The Wives – Erect the Youth Problem
Review — November 29, 2005
Let's get the formalities and the predictabilities out the way right off the bat. Wives are a straight up rock band from Los Angeles whose main claim to fame is that their singer's car got hit by a reckless driving Backstreet Boy - the blonde one, if memory serves. The …
Comadre – The Youth
Review — March 9, 2005
Whoever said there's only so many different ways to say you like something lied. Actually, I don't remember anybody ever saying that. But here we are, and I get to attempt to convey to you why I think this album is worth your time to listen to because I like …
TV on the Radio – Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes
Review — May 18, 2004
Young Liars was one of the most exceptional releases that I have heard in recent years. It caught me completely off guard. Based on the descriptions I was given prior, I anticipated to be extremely bored. Despite the warnings of others, I went forward and purchased the album blindly. I …
Mouthbreather / Enviornmental Youth Crunch – Split
Review — February 1, 2010
There's a lot to say about this split. First, it features one great name (Mouthbreather) and one lesser one (Environmental Youth Crunch). What strikes me second is the contrast in band styles, though I'll elaborate on this later. And, third, that it's such a solid release with five songs - …
Sonic Youth – Daydream Nation (Reissue)
Review — June 14, 2007
When I first heard Sonic Youth, I didn't know about their formidable New York hipster cachet: Glenn Branca confederates, initially hated by Village Voice snob Bob Christgau, ex-No New York alumni (at least before Steve Shelley got behind the skins), etc. I had no idea that this was the …
Youth Of Today – Break Down The Walls
Review — June 2, 2012
Please allow me to drop this little disclaimer here before we delve any further; I am not nor was ever a fan of Youth Of Today (outside of maybe one or two songs), and with that said, I still recognize their impact on what became the hardcore and punk scene …
Sonic Youth – Rather Ripped
Review — July 25, 2006
I love Sonic Youth. I've been a fan from the beginning. So it is with a heavy heart I say that their newest album Rather Ripped is neither Sonic, nor Youthful. "Sure", you cynical bastards say, "I've been feeling that way since Goo". But with each subsequent album, the …
Defiance, Ohio / Environmental Youth Crunch – Split
Review — April 22, 2007
This split basically had to happen. Environmental Youth Crunch loves the environment. Defiance, Ohio loves friendship and family. Both bands love punk rock and it's ideals. With this split 7", even if only for a brief time, they are able to crank out some great folk songs, as well as …
Youth Group – Casino Twilight Dogs
Review — February 26, 2007
Australian-bred power-pop/indie-rock band Youth Group has returned with their second U.S. release, and third overall, with Casino Twilight Dogs and damn is it good. The dark and haunting lyrics matched with shimmering guitar chords and vocalist Toby Martin's smooth, pop-perfect delivery made 2004's Skeleton Jar a strange disc to behold …
Autistic Youth – Nonage
Review — December 2, 2013
I nearly died one night in the kitchen of Mexican restaurant I was cooking at. When it came time to clean up the floors at the end of my closing shift, I erroneously (read: stupidly) mixed ammonia and bleach in a mop bucket full of steaming hot water. One …
Sonic Youth – Sonic Nurse
Review — December 31, 2004
Since June, I've been laboring over how to start off a review of Sonic Nurse. Now, it's December, and all I've come up with is a cliche about how I don't know what to say. Really, the only thing I can think to say is that Sonic Nurse is …
