‘Music Reviews’ Archives
Duck & Cover – “Stuck In Decline”
Duck & Cover – “Stuck In Decline” There is a sound, that I consider, the sound of Boston. And it’s not the sound of Aerosmith or The J. Geils Band and certainly not that band Boston, who were really from Cape Cod and sucked anyways. [Read More]
Kimachi – “Separation Anxiety”
Kimachi – “Separation Anxiety” Kimachi is a Boston hardcore punk band who I’ve reviewed before in TNB, and though I mistook them before for some fiery, traditional Korean dish- I’m happy to relate they’re still dishing out some [Read More]
Goolagoon – “Life Of Crime”
Goolagoon – “Life Of Crime” As I’ve said before, in the last year or so, the young bands I review fall into two categories. Bands influenced by early, traditional punk or bands that align themselves with hardcore and are influenced by the more [Read More]
Zero Rights – “Our World”
Zero Rights – “Our World” Refuse Resist were one of the top hardcore bands when we started TNB five years ago. We were made quite clear of this by others and when we experienced them live, we found out we were not misled. That band ceased to exist [Read More]

Mongorellis – “People Zoo”
Mongorellis – “People Zoo” Mongorellis is the name of this band. Goddamn, if this is not one of the hardest names I’ve had to remember, always spelling it wrong. It’s like these metal bands with these long words you’ve never seen [Read More]
The Grubs – “I.V.”
The Grubs – “I.V.” I really like The Grubs. I reviewed one of their earlier “releases” or, as I like to call them “discharges.” They’re much like Rictus Grin- fun and punk and drunk or at least they sound that way. [Read More]
Lucky United – “Lucky United”
Lucky United – “Lucky United” Lucky United is Jenn Lombari’s latest project and she is my favorite songwriter of the bands we cover. So maybe, you think, I should disqualify myself from the review, and you have a point, but everyone who [Read More]
Crystal Methodist – “Drear”
Crystal Methodist – “Drear” I remember working in the mail room of the Boston Public Library in the late seventies. Along with a co-worker, Eddie, an amateur jazz drummer who turned me on to Miles Davis- we decided to do some crystal meth at the [Read More]
