Holy. Fucking. Shit. Sista Sekunden is the best thing to come from Sweden since cheap furniture and those fucking delicious fish. Their live show was one of the craziest I’ve seen all year, and I knew I’d have to check out some of their recorded stuff, so I picked up ” Skyll Inte På Oss”, […]

On Sunday, against my better judgment (I wasn’t feeling well, and wound up running a fever), I headed out to The Barbary to go see Minneapolis punk rockers, Off With Their Heads. I got there late, but the show was also running about an hour late as well, so I made it right in the […]

Friday was a good, good night. After seeing Teenage Bottlerocket the night before, I headed out to the First Unitarian Church mostly to see first band Lighten Up, but also to see Mischief Brew. I met up with some friends of mine there, and before we knew it, Lighten Up took the stage. Lighten Up:The […]

Ahhh yes, it’s the weekend of non-stop shows. I got my “show extravaganza” started last night at Philly’s Barbary with Higher Giant, Cobra Skulls, and Teenage Bottlerocket. One hell of a good start to an onslaught of moshing. Higher GiantFirst up was New York’s Higher Giant. Sometimes referred to “Grey Area version 2”, Higher Giant […]

Philadelphia produces the quirkiest punk rock: we’ve got Atom and His Package, The Dead Milkmen, and The Low Budgets. Self proclaimed value rockers, The Low Budgets features Joe and current bassist Dan from the Dead Milkmen. Their off-beat humor begins immediately on their 2005 release “Aim Low, Get High” with their government brainwashed the masses […]

Denver’s Colorado’s Espirit De Corps debut EP “Under Constant Influence” is chock full of post-hardcore goodness (something you won’t hear me say very often). With 5 songs averaging just around 14 minutes, the music sort of reminds me of La Dispute’s and HORSE the Band’s illegitimate child. In my opinion, Under Constant Influence doesn’t really […]

Fredericksburg, VA… I fucking miss you. I headed down to the ole’ college hometown to celebrate the 3rd homecoming since I’ve graduated (class 07′ mofo), and since we don’t have a football team, it’s pretty much a good excuse to go and party with some friends. The weather abso-positively sucked. Raining, cold, and all around […]

mc chris? You mean this nerdy mofo is legit? Damn fucking straight he is. As nerdy as it may be, mc chris is my favorite rapper, and he’s back with his latest EP “Part Six Part Two”. Just like the previous installment”Part Six Part One”, the album features four new songs and three new skits. […]

About a month ago, I posted the news that one of my favorite bands The Steal decided to break up. By far my favorite band to ever hail out of the UK, The Steal also decided to post their entire discography for download. For people who’ve never heard of them, I highly recommend starting out […]

Holy crap! Those two words can pretty much describe my reaction on the first (and twentieth) time I’ve listened to Aneurysm Rats latest release “Dying to Live”. Just one look at the cover and you know you’re in for a no bullshit ride. Aneurysm Rats dwell in Philly, and it definitely shows through their music. […]
