Landmine Marathon – Wounded
Review — July 18, 2006
All the musically discontent who seek great screamo bands and other various awesome musical projects, surrender your soul to the beacon of light that is Level Plane Records. After four years of being a die hard fan of this label, it has introduced me to such awesome bands such as …
My Dad Vs. Yours – After Winter Must Come Spring
Review — July 17, 2006
I don't know when it happened, although I think it might have been around the time the movie Friday Night Lights came out and word got out that Explosions in the Sky was doing the soundtrack. That may have been the point but I'm not really sure. Anyways, at one …
Envy – Insomniac Doze
Review — July 23, 2006
Unless you haven't heard Envy before, which would be a tragic mistake, then you already know how incredible this Japan-based melodic hardcore band is. This band truly is the instrumental representation of angst and sincerity that is a rare find in the crowded pool of crappy hardcore bands today. That …
Man Man – Six Demon Bag
Review — August 3, 2006

Even more impressive however is that their latest outing, Define the Great …
These Arms Are Snakes – Easter
Review — October 12, 2006
I'm sure there are a lot of kids out there who refuse to move on and listen to the bands that have formed from the ashes of one of the greatest hardcore bands in history, but that's to their loss and my credit. Minus the Bear isn't bad, Roy is …
Death Before Disco – Barricades
Review — September 13, 2006
I'll be the first to admit that I often judge a book by its cover the same way I judge a band by their name and cover art. Simply based on these indicators, Death Before Disco did not give me great first impressions. I mean, Death Before Disco; not only …
As Tall as Lions – As Tall as Lions
Review — September 21, 2006
It is an awful shame that so many great indie bands often go unnoticed. As Tall as Lions is the perfect example of one of these bands. Here is a group who's already coming out on a small label, but also a label whose target audience is the complete opposite …
