Review: Every Time I Die
Every Time I Die “Hot Damn!” (Ferret) Although starting out on an average hardcore pace, Every Time I Die picks up the slack and makes ‘Hot Damn!’ a pretty damn cool album. Kinda reminds me of Curl Up and Die…

Review: Flamethrower
Flamethrower “Self-Titled” (Dead Teenager Records) With all the sensitive, touching music out there today, it’s good to know that a band like Flamethrower is around to destroy and plunder . Flamethrower is like a supercharged engine burning through the pages…
Review: Eatmyfuk
Eatmyfuk “Wet Slit & A Bottle of Whiskey” (Bestial Onslaught Productions) This record’s songs about sex and drinking and smoking joints should appeal to any junior high school students who haven’t ever drank, smoked dope or fucked. The music is…
