Oxymoron – West World (For fans of The Casualties, The Unseen, The Virus)

November 30, 2012 No Comments

When most people think of street punk bands, the first ones that usually come to mind are The Casualties, The Unseen, and The Exploited.  One band that often gets overlooked here in the states is a German band called Oxymoron, even though all their lyrics are in English.  It’s a shame, because they were one […]

The Ramones – Mondo Bizarro (For fans of The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Misfits)

November 25, 2012 No Comments

If you like punk rock, you fucking know The Ramones… shit, everybody knows who The Ramones are.  Chances are you probably have their greatest hits album Mania and may have their original Self Titled album as well (and if you don’t, go get it. It’s one of the most influential and greatest albums in punk […]

Rage Brigade – F.I.G.H.T.M.U.S.I.C (For fans of Bane, Sick Of It All, With Honor)

November 21, 2012 No Comments

Rage Brigade’s F.I.G.H.T.M.U.S.I.C has been in my “shit to review” queue for quite some time now (no seriously, I had a playlist called that, and it goes on for days.)  I don’t know why I was holding out so long before posting the review, but better late than never.  These Ontario, Canadian dudes play heavy, […]

Cobra Lung (For fans of Negative Approach, Paint it Black, Coke Bust)

November 20, 2012 No Comments

I get a little nostalgic every time I listen to Cobra Lung.  Sure, it may have only been two years ago, but listening to the tongue in cheek straight edge hardcore band makes me miss the Terrordome and other Philly basement shows, and they were easily one of the most fun local bands around… more […]

The Misfits – Walk Among Us (For fans of The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks)

November 15, 2012 No Comments

Around Halloween I mentioned that I have been on a serious Misfits kick as of late, and that still hasn’t settled down yet.  I’m sure all you punkers know who The Misfits are (if you don’t, they were a punk band from NJ formed in the 70s who mixed catchy aggressive melodies with B-rated horror […]

The Police – Outlandos d’Amour (For fans of The Clash, Billy Idol, Sex Pistols)

November 13, 2012 No Comments

Ok, so it would be just a little bit of a stretch to consider The Police a punk band, and I won’t be the one to make that claim.  However I will say that their first album Outlandos d’Amour was definitely mostly influenced by punk and reggae, and many punk fans find themselves digging the […]

La Armada – Self Titled (For fans Of Fucked Up, Cut The Shit, Punch)

November 12, 2012 No Comments

I’m not going to lie, when I first heard La Armada’s Self Titled I pretty much forgot about it.   I remember putting it on, thinking “oh, this is kind of cool” and then immediately forgot about it. I must have not been in the right mood when I first heard it because I checked […]

Limp Wrist – Self Titled LP (For fans of Ceremony, Infest, Punch)

November 8, 2012 No Comments

There are some people who can’t bring themselves to listen to queercore, for whatever stupid fucking homophobic reason they may have.  That’s a shame, because those people are missing out on some of the most brutal hardcore around. I’ve been listening to a lot of Limp Wrist lately, and their Self Titled full length has […]

Ghostlimb – Bearing And Distance (For fans of Dangers, Graf Orlock, Ceremony)

November 4, 2012 No Comments

Sometimes you listen to an album that just takes your face, and bashes it into a brick wall… in the (most loving way possible of course).  The first time I listened to Ghostlimb’s Bearing and Distance, I was completely blown away by their thrashy/grindy as fuck, yet melodic hardcore. On Bearing and Distance Ghostlimb brings […]
