Jason Paul + The Know It Alls – I'm Absolutely Terrified
Review — September 6, 2025
I'd call Jason Paul + The Know It Alls happy punk except, well, it ain't. The lyrics are somber and thoughtful, yet the tone and melodies are uplifting and that's what I go by. I'd also call it San Pedro chill punk, as it has some similar elements to …
Dave Hause – ...And The Mermaid
Review — September 20, 2025
...And The Mermaid is Dave Hause's eighth full-length solo album if I’m counting right. The big news with this new effort is that it features a full band. No, it isn't The Loved Ones Pt. 2. But we do get Hause mocking nu-metal and rap-rock, which was probably the second …

The Penske File – Reprieve
Review — October 18, 2025

Faulty Cognitions – They Promised Us Heaven
Review — October 19, 2025
On their debut, Somehow, We Are Here, Faulty Cognitions made their statement. This wasn't a garage-punk band in the style of the members' previous bands (Low Culture and Shang-A-Lang, among others). It's a guitar-first rock indie-punk band schooled by the college rock of the 1980s. This …
