Black Cross – Art Offensive

As alternative music continually reinvents itself for whatever reason it becomes evident to certain bands that the perceived constraints that genre can bring are simply there to be broken down. To shamelessly steal a phrase from Mr Barney Boom, ‘genre terrorism’ is rife nowadays as the most progressive of

The Weakerthans – Left and Leaving

Apparently there’s a fuss about The Weakerthans. It’s surprising really because when you look at the band, there’s not a scarf or mesh cap in sight. So how come there’s quite so much of a buzz going round if it’s not all about the fashioncore?

Friends Of Ed – / Drink Drivers Against Mothers Split

Yeah, I know this review is super late, especially because punknews.org.uk have been extolling the virtues of these bands for what seems like forever. For the record, this CD got lost when I moved into my new house so…that’s my excuse. I’m bloody glad I found it

Superjoint Ritual – A Lethal Dose Of American Hatred

OK, anyone know who Phil Anselmo is? For those who aren’t acquainted with US-style metal (faux-pas honey…) he’s the vocalist (I’m going to avoid the word singer for a while) with Pantera and Down, two hefty-as-fuck metal bands. He’s quite known for his propensity for side projects and

Brandtson – Death and Taxes

Having heard so many good things about Brandtson I finally decided to take the plunge and thanks to those kind folks at Deep Elm, ‘Death and Taxes’ landed on my doormat. Coming from Cleveland I was always told this four-piece were among the leading emo

4ft Fingers – From Hero To Zero

I know this has been out for a good year or so, but I was checking through the database and saw it hadn’t been reviewed so I thought I’d whack one off, then do a review (Arf arf). I recently saw and reviewed the ‘Fingers in Norwich where I

A.F.I. – Sing The Sorrow

I can, without a doubt, say that this is one of the strangest and toughest reviews I’ve had to do. AFI are a band that have always surprised me, even after becoming pretty familiar with them even before considering this release. On the one hand, this is the new

Support the ‘Down With Kerrang’ Campaign

Reading today’s copy of Kerrang I was disgusted to read their ‘review’ of the new No Comply record. Although their score of 3 was reasonable (but incorrect) smart-arse reviewer James Sherry has been shown up for a bit of a goon. Not only
