From Richmond VA comes the Clash meets Rancid assault of Ann Beretta on this 14 track masterpiece. Mid paced, energy charged PUNK ROCK with melodies to spare, shout-along choruses etc. God this is good! Songs about the state of the punk scene, relationships, personal politics, but all done with intelligence, and more importantly, with fucking […]

Fine, old fashioned snotty punk rock in the vein of The Dead Boys. Has a real 78 New York feel, coupled with today’s hardcore speed. Funny that they come from Cleveland! Offensive in the best punk rock way! Good tunes, singalong choruses. They’ve done their homework and have nailed that sound, but they have the […]

UK Subs: Endangered Species Label: New Red Archives Release Date: 1997 Recording Date: 1982 Review Date: 2000 If you were fortunate to come across this album on vinyl, you are already aware that this is by far the most ambitious and best produced album that the UK Subs ever delivered. The closest a punk band […]

Label: EMI Europe, Go-Kart North America Release Date: 1999 Review Date: 2000 Ok, let’s put aside the fact that I have to stiffle a scream every time that damned Toyota commercial comes on.

Devo: Dev-o Live Label: Rhino Handmade Release Date: 1999 Recording Date: 1980 Review Date: 2000 Rhino Handmade specializes in limited edition releases that are only available from their web site.

Buzzcocks: Time’s Up Label: Mute Release Date: 1999 Recording Date: 1977 Review Date: 2000 Time’s Up was originally a bootleg of studio outakes from the Spiral Scratch sessions.

No, you haven’t somehow slept through the release of Social D’s 6th album. This is a very limited CD, released only in Germany, which brings together most of their B-sides from their many demo singles over the years. On those demo singles they would pair their most popular songs with a cover of an obscure […]

The Shutdowns: T-75 Label: Theologian Release Date:1999 Review Date: 2000 Punk’n’roll done to perfection. Great songs with attitude and a whole lot of balls. Big, fat guitar sound. Like a more focused and better version of New Bomb Turks. One of the songs on here is about a guy breaking in his creepers. How cools […]

One Man Army: Last Word Spoken Label: Adeline Release Date:2000 Review Date: 2000 Good stuff this. Mid tempo punk rock from this San Fran 3-piece. The songs grow on you faster than a fungus. The vocal style left me cold at first because he sounds like the singer from the Dropkick Murphys, and that throaty […]

Down By Law: Fly the Flag Label: Go-Kart Release Date:1999 Review Date: 2000 Down by Law have been around for a long time, and their sound has really matured. Actually, Dave Smalley has almost made them into a mod band on their latest release. They still can produce melodic punk with the best of them […]
