, “Blood Mountain.” Well, I couldn’t really wait that long.
I bought […]

About a month or two ago, I saw a film titled A Scanner Darkly. The film was based on a science fiction novel by the same name, written by a 20th century author named Philip K. Dick. Now, I have never read the book, but I didn’t enjoy the film, so I don’t plan on […]

I don’t like this band just because of the fact that they rip off Queen on track four, titled “Parody At The Masquerade.” The guitar sounds exactly like a Queen song whose title I cannot remember at the moment, and it’s pissing me off a lot because We Are The Fury keep repeating this guitar […]

Holy shit. When I first checked out the cover art on this CD I thought I was in for something really horrible. It just didn’t appeal to my eyes I guess, and that made Intronaut’s debut EP, Null, look like something I wouldn’t really care for. But you can’t judge a book by its cover, […]

…and it’s called shutting the fuck up. Job for a Cowboy have to be the worst death metal band I’ve ever heard. The constant growls just get on my nerves so much that I can’t enjoy the songs at all. The overuse of the double bass pedal is another annoyance, and believe me, there’s a […]

Good Clean Fun… how did this band get signed? No, how did this band get signed to a huge label like Equal Vision? They’re just a fucking joke. I can’t imagine anyone listening to “Between Christian Rock And a Hard Place” for enjoyment. It’s kind of funny the first time, but after that it’s just […]

I received Trapdoor Fucking Exit’s CD, “Crooked Life / Straight World”, from No Idea Records quite a while ago, but I’ve been lazy so I haven’t gotten around to reviewing the album until now. The record bored me at first, but just recently caught my attention and got me a bit hooked, and I just […]

I was introduced to Genghis Tron through a friend a little while ago. That’s all I’m going to say about that. Then all of a sudden I got the band’s new full length, “Dead Mountain Mouth,” in the mail. Strange coincidence. I read up a little bit about the album and discovered that Kurt Ballou […]

I first heard The Hope Conspiracy a few years ago through a friend and was blown away by the raw energy and anger that the band portrays with their music. But, it seemed like I had developed a taste for the band too late. Hope Con had stopped playing for a couple years or so, […]

So this band Bricks For Shoulders is a two-piece, which kind of confused me because I thought I was listening to at least a 4-piece hardcore lineup. To be honest, this record just doesn’t do it for me. The band has a message that I think is great, but music-wise they could improve a lot. […]
