The Ergs! – Jersey's Best Prancers
Review — September 25, 2006
Anyone who's been paying attention can see the writing on the wall: like Cock Sparrer in 1982, pop punk's coming back. Of course, it never really left; it's just seen a variety of mutations since the halcyon days of "Locket Love": The Descendents' heartsick catharsis, The Lillingtons' television city dreaming, …
Issei Sagawa – All My Best Lovers Were Pre-Teens
Review — July 31, 2007
Issei Sagawa is Flipper-inspired annoying punk rock that tries to offend right down to the full sized poster of the members of the band peeing on each other in the insert. Issei Sagawa sounds like every misanthrope's first band right down to the shit recording in some dude's garage. I …
Pash – The Best Gun
Review — October 10, 2007
There are two basic guidelines to follow when being apart of the D.C. punk scene: the first is that it is absolutely necessary to be a vegan, straight edge, and a bike messenger, or at least a combination of two of those, or else you're going to feel a bit …

Mayflower – Second Best Sunsets
Review — August 26, 2010
After a brief intro track (what's the point of intros, anyway?), Mayflower kicks things off with the energetic "I Never ", an Off With Their Heads influenced gruff punk song with group choruses and a memorable hook. It's a fitting start to Second Best Sunsets, setting the tone of …
Thievery Corporation – It Takes A Thief: The Very Best Of
Review — July 25, 2011
Thievery Corporation has always been a bit of a musical Janus: one face obscured in the revolutionary stylings of Subcommandante Marcos, the other the visage of one of the most commercially successful acts in their scene. Their lyrics and album art all call for an end to the economic slavery …
White Reaper – The World's Best American Band
Review — April 17, 2017
You’d think that a band that titled their album The World’s Best American Band may be getting ahead of themselves. But not every band is White Reaper. They might have just done it.The second album from the Louisville, Kentucky natives somehow takes elements of ear-pleasing 70’s hard rock a-la …
