Angus McSix – Angus McSix and the Sword of Power.

Review — May 10, 2023

Review — October 11, 2023

Seagulls – The Rapture and Resurgens

Review — December 15, 2023

While this is their second overall (if Bandcamp is up to date), The Rapture and Resurgens is my first time really sitting down with a Seagulls full-length. And my takeaways match with seeing them at FEST 21 recently. It’s heavy punk that’s big on singalongs, equally angry and melodic -- …

The MES – Evil Echo and Deaf Mind-

Review — October 5, 2024

Divine intervention from Finland weaving this ripsnorter straight up the nasal cavity producing flashing lights and heightened endorphin production ……. oh, the downside -repetition is essential for pure unadulterated drops of artificial sweetener-sucralose to take full effect (sure beats saccharin).

Chuck Ragan – Love and Lore

Review — November 14, 2024
