| Antiti-hero�s-"Underneath The Underground" GMM records What�s this? an Oi album that sings about more than beer and doesn�t mind singing about things that could be considered political? Neat, album number 3 makes you remember why you bought the first two records. Try tracks 7, 1, 6, and 12, 13. Oh hell just try the whole fuckin album...you can�t lose. Angry pissed off Vocals, good leads, fast, fast.... Rad. I give it the thumbs up. Dropkick Murphy�s- "The Gang's all Here" Hellcat records It took me a while to get used to Al Barr and the mick combo, but after the initial shock left I was pretty Impressed, Al Barr really came through for us all. if you like the bruisers your gonna love this. Blood for blood-"Living' in Exile" Victory records I�m a die-hard blood for blood fan so I might be a little Biased in this but Holy shit fuck these guys are unstoppable. This is what puts a smile on my face when I go to the record store. Great breakdowns, and with lyrics like "gotta find something to ease my mind in this world of shit" you just can't go wrong. my only complaint is that it�s to short even with the bonus track-nice cover by the way- "ace of spades" . 7 songs.... way too short damnit I know it�s an EP, but I want more. V/a Tribute to The Smiths- "The world still won�t listen� Too dam hype records Anal Cunt,H20, and The Business all covering songs from the band most tough punk rawkers are ashamed to say they like. what more do you have to say oh wait before I get to far into this stop your tape after The Business and you�ll be better for it. Brilliant covers that make Morrisey's effeminate vocals tougher than 2 week old dog poo if your an in the closet fan of the smiths buy this album and maybe just maybe your friends won�t make fun of you any more for listing to that girly man music. They�ll probably still bag on you anyway though. All out war-"For those who were Crucified" Victory records I love these guys intense double bass, good riffs, bitchslappinvocals. metal that reminds me of...I mean hardcore that reminds me of cold as life but without the chills.... these guys could go "all out" ha ha if you have alove for that slice o metal in you HxC buy this album. V/a motorhead tribute-"Built for Speed" Victory records Blood for blood, dropkicks, skarhead...shit you do the math. I�ve never been a big zeke fan but hey not to shabby job on "ill be your sister" fellas... there�s a few lame tracks but you get that on every tribute album i've ever came across I�ve actually never been that big of a motorhead fan but even I had to grab this one...good effort... "Built for speed" (snicker) Sworn Vengeance-�abandon� Westcoast worldwide These guys are lots of fun. Good solid HxC, for the low, Low, price of 11 bucks woohoo. You just gotta love a band that Has vocals that somehow make the words �rage�, �pain�, �Hate�, and �decay� all sound exactly the same. I guess I just have a special place for hardcore bands that might as well be metal. Anyway it�s a dope CD to buy plus they�re hailing from good ol� Sacto so that alone is reason enough to buy it. The Trouble-�Nobody laughs Anymore� GMM records God damnit. This pisses me off, an AMAZING Oi album Great tracks, musically and lyrically they even do a fuckin Cover of Joy divisions �insight� and guess what they fuckin do? Break up. That just fuckin figures. Anyway, I would list some Tracks for you to listen to but they are all pretty dope. These Guys would definitely win the Pepsi challenge. Youthful Offenders �Domination� Vulture rock Ok, these guys kick mucho ass. I especially dig �Thugs not Drugs� damn good effort on this album. V/A �Pure Punk� Cyclone Records I think I bought this for like 5 bucks whatta bargain. Lots Of big names like the Ducky boys, Bruisers, The Randumbs, Guttersnipe gets some glory for �pride & dignity� nice track. Overall I�d have to give this a thumbs up. Billyclub �Serve Loud� Coldfront Records Wow these guys sure are familiar with the use of cymbals. Not too bad thoughI kinda dig it. Little too much weird guitar shit for me though. Track 7 is pretty tight If you�re into rock n rolly punk rawk go buy this. remember catching these guys live at some ass show, they were pretty tight live but that�s about all I can remember. Electric Frankenstein �I�m not your (nothing)� Victory Records |
Supposedly I saw this band, I can�t remember though. Although from this short 3 song freebie CD I guess I should have stayed away from the bar that time. Not to bad punk stuff little bit too poppy and there�s a few goofy riffs but overall not to bad. I like the tubes cover. |

| The Forgotten-�Veni Vidi Vici� TKO Records �Won�t stay long� is a tight little punk song. I have to say I do dig these guys It�s basically pretty tight, you can tell they spend a lot of time drinking shitty beer though. It all flows pretty well though. Lots of �whooooahs� and gritty punk rock vocals. Sounds like there screaming �cheap trick� over and over on one of their tracks that cracked me up for a good 15 minutes. Good sing along crap for the car. The Randumbs-�In search of the abominable Sonoman� TKO Records I think by the third track I knew I was going to give this CD a rad review. These guys are Fucking great. If you haven�t seen them, drop the nasty ice take a shower and go catch these guys. �I need a beer� is a lyrical masterpiece. That track is a piccaso in a world of �alien smoking pot� velvet posters. This album rocks. It�s quickly becoming a contender in my stereo at home. The Truents-�Everyday of the week� TKO Records I�m kind of surprised that I never heard of these guys before. Nice little street punk band. I guess that would be my only complaint is that they can get a little typical, but overall they�re pretty nice. The Beltones-�On Deaf Ears� TKO Records These guys rock live, I saw them at the purple onion I think last year or so. They have some pretty gritty vocals, which is always good especially when itt�s not so gritty that I can understand the lyrics. Musically pretty tight. Reducers S.F. �backing the longshot� TKO Records First off I have to admit I do find this stuff catchy despite a few flaws. They seem to have this thing for using the same leads over and over so it seems like your listening to one continuous song over and over. also the Vocals seem a little to poppy for me but I like em regardless. I Caught these Guys live one time when they played with the Authority, I think I prefer these guys live. Seems like it�s geared for the sing-along crowd. Cute. Youth Defense League-�American History Live from CBGB�s 1987-1988) Vulture Rock What to say about this album. Deffinatly a favorite In my collection. Very nice addition. Go buy this, you Can�t go wrong. The Authority-�On Glory�s side�� Outsider Records Despite the goofy picture on the back of the album, This album Fucking rocks out with it�s cock out I saw these cats once at the Press club here in sacto and I was a little disapointed that they didn�t draw that big of a crowd except for the usual skinhead Attendence because these guys deserve it. This is a tight album. I don�t really care for the �guns of navarone� cover though�. Lower Class Brats- �Rather be hated than Ignored� GMM Records Ok, before I even go into this review I got to say I remember the First time I saw these cats live. They put on a great fucking show. Lots of energy all around. Since that first faithful time I saw them my attidude towards there live performance has never waivered . These guys are great live. So I picked up there cd and I have to say it does have a special place in my heart, at time it can seem a little silly with the organ and whatnot but still well worth the listen. Side note the song itself might be a little obvious but the track �ultraviolence� oh yeah, �who writes your rules� is fucking rad in my opinion pretty damn tight. Good ol� oi oi music with a heavy punk influnce. I liked it so much I put a seven inch of theirs on order��nuff said. Rice-�Fuck you this is rice� Lookout Records Ok, So this album �may- be a tad old to review fuck it. Go buy this shit. My good friend Spanky Turned me on to this band a while back, so I ordered it. 17 total tracks all tight HxC style music, but here�s the kicker every song is dedicated to �rice�. FUCKING HILARIOUS. Grand songs like �Grain of strength�, �all steamed up�, �stick together� and so on. Not just some weird collector�s novelty album, oh no. Musically tight also. Go buy this shit Beeeyoutch! BeerZone-�They came,they saw, they conquered� TKO Records Holy shit I dig these guys. Finally something different from the usual tired same sounding bands. These guys are hilarious. I saw em live with uh�Blood for Blood and Dropkicks, They didn�t get near the crowd response that they deserved�most likely because no one heard of them but FUCK. They do a neat cover of ace of spades in I guess what's a �secret� track . |
Oxymoron �WestWorld� Cyclone Records Another good effort by these guys�wow they even use oh so complex sampling in their first track. The Ducky Boys �Live: from the banks of the river charles� Outsider records Ok, I�m now convienced that these guys should never do another studio album EVER again. These guys are 500% better live. And this EP shows it in full. I�m always a wee bit disapointed in there studio albums compared to there live sound, but fuck it that�s life. This is a damn good cd. These guys are so fucking rock and rolly�it�s crazy�There is also a cover of the wanderer song. (I.e. im da type o guy�lalala) Oh the cult classic movies connection broadens that much more. The Wretched Ones �We don�t belong to Nobody� Headache Records Not their best release, but still pretty good. Check out tracks 1, 2, 8, and 13. Gritty vocals, Sometimes a little too much. Moloko men �drunk and poor� Vulture rock I got to say I truly dug this album. I�ve heard some people complain that their a little bland every day oi, but I love it. Check out �clockwork ultra Violence� and �boys of the boot�. Youthful Offenders �Domination� Vulture rock Ok, these guys kick mucho ass. I especially dig �Thugs not Drugs� . Damn good effort on this album. |
