Corrective Measure – Demo 2015 — Independent, 2015

Five song ripper from this quartet out of Maine. If the cover art is any indication these guys wear a lot of Nike. A cartoonish drawing of a baldy wearing both a Nike tee shirt and Nike sneakers adorns the J-card. Anybody who’s seen my recent drawings knows I can get down with that. The artists name is Chris X, so yeah, you know what’s going on here. Pretty derivative yet good mid-paced straight edge hardcore, with an Agnostic Front cover (“Discriminate Me”) thrown in for good measure. Time to X up and slam dance. Or grow up and slam a beer. Your choice. Actually if you live long enough and have an open mind, you have the opportunity to do both.

The Verdict? Those expectations were met. It'd be silly to say Songs of a Lost World is a "return to form" as the band and … Read more

City Mouse

So Far Out
Brassneck Records, It's Alive (2024)

There are few bands that hit with the mix of raw emotion and musical talent as a live City Mouse show. There are even fewer bands that can capture that live feeling on a record. It’s been a long 7 years since Get Right, but So Far Out keeps it moving as if no time has passed. Of course, the … Read more
