A bunch of random noise isn’t music


Okay, so I don’t know who Kites is exactly. The press sheet that came with this 3″ disc says that it’s just some guy who plays all of his own instruments. I don’t really care though, because all I hear is a bunch of noise with no vocals at all. I myself enjoy ambient music […]

More bland alt-rock / wannabe punk


I don’t know who the hell By All Means Necessary are because they didn’t send me much info along with their CD, but their self-released 5-song EP just sucks. A lot. It’s just really boring alternative rock, although the members seem to think they are punk or something because they put some anarchy signs on […]

Dear Whoever… over 1000 copies sold?


I don’t know who this Dear Whoever band is, but according to the press sheet that came with their EP, “Sound The Trumpet,” they sold over 1000 copies of this EP on their own before it was put out by Broken Line Records (whoever the hell that is). So I figured I had gotten something […]

KOI Split Series kicks off


I recently got another release from the growing punk/hardcore/indie/whatever label KOI Records. This time I found the first edition of KOI’s Split Series. The label is almost completely based around vinyl, only releasing one CD so far and about 5 vinyl records. This 7″ is a split between Thirty3 and Los Dryheavers.
I think Los […]

Greek music still baffles me


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 […]

Who names a band “I Farm”?


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? […]

More anarcho punk rock from Reno


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 […]

Boysetsfire disappoint once again


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 […]

An early birthday present


So I turn 18 at the end of this month, and a co-worker of mine wanted to know what I wanted for my birthday. I told her to get me the Refused DVD since that is coming out in the US just a few days before my big day. I am a Refused fanatic, so […]
