imadethismistake – It's Okay — The Cottage Records, 2009

imadethismistake play catchy folk-infused punk. It's a simple concoction, but it works well for the band. It's Okay is an eleven song LP with awesome artwork done by EMY (aka Bughead). Kylewilliam Campol's vocals match the music nicely, and the music is never too overbearing or haughty. It's evident that imadethismistake have found their niche. It's Okay is a pleasant release.

It's a guitar-first rock indie-punk band schooled by the college rock of the 1980s. This time around the transition has been so seamless that maybe the debut was a … Read more

The Penske File

Reprieve
Gunner Records, Stomp Records (2025)

I used to dislike punk music where people sing. And, well, I'm still not super fond of it but there is an exception to every rule. The Penske File are one of those exceptions and maybe it's because while they have a singer (as compared to a "vocalist"), it's still authentic and conveys that everyperson vibe I seek in the … Read more
