Matchbook Romance : Stories and Alibis Label: Epitaph Release Date: 9/23/2003 Review Date: 3/7/05 Matchbook Romance is made up of some young and talented musicians that are among the generations of kids who have come of age with the new so-called radio friendly punk on the airwaves. These guys certainly owe a bit to the […]

The Briefs : Sex Objects Label: BYO Records Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 12/20/04 Breaking the string of record industry puns for titles, Sex Objects, the third full length Briefs release was rumored to be slated for a major label.

Operation S: Operation S Label: Broken Rekids Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 12/16/04 If you are looking for some fresh new wave sounds to add life to some tired mixes, check out Operation S.

Frontside Five: No Pegs Label: (self released) Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 10/14/04 I have to tell you that I was skeptical of this release before I even got a chance to listen to it. The first thing I thought of was that it was no longer 1984, so the idea of skate rock seemed […]

Descendents: Cool To Be You Label: Epitaph Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 2004 Another fine release from the Descendents, part 2. Not as good as Everything Sucks, but a solid effort. Nothing With You, and Dog and Pony Show are like classic Descendents songs. A lot of misfit in society and girl trouble vibes are […]
