Clenched Fist ““Welcome to Memphis”” (Thorp Records) Fisting Clint, I mean Clenched Fist’s “Welcome to Memphis” is a prime example of hardcore anger colliding with idiocy. “Juicy” Joel’s vocals reek of moldy, cheesy MC bravado…the remaining decomposing fetal tissue of…
Blood Red ““Hostage”” (Initial Records) Despite the rather dismal name of this band it actually comes from a U2 song, go figure. Blood Red heralds from Long Island and I would imagine is a very important part of the island’s…
Bo Hansson “Sagan Om Ringen” (Silence Records) “Sagan Om Ringen” translates as “Lord of the Rings.” While this CD comes out in the midst of the film version of the complete trilogy, this album originally came out in 1972. Complete…

Common Rider “This is Unity Music” (Hopeless Records) You can’t keep a good band alive. Just isnt possible. Look at Guns N Roses, one of the best rock bands in history and is currently being smothered by an aged, overweight…
…And Oceans “Cypher” (Century Media) I don’t know what it is, but my heart always opens wide to Scandinavian metal bands like the flower of my fragile womanhood before a Norse God. …And Oceans come from the Finnish portion of…
