Power – Death Haunts

Review — May 23, 2011

Having existed for roughly three years now, Bremerton, WA’s, Power have created somewhat of a rep for themselves in the Pacific Northwest. The aftermath of one particular incident resulted in half the band landing in jail—a demolished automobile left in their wake. And legend has it that Power set a …

Power – Bremerton Zoo

Review — May 14, 2013

Old school hardcore punk has really found its feet in the last few years. Bands like Creem, Raw Nerve and Violent Reaction have brought innovation to the scene by utilising lesser heard influences ranging from street punk to crust, whilst reducing the songs to their bare bones; …

The Phase Problem – The Power Of Positive Thinking

Review — April 23, 2024

I spent a good part of the late ‘90s annoyed at the abundance of Ramonescore. I’ll stand by my word: many of the bands of that era were carbon copies that didn’t bring anything new to the format. But time has passed and what was overdone is now a refreshing …

Angus McSix – Angus McSix and the Sword of Power.

Review — May 10, 2023

The story of this album is forged thusly; after heroically dying in the greatest battle of all time at the hands of goblins, Prince Angus awakes in the underworld, realm of martyrs. Remembering that his homeland of Scotland and, indeed the galaxy, are still under threat he endeavours to return. …

Eliot Borenstein – Pussy Riot – Speaking Punk to Power

Review — December 29, 2020

It would be appropriate to refer to Pussy Riot not only as revolutionary art collective, but a cultural phenomenon that has itself firmly established on international terrain. Having first risen to prominence via their anti-Putin protest performance in a cathedral in Moscow, there have been a myriad of misconceptions about …

Dragonforce – The Power Within

Review — April 30, 2012

Okay, I'll just come out and say it--I like DragonForce.I know, I know; just saying 'DragonForce' is a one-liner joke in of itself. Whether its the plague of terrible performances that prevailed during the Inhuman Rampage tour, or the observation that the band can only play at two speeds: …

Iggy & The Stooges – Raw Power: Live In The Hands Of The Fans

Review — April 18, 2012

I am a monster Stooges fan, particularly from the Raw Power era on to their incendiary demise (not a long time period in any case, I know), and was immensely elated to hear that the reformed Stooges mark II lineup was playing in my back yard. I purchased tickets with …

Iggy & The Stooges – Raw Power (Re-Issue)

Review — November 29, 2010

"Raw Power’s got a son named rock n’ roll" Leave it to Iggy Pop to both boast about this record and succinctly describe what an album’s impact would be on music. Seriously, look at the cover to the album, and I mean REALLY look at it; get it …

Screaming Females – Power Move

Review — September 30, 2009

All right, might as well just get this done and over with. There's been a lot of hype surrounding this three-piece Jersey group and I for one never thought it warranted. Then again, I'm not a hipster and never cared about the hype that came with any band. Hype is …

Lion of Judah – Soul Power

Review — March 28, 2006

Despite the obviously hippie-drawn, almost Narnian cover art, and a band name perhaps more likely to evoke visions of reggae or, even worse, Christian rock, Lion of Judah sound much more interested in the likes of Bad Brains and Fugazi than Bob Marley or Creed. Putting the DC back in …

Q and Not U – Power

Review — October 26, 2004

Mike Watt famously said that the Minutemen "divided the whole world into two categories: there were flyers and the gig. You're either doing the gig, which is like one hour of your life or everything else to get people to the gig. Interviews were flyers, videos were flyers, even records …

DJ Z Trip @ Factory Theatre

Blog — February 6, 2017

DJ Z Trip Factory Theatre Sydney, AUS January 28, 2017 Turntablism is an art form.  Period.  An art form that more often than not has been diluted by applying a simple formula and reducing it to the lowest common denominator to make it appealing to the mainstream palate in a …

Cat Power @ Enmore Theatre

Blog — February 14, 2019

Cat Power Enmore Theatre Sydney, Australia February 11, 2019   It has been nearly two and a half decades since Chan Marshall incarnated with her debut album as Cat Power and while she has ever since established herself as a fixture on the firmament of independent music, her singer-songwriter career …

The Formative Years – Raw Power

Blog — October 18, 2022

The Formative Years – Raw Power Italian hardcore punk from the 1980s is something to savour and Raw Power is just one example of how much of a trailblazing scene it was. My first exposure to Raw Power was via the Maximum Rock’n Roll’s fantastic international punk and hardcore compilation, …
