Life’s busy man. It’s been months since I’ve had a chance to post a proper* review of an album, and I’ve been sitting on Peace In Our Time for a little bit now. Released at the end of April, Good Riddance is back with their 8th full length, and their first one in nine years. […]
The Offspring – Self Titled (For fans of Bad Religion, NOFX, TSOL)
Chances are if you know The Offspring, you’re used to their signature “radio hit” sound, whether the grungier “Self Esteem” from their Smash days or the poppier sounds of “Why Don’t You Get A Job”. But before their commercial success, The Offspring released their debut Self Titled which was one hell of a punk album. […]
Dangers – Five O’Clock Shadows At The Edge Of The Western World (for fans of American Nightmare, Ceremony, Punch)
“What if this was the best day of your life?” Southern California’s hardcore Dangers is back with Five O’Clock Shadows At The Edge Of The Western World, a six song EP that is some of their most introspective work yet. The EP starts off with the same pissed off aggression we’ve seen from Dangers with […]
NOFX – Ribbed (For fans of Rancid, Green Day, Pennywise)
Love them or hate them (and quite frankly I don’t think they really give a shit either way), NOFX has been at it for a long time. While they still crank out new music, which is definitely worth your time by the way… they are most famous for their now trademark SO-Cal skate punk sound […]
Guttermouth – 4 New Songs (For fans of NOFX, Screeching Weasel, The Queers)
I’m going to be straight up with you, I still fucking love Guttermouth. I know the majority of people stopped listening to them back when they were still in high school, but fuck that… their music is fun and they play some damn good skate punk. While I wasn’t a huge fan of their 2006 […]
Classics Of Love – Self Titled (For fans of Common Rider, Operation Ivy, Rancid)
If you listen to ska at all, you know who Jesse Michaels is, and if not you probably at least have heard of his most famous project Operation Ivy, the quintessential ska-punk band. Perhaps you’re a fan and have listened to his other band Common Rider (have I dropped enough names for you yet?) After […]
Ghostlimb – Confluence (For fans of DANGERS, Graf Orlock, Ceremony)
As anyone who has seen my top 10 list of 2012 would know, I have recently discovered Ghostlimb and they have easily become one of my most listened to bands (and the only show I’ve been to so far in 2013). Their latest album Confluence placed 5th in my personal favorites released last year, and […]
NOFX – Self Entitled (For fans of Rancid, Bad Religion, Lagwagon)
NOFX have been playing punk rock before many of you were even just a wee zygote, and their latest Self Entitled marks their 12th studio album. I know what a lot of you are thinking: “I bet it sounds exactly like every other album by them” and you would be absolutely right… however Self Entitled […]
Ghostlimb – Bearing And Distance (For fans of Dangers, Graf Orlock, Ceremony)
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 […]
Chain Of Strength – The One Thing That Still Hold True (for fans of Gorilla Biscuits, Bane, Youth Of Today)
This past Thursday, I learned that Southern Cali late 80s hardcore act Chain of Strength played a free show up in New York City. I was already going to Texas Is The Reason’s reunion show, so I wasn’t going to be able to catch them, but I have been on a serious Chain Of Strength […]
