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 […]

Transplants: Transplants Label: Hellcat Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 Just when you thought you’d seen it all… Dang, even the venerable Tim Armstrong wants to cash in on frat-rap. This is another Rancid flavored project that Armstrong started after messing around with some computers and popular culture. Essentially, Armstrong wrote, played, programmed everything. Then […]

Electric Six: Fire Label: Beggars XL Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 2003 Imagine a crazy world where Kiss made disco songs… Oh wait, that already happened in this dimension. Imagine if they were intentionally funny instead of embarrassing like “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” is. The Electric Six are a gang of rockin’ dudes […]

Gameface: Four to Go Label: Doghouse Records Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 2003 New label for this bands’ 6th release (that’s 4 if you are counting.) These guys have been around since 1991, and that hasn’t stopped them from learning how to crank out generic punk influenced schlock that the industry is now calling post-hardcore. […]

The Exit: New Beat Label: Some Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 I had high hopes for this record. It has interesting packaging and a good band name and title. Plus the guys on the cover look snotty and vaguely reminiscent of The Living End. My first reaction when it became time to write the […]

Ex Models: Zoo Psychology Label: FrenchKiss Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 This CD arrived unsolicited and without explanation. The cover alternately bored and annoyed me, but hey, I’ll take the time to listen to anything that someone sends me. The first 30 seconds of “Fuck to the Music” had me intrigued, and although it […]
