Reviews on Skate and Annoy

Reviews: Skateboarding, Wheels

There was a time when a new set of wheels had a certain aura about them. It might have something to do with the fact that there used to be a wider variety of styles and colors available. For the most part, wheels have continued to go the route of the popsicle stick, becoming more […]

The Bomb: Indecision Label: Thick Records Release Date: 2005 Review Date: 10/10/05 Pezzati is between a rock and a hard place. Any musical aspirations he has will continue to be compared to Naked Raygun by both fans and detractors. There will always be dicks like me who will write reviews saying his new stuff is […]

Reviews: Film & Video, Skate Videos

I had pretty much formulated my review already when Mark sent me his, so here are two reviews in one, because I am so vain that I think all my musings are incredibly entertaining and insightful and I would hate to deprive you the reader of any of them. – k.ed Newsflash! Duane Peters is […]

Various: Power for Passion Label: Dionysus Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 9/16/05 Power for Passion is subtitled “file under power pop 1978-85.” As compilations go, this one is pretty darn good. Originally this review was to be written by my friend Shane who is Mr. Power Pop. The first thing he did was grouse about […]

The Introducers: Close Ups Label: Slovenly Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 9/16/05 Yeah yeah, the surf music resurgence. I think it’s over already, until you hear this record by Italy’s The Introducers, formerly named Braccobaldos. Part surf, part garage, part spaghetti western, this record is a breath of fresh air and immediately engrossingly fun. It’s […]

The Epoxies: Stop The Future Label: Fat Wreck Chords Release Date: 2005 Review Date: 9/16/05 Hey jerks! It’s the Epoxies new album Stop The Future, and not a minute too soon. The Epoxies have been on the road since the Red Sea parted and finally holed themselves up in the studio to record some long […]

The Dogs: Suburban Nightmare Label: Dionysus Records Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 9/15/05 The same Dogs that did A Younger Point of View. (Can you tell where I’m getting my Dogs education?) Suburban Nightmare features the original Dogs lineup in it’s entirety. Musically, Suburban Nightmare sounds like a lot of MC5/Stooges inspired Detroit-style grunge being […]

The Mothers Anger: The Mothers Anger Label: Dionysus Records Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 9/15/05 Ok. Your mental image of a two piece rock band from Israel calls to mind Nirvana, right? No shit! Think of a mixture of Bleach and Nevermind era Nirvana. It’s usually a bad sign when you hear another band being […]

Peachfuzz: About a Bird Label: Dionysus Records Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 9/15/05 This is the third record from the LA based band Peachfuzz. I can’t vouch for the first two, but About a Bird is a highly enjoyable surprise. Peachfuzz is a mix of 70’s powerpop and 60’s psychedelica. While not exactly derivative, they […]

The Briefs: Singles Only Label: BYO Records Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 9/15/05 The Briefs rule. Technically this is a re-issue of the compilation now available only from the Briefs directly. Singles Only is a chronological collection of their singles. As a result you get a two versions of “Poor and Weird” which is no […]
