Everybody and their mom has a top 10 music releases for 2009. I’ve read a bunch of lists, and it seems like everybody really dug Paramore, Tegan and Sarah, and Matt and Kim. In the interest of music that doesn’t happen to be on Pitchfork’s list, here’s my top 10 for 2009. 10. Strike Anywhere […]

Fucking Brooklyn. The place itself is alright, and in the past there has been some solid bands from there (Gorilla Biscuits, World Inferno Friendship Society) but I kind of hate the pretentious indie garbage that comes from that hipster breeding cess pool as of late. Luckily, The Reveling saves face for the borough, and their […]

Holy shit, what just happened? With 14 songs in 10 minutes, even the Circle Jerks would be proud of Italy’s punk/hardcore/thrash band LxExAxRxNx. If this is hardcore in Italy, then they must be doing something right. While LxExAxRxNx may be from Italy, but they sing in English, and completely shred. There’s no frills here, just […]

Well guys, it has been a crazy week, but it’s finally Christmas eve (although technically, I’m not counting it until I get out of work). I know the posts have been kind of slow this week, but once I get back, there will be some sweet new reviews up and also the required top 10 […]

Last night I had a huge debate with myself to decide if I should go see The Slackers at Philly’s Theater of Living Arts (many feelings were hurt during this debate). On the downside, the show was kind of expensive ($18) since it was at the Live Nation owned TLA and my car was buried […]

Deny it all you want, Christmas is in the air and just around the corner. While everyone else turning on their radios to hear 45749057423 versions of the same damn 5 Christmas songs, you’ll be the hit of your party with these underplayed punk rock tunes. Atom and His Package – What WE do On […]

All I want is world peace, or a piece of the world (Name that quote for 500 nerd points!). Back in October, Star Fucking Hipsters released their newest album “Never Rest In Peace” on Alternative Tentacles, and I got to say, I’ve been listening to it a hell of a lot lately. You know the […]

Yeah I know, posts have been a bit scarce this week due to extreme busyness such as the holidays, fucking ceilings crashing down in apartments, blah blah blah. Anyways, sometimes you need some ridiculously fast and heavy music to get you through the dreary northeast winter (dudes/dudettes who live on the south/west coast… you have […]

San Fransisco’s Fat Wreck Chords is pretty much a (punk) household name. Fat Mike of NOFX’s label helped change the relationship between bands and labels by offering one record deals, allowing a band to move on from the label after an album without any bullshit contract obligations and has been operating for almost 20 years […]

Jesus Chirst on a pogo stick! Municipal Waste has been one of my favorite bands for quite some time now, but for some reason, every time they come around, I can’t make the show. So needless to say, I was stoked out of my mind for this show. Only problem? I got home from work, […]
