Sasha used to tell me this hilarious story of how people she knew believed that Sublime and No Doubt invented ska. If you ask anyone on the street who the greatest musician/group from Jamaica, 63% will tell you Bob Marley, and the other 37% will state in complete disbelief “there are other musicians from Jamaica […]

Rejoice Less Than Jake fans! For they have returned to true form! Less Than Jake has always been one of my favorite bands, and you can imagine how heartbroken I was when they completely abandoned their ska roots since Borders and Boundaries. So you can imagine how stoked (yet still skeptical) I was when they […]

I’ll always have a soft spot for The Hope Conspiracy. Besides having one of the coolest band name ever (cue flood of hipsters telling me “But it’s not doubled! It should be ‘ Hope Conspiracy Hope Conspiracy’), they were the first modern hardcore band that I listened to. I was always a fan of old […]

Needless to say, I’m usually not a fan. With that being said, the new album out by Computerization completely blew me away. Computerization is compiled (oh that’s […]

In a pissed off mood? Need to just shut the world out for a few minutes? Do I have the music for you! Disfear’s “Live The Storm” is a blend of metal, crust, hardcore, and punk all rolled into one! Featuring the lead singer of legendary metal act “At The Gates”, Disfear hails from Sweden […]

The name of The Low Budget’s latest album (ooook, so it came out a while ago, but I know a bunch of you missed it… shame on you!) “Leave Us A Loan” is pretty much the story of my life right now. In between the clever puns lies a laid back punk album that sounds […]

“The Bouncing Souls ‘Self Titled’ is the worst album that the Souls ever released” seems to be the general consensus among fans. Even Greg the lead singer claimed in an interview once that the album seems unfinished (has a lot to be desired). I wholeheartedly disagree with these accusations, probably because I have such a […]
