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 […]

Horrorpops: Hell Yeah! Label: Hellcat Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 2004 Another Nordic import, this is about the freshest package to come out of the punk/psychobilly scene in some time. It’s got sex, rock, punk, Phil Spector girl group pop, goth go-go dancers, and a stunning female on stand up bass and lead vocals. The […]

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. That part of the Illinois always needed something for the kids to believe in. Heck, there’s not even a college in that town, so they gotta be desperate. […]

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 […]

Reviews: Film & Video, Skate Videos

Whatever you think of the murdering scumbag, the movie that deals with his downfall is pretty good. It’s almost a better chronicle of the time period in general as opposed to a strict documentary on Gator. Good footage and interviews. Jason Jesse provides essential comic relief a la Wentzl Rummel in Dog Town. Some more […]
