Henry Rollins
Get in the Van: On the Road with Black Flag
1994 - 2.13.61
I originally purchased the spoken word tape of this when it came out, loved it. Then I picked up the tenth anniversary edition of the book . . . the pictures were nice. Let me start off by saying that I […]

G.B.H.
Race Against Time: The Complete Clay Recordings
Castle

One of the finest of the many British punk metal bands that emerged in the early 1980’s, I’ve always had a soft spot for G.B.H. (or as they were then known, Charged G.B.H.). I even like “A Fridge Too Far”, so my bias may be showing a bit. This […]

The Fall
Reformation! Post-T.L.C.
Narnack
(even a bad Fall album deserves 3 stars)
Not everyone knows it, but The Fall are my favorite band. I like everything, from their early dinky keyboard stuff to their Brix Smith pop period and onto their latest release. As any Fall fan knows though, there are definitely songs and albums that sometimes […]

Admission $7.50
Time: 8:00 PM
I was driving through Northridge, with my wife and son, a week or so back, and as I’m heading down Nordoff I see two young guys on skateboards, they were about ten years old. Nothing out of the ordinary, but what really […]

St. Louis band “Whoppers Taste Good” (or W.T.G.) put out their FC/BM (food-core/beer-metal) EP “Don’t They?” in 1987. The music’s a bit sludgy with some heavy metal riffs and there are some goofy lyrics to go along with it.Their second EP, “Haunting White Castle” came out in 1988. One of the band […]

Monarch
Dead Men Tell No Tales
Crucial Blast

When a two CD set consists of only five songs and lasts for almost two hours you know you’re into some heavy and quite slow shit. This set features two full albums, both previously available on LP only and just now getting the CD treatment. “Speak Of the Sea” is […]

Every once in a while I remember some of the bands I posted on the old incarnation of Strange Reaction and wish I still had them online to share with people who might have missed out. I’ll be upping some of them at random times and filing them under Old Site Memories. The text will […]

Total Fucking Destruction
Zen and the Art of Total Fucking Destruction
Translation Loss Records

Hey, you got your grindcore in my acoustic rock! This is one weird album. Starting off with some heavy and decent grindcore, you are treated to songs such as “Intense Negative Vibe”, “Mad Pig Disease” and “Corpse Position”. So far, so good. Then things […]
