Review: EYEHATEGOD
EYEHATEGOD ““Confederacy of Ruined Lives”” (Century Media) I dig these guys. Always have. I was bummed in ‘98 when Mike Williams (vocals) left the band while still on tour for the “Dopestick” album. These guys are back in a huge…

Review: Dicky B. Hardy
Dicky B. Hardy ““I Whistle You Dance”” (Taang Records) A lot of good punk is coming out of Europe these days. Millencolin, Wizo, and a whole host of others have crossed the Atlantic and found their fair share of popularity…
Review: Doro
Doro ““Calling the Wild…”” (Koch Records) I knew I had heard her before. I also knew, from her two-page biography that she’s had to have been around for a while. One word, Warlock. Remember? All through the 80’s. 17 albums,…

Review: 40 Grit
40 Grit ““Heads”” (Metal Blade) Guitar crunch. Mean and low with a growly vocal presence that likes to drop into a deep throaty scrape as well as pull a moaning sweep of melody. Its heavy in a crossbred Korn /…
Review: Agent Orange
Agent Orange ““This, That-N-The Other Thing”” (Cleopatra Records) A greatest hits disk of sorts from a band that’s been around since 1979 pushing their meld of surf and punk rock. A staple of the skate scene, the band plays on…
Review: Cannibus
Cannibus ““2000 B C”” (Universal Rec) OK, Stop the hating. Now. All this nonsense about Canibus not having skills, not being able to get good production, not being able to make a good album. This kid is on fire. he…
