Volumen: Science Faction Label: Wantage USA Release Date: 3/16/05 Review Date: 5/12/06 Sometimes I feel bad when people send me something (unsolicited) to review and I don’t like it. These guys are proof that you can put the new wave in a college town, but you can’t take the hippy out of Missoula, Montana. Er, […]

Ari Up: Dread More Dan Dead Label: Collision Release Date: 6/12/05 Review Date: 5/12/06 Let’s get the pedigree out of the way. Ari Up is a founding member of the legendary Slits and step-daughter to Johnny Rotten. She went MIA for a while, and now she’s back. So how do you go from being a […]

Reviews: Skateboarding, Trucks

So I got to check out some Fury Evo’s in the 850 size, which is 8.5″ I assume. I’ve heard people say these are basically a copy of Indy trucks. I can’t vouch for that, but. according to a an anonymous inside source that I will ultimately fail to protect, “Evo is the Fury ‘high’ […]

Killing Joke: Hosannas From The Basements of Hell Label: Cooking Vinyl Release Date: 4/03/06 Review Date: 4/19/06 Sure, I was raised Catholic and I’ve been to mass hundreds of times in my younger years, but I still had to look up “hosanna” to get the literal definition. To plagiarize paraphrase, it means “a shout of […]

Buzzcocks: Flat-Pack Philosophy Label: Cooking Vinyl Release Date: 3/07/06 Review Date: 4/10/06 The Buzzcocks are back with another record label and a solid release. Go back and listen to the earlier records and you’ll be surprised to learn that the average tempo of Flat-Pack Philosophy is faster than that of say, Love Bites. The previous […]

Tracy Thornton/Pan For Punks : Pan For Punks. A Steel Drum Tribute to the Ramones Label: Release Date: 11/5/05 Review Date: 4/4/06 Tribute albums blow, for the most part. The better the band, the worse the tribute… usually. The Ramones have no less than three tribute albums so far, maybe even more. There’s the very […]

Horrorpops: Bring It On! Label: Hellcat Release Date: 9/18/05 Review Date: 4/3/06 Somehow a couple years have passed and the Horrorpops have not become chart toppers. One can only assume that’s because they lost the lovely Mille as back up go-go dancer (nothing against Naomi!) This is the second release and suffers a little from […]

Various: This Is Skateboard Music Label: Diggler Release Date: 10/08/2006 Review Date: 4/3/06 The era of the variety-show type media crossover seems to be truly dead. You don’t see to many actors trying to sing. OK, there have been a few rapping basketball players, but be thankful that the heyday of the novelty song has […]

Rollin’ Through The Decades is a documentary on UK skateboarding from the 70’s through present days. The 2000’s have been the decade of the skateboard documentary mostly due to the influence of Fruit of the Vine and of course the ubiquitous Dogtown and the Z-boys. Since then we’ve seen documentaries on pool skating, Duane Peters, […]

Love it or hate it, there can be no denying the legacy of the Search for Animal Chin. Some kids thought it was the best, while a lot of crews thought the skating was rad but the storyline and acting stunk up your VCR like last year’s Rectors. A few years back Powell rush released […]
