Civil War Rust – The Fun and the Lonely
Review — July 29, 2013
In case you’re missing the old Alkaline Trio, the East Bay’s Civil War Rust is calling your name. Not to say the band is strictly derivative of the Matt Skiba-fronted band, but they wear their influences on their sleeve and a number of the songs on The Fun and …
Cobra Skulls – Bringing The War Home
Review — April 11, 2011
The Cobra Skulls are certainly not new to the punk scene. The band has made a name for themselves in the post Against Me! style of punk rock. While not nearly as folksy as that description would offer there are certain similarities. The politics are there as well as the …
Cold War Kids – Robbers and Cowards
Review — September 19, 2007
With a few EP's and a couple of renowned festivals under their belt - Lollapalooza and South by Southwest - Cold War Kids have finally released (in late 2006 actually) their full-length album, Robbers and Cowards. Like a few of their indie predecessors, Cold War Kids borrows from 1970's …
E. Town Concrete – Made for War
Review — March 20, 2005
Let me start off by saying that E. Town Concrete is the only band I know of that can mix hip hop and hardcore and not come out looking like idiots. Their last release, Renaissance was a solid release, equal parts rap with equal parts hardcore. Made for War, …
Extinction A.D. – Plague Prophecy
Review — September 28, 2015
A storm has ostensibly been brewing in Long Island, New York beneath the surface of the hardcore outfit This Is Hell. For those in the know, This Is Hell has been an East Coast staple for the better part of the millennium. Interestingly, the band had been bearing the …
Good Old War – Come Back As Rain
Review — March 12, 2012
The first time I heard Good Old War, I heard them live - probably the best way to listen to them, in my opinion. Their harmonies, melodies and musical arrangements are way more impressive that way. They were opening for Guster and after their performance of "My Own Sinking Ship," …
Ignite – A War Against You
Review — April 4, 2016
Even after a decade, Ignite still managed to put out a record that was the logical step forward from Our Darkest Days. While it's not a "reunion" album, it certainly feels like it. Up until the last couple years, Ignite have pretty much been on and off when it …
In the Face of War – We Make Our Own Luck
Review — March 1, 2007
I remember this band; a few years ago I picked up Live Forever or Die Trying with false promises of sweet melodic hardcore. We all know how much I love sweet melodic hardcore. Unfortunately, I was rewarded with another bland disc of substandard metallic somewhat fast hardcore. The only redeeming …Interviews: Good Old War
Feature — October 16, 2010
The music business is filled with inflated egos and individuals craving adulation. So when you come across an artist that is the complete opposite of that, it's quite a relief. The gentlemen of Good Old War are just that, sincere songwriters that are quite humble about the craft that they …

January of two thousand four: I'm weeks away from starting the spring semester of my sophomore year. By the end of February I must declare a major, thus signing a contract that will theoretically determine the rest of my life. Yes, I can change majors; I can even drop out …
