Dead End Drive-In – A Worthwhile Endeavour
Review — January 18, 2023
Discontent, a few degrees away from unease, oozes from the riffs of Dead End Drive-In’s new album, A Worthwhile Endeavour. Another release from Early Onset Records’ recent slew of disillusioned bands, Dead End Drive-In treads along a well worn path, much like labelmates Stuttr and Brass. On paper the …
Parkway Drive – Darker Still
Review — November 29, 2022
As it stands, in the grand scheme of things I didn't discover Parkway Drive until quite late on in their career. Considering the Aussie metalcore quintet formed in 2003, I did not understand the hype or get in on the action til I first heard 2015's Ire. It absolutely …
At the Drive-In – In•ter a•li•a
Review — December 11, 2017
Interminable slack-ass Omar Rodriguez-Lopez only released 12 solo albums this year on Ipecac Records. So to alleviate the presumed guilt, he’s gotten the old band back together again. That band is At the Drive-In and as far as “reunion” albums go, In•ter a•li•a is a monster. While not quite a …
Silent Drive – Love Is Worth It
Review — May 23, 2004
In my circle of friends, I am the only one who doesn't find anything remotely interesting about Bane. So what does that have to do with this review? A lot actually since two members of Silent Drive are in Bane. That really doesn't impress me, what did grab me is …Tours: Life Long Tragedy & These Days Tour

The Number Twelve Looks Like You – Worse Than Alone
Review — July 16, 2009
The Number Twelve Looks Like You have always been a very unorthodox band to say the least. They've been trying something new with each album and it's no different with their latest album, Worse Than Alone. Pinning them to one genre is difficult because they incorporate so many different …
Girls Like Us – Bitter 'Til The Bitter End
Review — August 23, 2023
There’s the references with friends, right? The inside jokes. The glib comments only your inner circle knows to find funny. A real rocks and dirt moment- sorry, that’s one of mine. There’s another level too. The inside jokes you have with yourself. Sometimes you’re the only one who sees …
Like Wolves – Paths
Review — December 10, 2009
Paths is the second 7" release from Rochester's Like Wolves. I really enjoyed their demo 7", but this is even better, showing immense promise for future recordings. Just as with the songs on their demo, "Live Wires" boasts some stellar guitar work, bringing to mind the hardcore meets rock approach …
Skin Like Iron – All Human Failings
Review — July 20, 2009
Never wasting a moment, the Bay Area's Skin Like Iron has brought forth yet another new recording with this seven-track 12" EP. All Human Failings is another blast of gritty, raw, and noisy hardcore punk from one of the genre's top bands. They didn't leave much room for improvement with …
Kids Like Us – The 80s are Dead (Reissue)
Review — April 5, 2009
I might as well start this review off by saying I have never liked Kids Like Us. There is nothing about their music that enthralls me. Actually their moshy "skater jams" annoy the living piss out of me with their juvenile lyrics and token mosh parts. There has been countless …
