Demob
Crime Through Time
PunkRecords.net
Originally formed in 1978, Demob went through a few lineup changes over the years, in between break ups of course. They were most currently active in 2005 according to sources I’ve been able to find, although they may very well be kicking at the moment, I’m honestly not sure. Their web presence is [...]

Stukas Over Bedrock
Back to the Stone Age
PunkRecords.net
I admit it, aside from the “Life Like Yogi” EP, I hadn’t heard much from Stukas Over Bedrock. This record is a rerelease of that EP as well as other songs from sessions recorded back in 1983. I’m not usually a big fan of unreleased 80’s punk, mainly [...]

Yeah, yeah. I know, I’ve been pretty lax on doing my mini-reviews over pretty much the entire summer. Well, autumn’s in the air so I’m back to share a bit with recent releases either sent my way or purchased.
No Way Records has some great stuff as usual so let’s go that way, it’ll make an [...]

Seizure Crypt
Hello, My Name Is… Madness
3:16 Productions
Queens, NY band Seizure Crypt has put together their second album, and it’s a heavy blast of metal, rock and hardcore. With a two-vocalist attack over a loud rhythm section and capable guitarist, this is what crossover music should have been instead of the pure metal crap that bands [...]

Bad Brains
Build A Nation
Megaforce
When the Bad Brains reunited for the closing of CBGB’s last year, I expected maybe a mini tour at most. Now back together, they have out their first studio album since 1995’s “God of Love”.
Production by Adam Yauch (he of the Beastie Boys) is decent, and this album is almost enough to [...]

Bovachevo
7 Song CD
By the time I reached the third song on Bovachevo’s seven song CD I must admit that I thought “Jesus, is this all instrumental? Where are the vocals already?”. By the end of the fourth I was past that and really digging the SST vibe. After the whole thing played through I hit [...]

Double Negative
The Wonderful and Frightening World of…
No Way Records
Opening with feedback at the start of “Technically Disfigured” and ending with the same in the under 20 or so minutes it takes to get to “Pond and Prairie”, Double Negative has put together a kick ass debut album. The North Carolina band gets their first album [...]

Guerilla Poubelle
il faut repeindre le monde en noir
Les Disques Electrohoc/Nulle Part
This is a reissue of a 2005 record I hadn’t heard of by a band I didn’t know. From France, Guerilla Poubelle have a handful of releases to their credit, and this is their first full length. I don’t want to compare them to anyone [...]

ANTiSEEN
The Boys From Brutalsville (Reissue)
TKO Records
While I admit to never being a huge ANTiSEEN fan, I remember seeing frontman Jeff Clayton fronting The Murder Junkies not long after G.G. Allin died and wondering if maybe I was missing out on something. Well years passed without me actually checking them out, and I hadn’t thought of [...]
