Nai Harvest – Hold Open My Head EP
Review — December 15, 2014
Nai Harvest released this four song EP earlier on this year and I've been meaning to listen to it for a while now and man I wish I hadn't waited. It is a powerful record with soaring guitar work and vocals to match compliments of Ben Thompson who is ably …
Natterers – Head In Threathening Attitude
Review — November 5, 2018
Sometimes I like my punk straightforward. Give me some power chords, play them high speed, high energy for one to three minutes and I’m a happy man. Sometimes I like my punk a bit different. One thing I enjoy is a guitarist who dares to play something different. Just to …
Foundation – Hang Your Head
Review — December 10, 2009
I grew up on '90s hardcore, so when I hear new band's drawing influence from that era I get excited. Atlanta's Foundation does just that and this new EP is a welcome addition to my collection of present day bands paying homage to the '90s. "Fireproof" sets the tone …
Hostages – Legend in my Head, Failure to the World
Review — July 31, 2007
Hailing from Philadelphia, Hostages play over-emotional guilt ridden hardcore in the version of American Nightmare, The Hope Conspiracy, Suicide File and other bands that once hailed from Boston. I would compare them to Knives Out if anyone outside of the City of Brotherly Love knew who I was talking about. …
Pixies – Head Carrier
Review — January 2, 2017
When the Pixies released 2014's Indie Cindy, it was their first release in the band's history to not include Bassist/Vocalist Kim Deal. It was evident, very evident that without her, it was going to be an uphill climb. Deal's immediate replacement came in the form of Kim Shattuck, formerly …
Hop Along – Bark Off Your Head, Dog
Review — May 28, 2018
Hop Along have been on a tear since the release of their 2012 debut, Get Disowned and came to proper prominence with 2015’s Painted Shut, a showcase of a young band coming into their own, and placing the extraordinary voice of singer/guitarist Frances Quinlan center stage. It’s a low-key …
Final Fight – Half Head, Full Shred
Review — March 16, 2009
Final Fight finally return with their second full-length. After releasing the acclaimed Under Attack in 2005 the band signed to Deathwish Inc. with promises of new recordings. They soon released a split 7" with Life Long Tragedy but then the wait for the band's next studio effort seemed to last …

Big Business – Head for the Shallow
Review — May 15, 2005
In the late 80's and early 90's, Seattle was the place for any musician to be. A brief yet socially relevant counterculture was spawned, not too dissimilar to punk in the early 80's. The movement, being simply music or something more, had no name but was knighted "grunge" by the …
Emma Louise – Vs Head Vs Heart
Review — May 27, 2013
Emma Louise described the cover art for her debut album Vs Head Vs Heart as expressing "the beauty that can come out of vulnerability". The cover art fittingly reflects the songs on Vs Head Vs Heart, vulnerability is seeping through every song in a flurry of initially …
Driving on City Sidewalks – Where Angels Crowd to Listen
Review — October 6, 2009
Driving on City Sidewalks is a Canadian duo who play a heartbroken strain of indie post-rock, with a few heavy nods to folk. This five-song EP begins with "To Finish the Race," which has instrumentals heavily ripping off The Appleseed Cast. This band uses simple and slow vocal patterns, drawing …
City of Ships – Look What God Did to Us
Review — August 31, 2009
Occasionally, a member of the staff at Scene Point Blank will write a piece on an artist of which I'm not entirely familiar. As a result, I will have to do some investigating in order to make sure all facts are straight. Every once in a while this leads to …
Dead City – Goddamn the 21st Century
Review — November 12, 2009
To create a preface for the reader I'm going to backtrack a bit. I grew up during an amazing time for metalcore - before Victory Records became giant media whores. So noted I have a very obvious soft spot that style of hardcore. This may be helpful information for you …
Red City Radio – SkyTigers EP
Review — August 27, 2018
Today’s story about wrong first impressions will be about Red City Radio, a some-kind-of-hyphen-punk band from OKC. I’ll admit I’m already behind on first listening to the band just last year – they formed in 2007. That said, I caught a solo acoustic set by lead vocalist Garrett Dale and …
