Fireworks – All I Have to Offer is My Own Confusion
Review — April 17, 2009
Ah, the full-length record that so many of us have been waiting for. After the disappointing lack of new material found on last year's Adventure, Nostalgia, and Robbery, fans were certainly ready for this record to come to light. Now on the more widely distributed Triple Crown label, Detroit's …
Rocket from the Crypt – All Systems Go Volume 3
Review — January 12, 2009
Leaving behind a recording legacy as large as Rocket from the Crypt is doing rates fairly high on the impressive scale considering how difficult it is to maintain consistency and relevance over a couple of albums let alone the roughly six full-lengths as well as a multitude of EP's and …
Pelican – What We All Come to Need
Review — December 8, 2009
Pelican's new record What We All Come to Need is a gorgeous journey through sludge rock with some moments of beautiful calm. But does it hold your attention enough to be a repeated listen? I got into Pelican when I purchased 2005's The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the …
Don't Trip – The Root of All Evil
Review — September 8, 2008
Don't Trip is a hardcore band that hails from the Bay Area of California. Northern California has been a hotbed for hardcore bands in recent years, so it's a hard game to jump into. After a self-released demo last year, Don't Trip comes back with the ten-track Root of All …
Know the Score – All Guts, Still No Glory
Review — August 20, 2008
We don't care about your labels and your fucking trends / We only care about the music and hanging out with our friends / So stand to the side and don't get in our way / Kids like you drop out of hardcore every single day. This quote from "Pep …
Samamidon – All is Well
Review — August 12, 2008
Whether or not a band is unknown is pretty subjective. While I was at the Portraits of Past reunion show in Berkeley recently, many passers-by and uninformed parents continued to ask who was playing. They saw the line of 500-plus kids and couldn't believe that this line was for a …
Achenar – All Will Change
Review — June 15, 2008
One of the more difficult aspects of reviewing records is when an individual reviewer goes into a record completely blind with virtually no knowledge beforehand regarding a particular release or artist or group. Although there can be no preconceived notions concerning such projects, a certain amount of frustration or unpreparedness …
Envy – All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead (Reissue)
Review — March 17, 2008
Besides being a mouthful of a title, All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead is one of my favorite Envy records with its capture of the band's raw emotion and the sound of a band becoming more comfortable with themselves. This is a reissue that is …
Romans – All Those Wrists
Review — December 19, 2007
Romans is the latest band to be sprung forth from Vermont's underground music scene - the last two that I recall are My Revenge! and Drowningman. So, these four gentlemen from Burlington are in fairly good company in that regard. On their debut release, All Those Wrists, the band unleashes …
Make Do and Mend – We're All Just Living
Review — December 12, 2007
Don't you just hate it when an album, or in this case an EP, is marred by one or two horrible tracks? Connecticut's Make Do and Mend almost created a flawless melodic post-hardcore short player if it weren't for the second and third tracks. The latter of these two tracks, …
Daymares – Cant Get Us All
Review — September 9, 2007
Daymares hail from Poland. Yes, that Poland. Prior to this release, the band had nothing more than a roughly mixed demo, which mixed 90's metallic hardcore with brooding metal. And here's why you should take notice Can't Get Us All is the band's debut full-length. Comprised of eleven songs, three …
