Review: Sin
Sin ““Noisy Pipes Lovely Noises”” (Koch Records) It was with more than a small amount of trepidation (due largely in part to the naked, scarred man on the cover) that I gingerly placed this Euro-goth CD into my player. While…

Review: Haystak
Haystak ““Car Fulla White Boys”” (Street Flavor Records) As soon as I saw the ad for this LP, I wanted to buy it just to see how wrong Murder Dog Magazine was when they called Haystak “the tightest white rapper…
Review: Hednoize
Hednoize ““Searching For The End”” (Wax Trax! Records) Industrial Miami Vice meets erie-pop electric drum beats mixed with creepy sound effects and circa 1983 samples. It’s just missing somewhere along the way. I want to say The The minus the…

Review: F-minus
F-minus “Self-Titled” (Hellcat Records) Woooa, check this shit out. F-minus is hardcore, down and dirty garage-punk at its very finest. The songs on their self-titled CD are short, loud, obnoxious and very to the point. Like “Hostage’s” with lyrics, “Fuck…
