10 Reasons Why Disney’s Frozen SUCKS AND WILL ALWAYS SUCK

I can’t believe this is happening.  Why in the Hell are we bothering with this stupid review?  Whatever, anyway, that’s right, this article deserved a full-out CAPS assault to get your attention, and also to get more hits on Google.  Sometimes we do odd things around here.  We’re sure you all feel cool being ultra […]

My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult: Spooky Tricks

My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, which we’ll hereafter refer to as ‘The Kult’ to save some space, is easily one of the most influential, and perhaps the most prolific band the electronic underground has ever seen.  Since their groundbreaking work in the 80s and 90s with such legendary tunes as “The Day of […]

Interview with Fist Fight in the Parking Lot

Ah, the Pittsburgh scene.  I (editor) grew up near the good old steel city, and friends and I would frequently check out shows there in the old Millvale Industrial Theater when you could see billings of noise or anything from Nunslaughter to A.C. (sometimes at the same time, true story), depending on the day.  Pittsburgh […]

Rapegoat: S/T

Rapegoat: S/T

Something about this album made me hate it at first (editor), and it seems to be an unusual conflict we usually don’t see around here.  This was largely due to the appearance of the “should I review this?” question because I know one of the guys in it.  But in our quest to be completely […]

Shock Waves (VHS)

Shock Waves (VHS)

Ummm…hmm.  Here’s a film lots of people wonder about.  And if they’ve seen it, they usually rave about it.  “Oh shit Shock Waves,” they’ll say, most likely.  In fact I (editor) can remember my brother and I at the old rental place always wondering about it, but for some reason never checking it out in […]

Wreck of the Hesperus: Light Rotting Out

Wreck of the Hesperus: Light Rotting Out

Anyone who doesn’t enjoy this album and pretends to understand depressing funeral doom is full of crap.  So full of crap.  We’re talking like your DNA is literally crap if you say such a thing.  Your parents were no better than the C.H.U.D. that spews the bile-ridden sewage that led to there actually being a […]

Odradek Room: Bardo. Relative reality

Odradek Room: Bardo. Relative reality

No no no, we didn’t improperly write the title, that’s how it appears verbatim on the album cover, so give us a break.  We don’t correct grammar and syntax errors of bands if they’re being “artistic” for us.  Especially if they assist us with their knowledge, explaining the meaning of the Tibetan word ‘bardo’ on which […]

Lycanthia: Oligarchy

Lycanthia: Oligarchy

Sometimes we kind of have this “thing” for Gothic metal, especially of the black variety, or perhaps with a touch of “the doom” for extra thickness.  When properly combined these things create  a tragic beast.  It’s the kind of thing denied by God as something which may exist, the kind of thing that gets you […]

Interview with The Teeth (Not Those Indie Guys)

Interview with The Teeth (Not Those Indie Guys)

With all the post-hardcore and hardcore mess we tend to receive around here, it was inevitable that we at Deaf Sparrow would receive a submission from a band that was one, not French, and two, good.  That would be The Teeth, whose second full-length we reviewed a few weeks ago.  With a new tour coming […]

Compilation Dissertation: Fuck the Underground Volume 1

Compilation Dissertation: Fuck the Underground Volume 1

New feature folks, and here it is.  Sometimes we get compilations around here, and we’re always at odds with how to exactly approach a review.  Do we simply go over it as any submission, picking out a few tidbits on which you may gnaw?  A few stale crumbs on which you may piss?  And then […]
