Nekromantix: Dead Girls Don’t Cry Label: Hellcat Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 2004 It’s return of the psychobilly band that croons instead of just yelling. Dead Girls Don’t Cry is the follow up to the very excellent Return of the Loving Dead. The songs were written in a very short period of time in the […]

The Vice Dolls: Die Trying Label: Crosscheck Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 2004 Straight outta Danville Illinois. which is about as middle America as it can get.

Boys: The Boys Label: Captain Oi! Release Date: 2001 Recording Date: 1977 Review Date: 2004 This is a very good rerelease of a previously impossible to find Boys lp on CD.

Street Dogs: Savin Hill Label: Crosscheck Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 2004 Mike McColgan, the original singer from the Dropkick Murphy’s reunites with DM’s drummer Jeff Erna and some other guys to form Savin Hill. Full of blatant localism (Boston, not JFA) and working class themes bordering on and crossing over into clichés. Driving, heartfelt […]

The Network: Money Money 2020 Label: Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 2004 It’s fun to be young, rich, and have a lot of time on your hands. Sell a shitload of records and you too can start your own record label, meet your heroes, jam with them, crank out a cd and release it. The […]

The Damned: Grave Disorder Label: Nitro Release Date: 2001 Recording Date: 1968-1974 Review Date: 2004 The Offspring may have a history of uninspired cover versions of great songs like the Didjits “Killboy Powerhead” and the Damned’s “Smash it Up’” but at least Dexter Holland had the good sense to sign up the Damned to his […]

Naz Nomad & the Nightmares: Give Daddy the Knife Cindy Label: Dionysus Records Re-Release Date: 2004 Original Release Date: 1984 Review Date: 4/18/05 From the label that collects stuff that might otherwise slip through the cracks, I give you this re-release of the Damned posing as a 60’s era garage/psychedelic band. Although some may say […]

Groovie Ghoulies: Go! Stories Label: Stardumb Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 These guys have been at it for several years now, and at this point they have it down to a science. For some bands that could be the kiss of death and the start of mediocrity. Not so with the Groovie Ghoulies. Go! […]

Buzzcocks: Buzzcocks Label: Merge Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 2003 The Buzzcocks have just released their 7th studio album. It’s on Merge Records out of North Carolina, which I’d never heard of before, but Randy assures me it’s a pretty well known indy label. I’m a Buzzcocks fanatic, I’ll admit. They were the first band […]
