Chvad SB – Crickets Were the Compass
Holy living God, this is probably the worst album cover we’ve ever seen. So bad, in fact, it’s the sole reason this album didn’t get a perfect score. Now, hey, hey now, wait up, we love the music, but it deserved something better! Something with this much value musically needs a proper visual representation. In […]

Magnetic Stripper – Extended Play-R
In the world of experimental music you have MLG and you nave n00bs. Unfortunately, the latter tends to dominate the field, simply because everyone thinks it’s so easy to do.

Interview With Regarde les Hommes Tomber (France Is Here to Destroy)
How many times have we said now that French post-hardcore is of the world-dominating caliber? We try our best to not be redundant, but God help us is it possible as human beings? You get up, you sleep, you eat, you have babies, really we all do it, right? So why not do it with […]

Infectious Garage Disease – S/T
Albums like this are incredibly hard to review. You can’t simply listen to them, toss out the score, dish out some silly words, and call it a day. This kind of thing requires a bit of thought, because it’s not your normal release. Infectious Garage Disease was barely a footnote in the Sacramento, California punk […]
