Totally Slow – The Darkness Intercepts
Review — April 19, 2024
I find Totally Slow a hard band to categorize. Their brand of melodic, hard punk is familiar and comforting -- rooted in ‘80s hardcore, ‘90s skatepunk, and post-something guitar-driven rock. The press release namedrops Dag Nasty and Hot Snakes, among others, which I think are good starting points. But …
Totally Slow – Casual Drag
Review — August 17, 2021
I don’t hear skatepunk-influenced bands that catch my attention very often. What was once new and vibrant has grown stale and derivative. Yet, Totally Slow (from North Carolina) have a very clear West Coast ‘90s influence that thrives throughout Casual Drag, their third record. While I hear a lot …
Slow Crush – Hush
Review — November 2, 2021
Dennis: When browsing through new releases in my overflowing inbox I decided to go for Slow Crush. It is released on Church Road Records, a sympathetic new label and mentioned shoegaze, dream pop and indie rock. I may not have the deepest of knowledge on this genre, but enough to …

Eagles of Death Metal – Peace Love Death Metal
Review — March 31, 2004
For those of us that follow the happenings of the music world closely, it seems there is always a release that involves a Queens of the Stone Age member around the corner. This time Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, alias Carlo Von Sexron, is lending his talents …
Death By Stereo – Into the Valley of Death
Review — February 25, 2004
Death By Stereo's newest release and they have shown no sign of slowing down. They have taken their classic style and improved upon it in many ways. The intro to "Beyond The Blinders" is enough to get anyone head-banging. "You're a Bullshit Salesman Without A Mouthful of Samples" has some …
The Kiss of Death – The Kiss of Death
Review — April 28, 2004
It wasn't that long ago that I was greeted with the news that hardcore act Turmoil had decided to call it quits. After a tumultuous grieving period, I was finally able to take The Process Of... out of my CD player and reluctantly move on. Then one day out of …
Death By Stereo – Death is My Only Friend
Review — August 16, 2009
Before I start this review, let's have a little history lesson. Death By Stereo began their careers by releasing two very solid hardcore albums (If Looks Could Kill, I'd Watch You Die and Day of the Death) and winning a lot of fans over with their energetic live …
Death By Stereo – Death for Life
Review — June 28, 2005
Fearlessly naming their new record Death for Life is an instant indication that Death By Stereo aren't about to back down despite the lawsuits and legal issues surrounding the band after a death at one of their shows in 2003. Just in case you didn't pick up on the name, …
Death Grips – Jenny Death
Review — April 27, 2015
I almost don’t want to write a review for experimental rap outfit Death Grips, because I feel like I’d be giving them exactly what they want: attention. Their overly abrasive attitude – from no-show live shows to perpetually shitting on their record label via publicity stunts – comes off as …
Death is Not Glamorous – Death is Not Glamorous / Undercurrents
Review — September 5, 2006
I know very little about the country of Norway. Sure, I could hit up Google or Wikipedia and shoot off some facts about their leading exports or how many Olympic downhill skiers were born there, but it would be nothing more than useless information. All you need to know, my …
Eagles of Death Metal – Death by Sexy
Review — May 2, 2006
The Eagles of Death Metal are back in action and are kicking all notions of a sophomore slump to the curb. Death by Sexy is thirteen tracks of sassed up garage rock that makes for the ideal Summer soundtrack. So pick up a copy of this album and plan a …
Manatees – The Forever Ending Jitter Quest of Slow Hand Chuckie: An Introduction to the Manatee
Review — January 1, 2008
I slept on Manatees' promotional disc for a very long time and I'm extremely sorry I did so. Their untitled release, or the lengthy The Forever Ending Jitter Quest of Slow Hand Chuckie: An Introduction to the Manatee is an ethereal and simultaneously heavy release. Their press sheet sums up …
Aoria – If I Slow Down Everything Will Disappear
Review — June 20, 2006
I love unsolicited review materials, especially when it's a band I've never heard before, and even more so when said band turns out to be surprisingly good. Aoria is a four-piece outfit from Sweden that plays rock music with the electro-pop influence of The Cure. The songs of this three-song …
Cobalt – Slow Forever
Review — April 18, 2016
The future looked very dark for Cobalt, following the release of 2009's Gin. Wunder and McSorley seemed to have perfected their recipe for the black metal outfit, following the release of their debut album, War Metal, and especially their sophomore full-length, Eater of Birds. The band seized …
Ian William Craig – Slow Vessels
Review — May 15, 2017
The classically trained Ian William Craig released in 2016 one of the best experimental works of the year in Centres. Applying ample processing to his vocals, in effect enhancing the performance, he created an adventurous record without tempering with the underlying emotion. Today he returns with Slow Vessels, …

Camp Trash – The Long Way, The Slow Way
Review — August 11, 2022
Camp Trash is a band that impressed me from the first second I heard them on their first single ”Weird Carolina” before the Downtime EP was out. I can't deny that I got to discover the band through Keegan, the guitarist. (Keegan used to write on many Asian bands for …
