Just Surrender – We're in Like Sin

Review — October 22, 2007

Rob Gordon once said "The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow …

Iron Chic – Not Like This

Review — October 26, 2010

Out to Sea – Mouth Like a Sailor

Review — December 22, 2008

Hailing from outside of Dallas, this Texas hardcore outfit delivers six tracks of premium melodic hardcore with a slightly metallic edge. Musically their sound reminds me of Shai Hulud, but a little bit more melodic perhaps Kid Dynamite-esque at points. They've got it all, good sing-along parts, some fast-paced two-stepping …

Mike Hale – Lives Like Mine

Review — July 28, 2009

Radio 4 – Enemies Like This

Review — August 14, 2006

When Radio 4 released Gotham, it instantly became one of my favorite albums of all time. It was packed full of great songs that were great to dance to and also contained a message. But the band faltered with the distinctly average Stealing of a Nation. It wasn't so …

Janez Detd – Like Cold Rain Kills a Summer Day...

Review — September 25, 2006

Archetypal scene dude: So yeah these guys are like super huge in Europe; I am sure they are going to hit it big over here. But I saw them like three years ago in like a port-a-potty with no electricity and they had a generator going to plug in their …

DOOM – Born Like This

Review — July 15, 2009

Even though he took up the same moniker, all-caps not withstanding, it's unlikely anyone is going to mistake the artist formerly toting metal fingers for the legendary crust band. One decade after the landing of Operation Doomsday, Danielle Dumile re-emerges with a modified alter-ego, and perhaps a bruised original …

Bands I Like: Shook Ones

Blog — July 15, 2007

Shook Ones, for the uninitiated, are a melodic hardcore band from Seattle, Washington. Their debut LP, Sixteen, had some serious Kid Dynamite aping going on, without a doubt, but it was a really solid effort regardless. The more I listened to Sixteen though, the more I found it kind …

Rain Like the Sound of Trains

Blog — November 29, 2021

Rain Like the Sound of Trains As the king of the road and grand seignior of honk-tonk songs, i.e. Roger Miller, put it ever so eloquently, “some people walk in the rain, others just get wet”. Well, others are singing in it in the most blissfully ignorant, cheerful …

Show review: At The Drive-In @ Brixton Academy, London (08/28/12)

Blog — August 29, 2012

It's rare that you attend a show that feels like it has the weight of history riding on it, but seeing At The Drive-In play what is likely to be the final show of their reunion tour, 12 years after they originally split, certainly felt in that category. The …

Parkway Drive @ Sutherland Entertainment Centre

Blog — July 4, 2016

Parkway Drive Entertainment Centre Sutherland, Australia June 26, 2016 Parkway Drive is glam metalcore. “Metal” as in classic metal and anthemic choruses. “Core” as in simple, direct, angry, to the point and crowd-participation inducing. Glam metalcore that marries both camps successfully and …
