This CD is part of an insane series of releases on Righteous Records, an imprint of Cherry Red dedicated to aching country, forgotten soul music and other strange exotica. This is one of 20 (so far) releases that archive 45 single found in the vast record collection of the Lux Interior and Posion Ivy. This […]

Band: Born Against Release: The Rebel Sound of Shit and Failure Release Date: 2003 Label: Kill Rock Stars The Rebel Sound of Shit and Failure is a compilation Born Against singles, EP’s, and maybe even some demos from 1989-1993. Honestly, I can’t be bothered to listen to this CD filled with intense, mostly generic hardcore. […]

Band: The Beatings Release: The Heart, the Product, the Machine and the Asshole Release Date: 2003 Label: Midriff Records The Beatings are from Boston, and from what I read, were sort of indie darlings for a while. Well it’s over a decade after this was released and I’m cleaning out my basement, fulfilling all the […]

Band: Silent Fate Album: The Autumn Machine Label: none! Web Site: silent-fate.com Bubblegum Grindcore? I don’t get or like grindcore, but even if I did, I’m pretty sure I’d still hate this record. These guys are talented musicians and all, but they seem to be having a hard time picking a genre. Some of the […]

The Ruiners are your new favorite band. Sure this album is from 2003, and I’m just getting around to reviewing it now even though I bought it… so long ago. I accepted the Ruiners as my own personal savior after hearing the track Detroit Surfer Boy on the Resistance compilation. After listening to How’s That Grab Ya?, […]

Change Becomes Us sounds unmistakably like Wire. It also sounds like it could have came out in the early 80’s in terms of Wire’s catalog, not the general 80’s soundscape. Wire is famous for re-contextualizing and rerecording their catalog and performances, which they continue to do here. Colin Newman revealed the tracks all have their […]

At one point I was visiting a friend in Chicago. I (thought) I knew his address, and since I was arriving at 3:00 in the morning or so (must have been Greyhound) he said he would leave the door to his apartment unlocked when he went to bed. When I finally made to the building […]

I think the Sounds are confused. I know I am after listening to this record. First off, the cover looks like so much American Apparel softcore porn, which I guess is fine by itself but sort of out of context for the band. The first track makes it apparent that they are going to be […]

Shitkickers: Noon’s Moonlight Label: Big Bender Records Release Date: 2006 Review Date: 7/13/06 Gunfighter Ballads and Drinking Songs Label: Scary Records Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 7/13/06 It’s always a pleasant surprise when we get something out of the blue and it’s not another a generic Hot Topic band. The Shitkickers had a couple songs […]

The Johns hail from Southern California and they sound like it. Featuring members from Die Hunns, Fuel, The Adz, The Crowd, The Bleeders, The Grabbers, The Pushers & Chester Bennington’s Bucket Of Weenies. Most of those bands I’ve never heard of and since there isn’t nine guys in the Johns I assume they have been […]
