Sadville – Make Ready the Cross
Review — September 26, 2007
Tennessee natives Sadville without a doubt could be the biggest misnomer for a group. These dudes don't play sad bastard emo at all. Instead they play stoner metal with elements of doom and hardcore punk. You can only imagine the relief when I heard the music after looking at their …
The (International) Noise Conspiracy – The Cross of My Calling
Review — February 17, 2009
It must be rough to be Dennis Lyxzén. Ten years ago, he was a part of the loftily-titled but nonetheless astounding album The Shape of Punk to Come with his band Refused. The bar was set very high, and once The (International) Noise Conspiracy was unveiled, we all realized that …
Various Artists – Post Teens / Rose Cross - split 7"
Review — December 14, 2015
Nice little split 7” here from Dead Tank that I’ve admittedly been sitting on way too long. Technically this is a 2014 release, although I don’t think it started hitting the shops until 2015. Rose Cross is really awesome. One of my favorite discoveries of this past year. They’ve been …Interviews: ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Feature — October 16, 2010
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead have accomplished a lot in a decade and half. They've toured the world countless times over and have released a slew of recordings that have garnered them praise from fans and critics. Scene Point Blank spoke with guitarist, drummer, …Other Reviews: Review: Dawn of the Dead
Feature — October 16, 2010
I will be honest here. I have always loved horror movies but never got around to seeing the original Dawn Of the Dead before the re-make. In the past, I had never really experienced any of the real famous zombie movies, such as The Night, Dawn, Day series, Zombie, etc. …
Dead Hearts – Dead Hearts
Review — March 7, 2005
The melding of hardcore and rock-n-roll seems to be quite the rave as of late. So when you have a sudden influx of bands taking aim at a new look of an established genre, you are going to get the full spectrum. That is to say you'll get everything from …
Dead Blonde Girlfriend – Dead Blonde Girlfriend
Review — November 14, 2005
Joie Blaney is, or at least, was a musical anomaly. Under the guise of Joie Dead Blonde Girlfriend, he plays an acoustic guitar faster and louder than any punk band. He sings his songs with the soul of a poet and with the voice of a cement mixer. He writes …
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – Tao Of The Dead
Review — February 21, 2011
…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead are at their best when they are at their biggest, and Tao of the Dead is a big album. Don’t be fooled by the track list when you see a majority of the songs clocking in at two minutes. This …
Dead Best – Dead Best
Review — March 15, 2022
Dead Best is a pandemic project featuring two friends and neighbors who play in bands…but never together until now. Brian Sorkey (AM/FM) and Adam Goren (Atom & His Package) have some crossover their scenes but play individually pretty different styles. Which makes it interesting to see …Tours: Into the Moat Drop From Tour

Into The Moat have been forced to dropped off their tour with Psyopus. Reportedly, Ed Gein will occupy the vacated spot on the tour that is scheduled to start July 2nd and last through mid-August. In stay of the tour, Into The Moat will be writing and recording material for …
Hot Cross – Cryonics
Review — February 27, 2004
"It's the band that has the singer from Saetia in it", was the first thing I heard about Hot Cross. Later I also heard it contains ex-members of Neil Perry and Joshua Fit For Battle, but being a huge fan of Saetia I immediately was forced to check this new …
Hot Cross – Fair Trades And Farewells
Review — June 18, 2004
When I mention Hot Cross a lot of time I'll hear some clever person sing the Hot Cross Buns jingle. I'm sure for each time I've heard this the band members have heard it a thousand times. Kinda like how when I tell people my name is Zed they do …
Cross Examination – The Hung Jury
Review — May 9, 2006
Everybody's so political these days. Protesting this, boycotting that. Hell, there are more hippie protest songs out now then there ever was in the 60's. Who cares if it's warranted - shaddap, Commie! Cross Examination harkens back to the good ol' days of drinking, moshing and puking, and not even …
The Snake The Cross The Crown – Cotton Teeth
Review — March 22, 2007
In late 2004 when folk was just breaking through and about to become the new emo, I was caught off guard by a band called The Snake The Cross The Crown. Opening for Owen, I was dumbfounded by the passion these gentlemen brought to the stage. Shortly after witnessing the …
Hot Cross – Risk Revival
Review — May 7, 2007
Contemporary hardcore is beginning to swing toward a repetitive joke. If drop-d jun jun's and massive amounts of double bass explosions followed by 2-step drum beats sounds familiar, then you know what I mean. Hardcore is not about the breakdown, well not in the common sense of the word anyway. …
Black Cross – Severance Pays
Review — September 13, 2007
Where the hell have you been for the last four years Black Cross? The circumstances that have hampered this woefully underrated band need not be espoused because it really does not make a difference; the fact remains that Severance Pays has been a long time coming, and thankfully it hits …
Alberta Cross – The Rolling Thunder
Review — October 31, 2011
Approaching the closure to their set last weekend at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia, the London born Alberta Cross kept spirits alive, playing “…one from the new album.” The rejuvenating “Money For the Weekend” boosted energy throughout the venue, and does just that as the opener to the band’s recent …
Plastic Cross – Grayscale Rainbows
Review — September 16, 2012
Hub City Hardcore may not be on par with Greek mythology in terms of their incestuous relations, but with the debut of Plastic Cross, the New Brunswick, NJ brings yet another band of familiar faces playing a wholly new sound. The band is comprised of familiar Hub City Hardcore faces, …
Cross Examination – Dawn of the Dude EP
Review — September 15, 2014
Sometimes I just want to eat a bunch of pizza, drink a 30 pack of Special Export Light, smoke one million doobies, make out with chicks in a swimming pool, stay up all night tripping on mushrooms while watching hippies swirl glow sticks and eat fire, and then make out …
