Pupil Slicer – Mirrors (Powerviolence Mathcore and Grind with a Purpose)

  Ah so glad I received this so everyone can STFU that I don’t review music of this type. I just rarely get the good stuff. How many times do I have to say that? I guess every time since people tend to stop here once in their life for that one thing they heard […]

Tithe – Penance (No One Will Like You Metal)

  At first I was getting annoyed by all the Jef Whitehead covers I was seeing in 43% of the promos I’ve had come in (that’s exact math) and then I scoped this one and was like “okay, I get it.” What a perfect arrangement! And what a great example of how cover art can […]

Surge – Demo 2020 (Ungentrified Noise Punk)

  After deciding against one of the albums I had in the queue for review this week I was like, man I need some punk you know? So I dug around and this one popped up out of an unmarked grave. Lol wow. I’m not even sure where to begin with it, even though in […]

Quick Reviews – September 2017

In case you missed it, we do special, short reviews now of stuff that’s not up to the standards I set for full reviews. Meaning, the cover art sucks. This doesn’t mean the music isn’t any good, of course, but as you know, at least 1/4 of an album’s presence is in its art, a […]

Ape Unit – Turd

Grindcore is dragging on its last legs.  Scratch that, it didn’t have any legs over the past ten years, it was a mere torso with arms.  Now those arms are gone, and it’s ground its lower half into so many surfaces it’s about up to its neck, close to the brain, where it can finally […]

CASSETTE ASSAULT – Speed it Up, Slow it Down!

Yes, you are correct, it’s that time again.  Time to pull out the altar that is your tape deck, whatever its size, whatever its age, though we prefer original hardware.  In fact, you know what, you’re out of the cult if you don’t have a deck from the 1980s, so check it right now.  Good? […]

Cassette Assault – Hit It Hard With Sludge

In the past, when we’ve tossed tapes purposefully at your face; sometimes it’s been a hit, sometimes a miss, depending on the tape.  This time we didn’t want that, we wanted it all. no misses.  As the tapes come in, as well as anything else, we’re picky now, preferring to review what we see in a positive […]

Boddicker – Crime Upheaval

It’s too bad this cassette is sold out and anyone who now wants to listen to it has to resort to, pfff, digital.  Boddicker, get with the times.  Listen, anything like has to be listened to on at least vinyl or cassette.  It can’t be any other way, especially since they use Detroit as an […]

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 […]

Scaredycat: run.

Wife was stoked about this.  Why?  Sticker.  We need stickers for our scooter.  Unfortunately, this sticker is not being placed there, at least not yet.  Why?  Because I was stoked too, but cold water was tossed all over my naked body.  Nothing beats some good spazz, and yep, not only the promo sheet says it, […]
