The Simpletones: I Have A Date Label: Refocre / Posh Boy Release Date: 2003 Recording Date: 1979- Review Date: 2003 The Simpletones, you ask? How did a bunch of snotty teenagers come up with the perfect name for the perfect low-fi punk/pop band? Sound like yet another one of the current crop of scene darlings […]

The Weirdos Weird World Volume 2: We Got the Neutron Bomb Label: Frontier Release Date: 2003 Recording Date: 1977-1989 Review Date: 2003 You gotta love it when someone compiles the output of some long forgotten and underrated band and has the unbridled optimism to put “Volume One” on the first release with nothing but good […]

Love And Rockets: Sorted! Best of Love And Rockets Label: Beggars Release Date: 2003 Recording Date: 1985-1998 Review Date: 2003 Beggars banquet has been steadily reissuing the Love and rockets catalog, so it was only a matter of time before we saw a greatest hits compilation. I can’t recommend this anemic cd to anyone other […]

The Triggers: Shoot your Mouth Off Label: Dirtnap Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 2003 The Triggers are fresh off the boat… A boat that docked in 1980 and was full of the third generation of punk bands from England. An easy comparison would be to Vice Squad, or at least it would be if I […]

Hockey Night: Rad Zapping Label: Img Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 Rad Zapping looks like some freaky Atari age retro electro arty bomb waiting to go off. The disc starts with some super mellow boring synth for about a minute until a sampled voice come on and screams “enough of this shit!” followed by […]

Death on Wednesday: Songs to ______ to Label: SideCho Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 2003 Southern California has a history of punk bands dabbling in goth/romantic tradition, which is what you might thiink you are getting into when you see the cover of this CD coupled with the band name and photos.

Quuarashi: Jinx Label: Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 These guys are from Iceland and were in punk bands and now they make very American metal rap. 15 seconds into the lead off track and you get the first “Sucka MCs” reference. It’s all very, very slick and mostly, utterly forgettable. Where these guys get […]

Fabulous Disaster: Panty Raid Label: Pink and Black Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 This is what happens when you go to punk rock shows with a handdful of bands and a fistful of beer and vicodin. Sure you have a blast, but you end up buying stuff from bands because you get all misty […]

The Libertines: Up The Bracket Label: Rough Trade Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 Not to be confused with west coast punkers Libertine, The Libertines are essentially a more raucous and thoroughly British version of the Strokes. Throw in a little Hootenanny too. I don’t know what “Up the bracket” means, but I’m sure it’s […]

The Dillinger Escape Plan with Mike Patton: Irony is a Dead Scene Label: Epitaph Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 Is “with Mike Patton” is something to brag about? You can probably guess where this review is headed, especially if you think Faith No More lost it’s greatness when it replaced original front man Chuck […]
