Neglect – The Complete Don Fury Sessions — NGS, 2005

Neglect are one of those bands that I always heard about, but never really took the time to listen to. Musically, they are on par with the mid-ninties hardcore bands that leaned towards the metal approach as opposed to those that were punk oriented. The lyrics of are very disturbed, often filled with hateful sentiments and pessimistic attitudes. Apparently they were well known for this. Not something I'd want as a claim to fame. By hardcore standards, a lot of these songs stretch fairly long, rolling past the four minute mark, some nearing six minutes. I'm not saying there is some unspoken rule that hardcore songs should only be two minutes, because there isn't. But these songs might be a slightly more tolerable if they were cut shorter. If you were familiar with Neglect prior to this release then you'll likely be greatly pleased with this collection of tunes. However, I think that most are not in the know and will find this to be a very passable release.

Jansen Records (2025)

I’m pretty sure I became aware of Mike Krol when The Whiffs posted about playing some shows with him. Krol is a bit of an anomaly. Not only is he on Merge and collaborates with Mac Superchunk- a dream scenario imo- but he’s also been elusive of my fan boy attempts at cold dm’ing him about stuff even tho we … Read more

I get a lot of music here at SPB and, unfortunately, my memory isn’t perfect. But I consider it a good sign when my first thought on hearing a new release is that, “Hey, I need to go back and relisten to the last one again.” It’s not a slight about the old stuff at all, but it means they’ve … Read more

The Sketch
Permanent Teeth (2025)

When The Sketch opens, I find myself quickly thinking of “Got The Time” by Joe Jackson. For the most part, that comparison fades by the time the power chords kick in at 10 seconds, but I also bring it up because (at least in my mind) that’s a classic track that doesn’t get enough fanfare. No artist wants constant “sounds … Read more
