"What Are You Listening To?" by The Kinison

Man, these guys are unbelievable! My band, Raining Jade, had the privilege of playing on the same bill with these guys a few months back and they just blew me away and got me addicted. When I saw them play again with the band Momma, it made me want to be a part of that same energetic power that th... [More]

"Where You Want to Be" by Taking Back Sunday

Back when I was in High School, "Emo" was still an underground movement and you were considered "cool" and "not trendy" if you listened to it, or even knew about any of the bands. Flash forward four years later and now Emo is the new grunge/alternative of this decade. All over the radio, MTV, and MT... [More]

"Tyrannosaurus Hives" by The Hives

Say what you will about The Hives lead singer Howlin' Pelle Almqvist being nothing but a mini Mick, but the dude's got pizzazz. Sure his cocksure swagger brings to mind the essence of Jagger, but big deal! At least he's a breath of fresh air in this bubble gum pop world we live in. Four years (two f... [More]

"Alone With the Alone" by Time In Malta

I wonder if Equal Vision records are really worried about Armageddon or something because it seems that they have been stock-piling a shit load of bands lately. With heavy hitters Coheed and Cambria, Alexisonfire, Vaux, and Bear vs. Shark tearing around it looks like Equal Vision is about to reign t... [More]

"Good Mourning" by Alkaline Trio

When I was in High School in California (which wasn't too long ago), the Chicago-based Alkaline Trio was one of those bands that all the cool kids (and the wannabe that I was) liked because no one else really knew about them. After all, they weren't on the radio or MTV at the time. I remember thin... [More]

"Drive by Monologue" by The Hurt Process

Judging by the cover of the CD and the fact that these guys are on Victory Records, one might assume that they're a straight-up hard-core band. The Hurt Process, like so many other bands these days, combine the hard-core with a more melodic sound which features more singing and less screaming. In... [More]

"Ima Robot" by Ima Robot

Man, this has got to be one the weirdest albums I've heard in a long time. Not that I didn't enjoy it, in fact Ima Robot's self-titled debut is likable for the same reason MTV's Jackass or The Bam Show are. They all feature originality, strangeness, and elements that you wouldn't ordinarily expect... [More]

"Porcelain" by Sparta

Sparta's second release Porcelain, provides all the evidence necessary to conclude that when At the Drive-In broke up, Cedric Bixler and Omar Rodriguez took all the creativity and originality with them to Mars Volta. I was willing to forgive Sparta (Jim Ward, Tony Hajjar and Paul Hinojos all former... [More]

"The Spine" by They Might Be Giants

Having already released albums by The Bodeans and Cowboy Junkies in the month previous, Zoe records proves that they're out to assimilate prominent late 80's/early 90's bands one at a time as they now release a new album by They Might Be Giants. The years have not been kind to this quirky Boston duo... [More]

"The Moving Units" by The Moving Units

The last couple of years has definitely seen a rebirth of the U.K. post-punk sound of the early 80s. The classic post-punk bands took the raw rebellion and harshness, ran it through the planer a few times to smooth it out and gave it a couple valiums to calm and tone it down a bit. Interpol may...

"The Tipping Point" by The Roots

Only a year and a half after releasing the excellently painstaking perfection of Phrenology, Philly's finest The Roots are back with a looser-feeling follow-up in the form of The Tipping Point. The Roots are down to a four piece now that Malik B. and Rahzel are gone, but that doesn't stop them from... [More]

"I Don't Know You" by Lola Ray

Coming from Good Charlotte's newly-owned record label DC Flag, Lola Ray reminds me of all those forgettable bands that came out during and right after the grunge/alternative revolution that were generic, formulaic, and all sounded the same. However, I used to buy all those bands' used CDs from the... [More]

"Devout: The Modern Hymn" by Scatter The Ashes

Scatter the Ashes may be on Epitaph, but they're definitely not your average punk band. These guys prove that since their music is so creative and amazing, there's absolutely no way to pigeon-hole them into any one genre. They cover all different kinds of territory, from heavy metal to punk to new... [More]

"A Match and Some Gasoline" by Suicide Machines

Suicide Machines, appropriately enough are a Detroit-based ska-punk outfit that have been creating wonderfully influential music since 1991. Their first two albums, 1996's Destruction by Definition and 1998's Battle Hymns, blended the metallic edge of hard-core with the upbeat liveliness of ska.... [More]

"Love is Worth It" by Silent Drive

Silent Drive is another one of those great bands that mixes the tones of emo-indie rock with hard-edged guitars and drums of the hardcore, Tool-inspired metal sound. Made up of members from the short-lived band Ink Cartridge Funeral; Silent Drive have that wonderful style where the songs are all ov... [More]
