‘Music Reviews’ Archives
Easy Killer – “Easy Killer”
Easy Killer – “Easy Killer” A few years ago Andy and I were watching a ska/punk band at the Midway. “They’re okay,” I said to him, “But I just can’t get into this style.” “Yeah, I know what you mean,” [Read More]
Empire – “Empire S/T”
Empire – “Empire S/T” I don’t know much about this band. In fact, I know nothing. I suppose, for me, that’s true about most things in life- but for this band, it most, emphatically holds true. I do know their name is Empire. And they [Read More]
Prolapse – “Demo 1”
Prolapse – “Demo 1” This is music like if you’re jumping on a trampoline with firecrackers attached to the side of your head. And you’re on a pogo stick at the same time. And the ends of the trampoline have caught on fire while someone [Read More]
Goolagoon – “Split with ACxDC”
Goolagoon – “Split with ACxDC” Goolagoon is the band that first introduced me to the term and genre known as “power violence.” And because of this I will always seek a vow of vengeance towards them, which will be as surprising, as it is [Read More]
Willzyx – “Willzyx”

Wimp – “Vengeance EP”
Wimp – “Vengeance EP” Wimp is a new, all-girl punk/doom/metal/noise band from Boston. I’d toss in industrial and sludge in there, as well. They’re also a trans band and though they fit more, musically, into the metal/hardcore style- they [Read More]
No Good – “Citizen’s Arrest”
No Good – “Citizen’s Arrest” No good will come of this. It looks like you’re up to no good. They used to be great but now they’re- No Good. No Good is a hardcore/punk band from Maine. Just like Uncle Spudd, a band who I have seen [Read More]
Broken Heroes – “Make Oi! Great Again”
Broken Heroes – “Make Oi! Great Again” Broken Heroes is a band I’ve only seen play live once. They are an Oi! band from New Jersey and they are one of the best and truest Oi! bands from this part of the country. I saw them play, maybe five [Read More]
Pint Killers – “The Dirty Dozen”
Pint Killers – “The Dirty Dozen” When I first received Pint Killers “Demo” last January- my first reaction was it was too rough around the edges to review. This was not the bands fault- hell, at the time it was just a singer and [Read More]
Scalp The Pioneer – “Demo”
Scalp The Pioneer – “Demo” Scalp The Pioneer is a band I’m unfamiliar with except for a three song demo I recently listened to, that was released last April. It’s hard to write about something or someone you don’t know much about. [Read More]
