Lovehatehero - Just Breathe... CD
|
2/22/2012 by Paul from College Place, WA |
 |
| Nothing that Lovehatehero has done really beats "America Underwater"'s select few awesome tracks. I was disappointed with this album but that is my fault for buying it without listening to it first. Still a great band. |

Foxy Shazam - The Church Of Rock And Roll CD
|
2/22/2012 by Paul from College Place, WA |
 |
| I would have to say this album is very fun and easy to listen to. I enjoy the catchy riffs & sweet melodies of Foxy Shazam! The trumpets really add a lot of life to the songs and the piano always rocks! Great band! Will definitely get well known in a matter of time! This newest album is fantastic! |
 |

Go Radio - Do Overs And Second Chances CD
|
2/22/2012 by Paul from College Place, WA |
 |
| Jason Lancaster's vocals are what made Mayday Parade as great as they are. I am glad Jason has his new band GO RADIO, now. This band will get far! Very powerful debut EP! Very moving material and very heartfelt. Best E.P. I have ever owned! |
 |

Hawk Nelson - Letters To The President (Deluxe) CD
|
2/22/2012 by Paul from College Place, WA |
 |
| One of the most underrated pop punk bands in my opinion. This CD is awesome. Not just for Christians but for everyone. I think that is why they are underrated, because of their known Christian background. That is a silly reason to not like a band and recognize talent. Hawk Nelson wins big with this album! |
 |

Four Year Strong - Enemy Of The World CD
|
2/22/2012 by Paul from College Place, WA |
 |
| I do like this album very much. I would say about 5 or 6 songs really scream FYS! Really syour attention! Great for working out! Gets you pumped up! I can do without the rest of the album. |
 |

Four Year Strong - Rise Or Die Trying CD
|
2/22/2012 by Paul from College Place, WA |
 |
| This album is by far the best of Four Year Strong. I do like their newer stuff, no doubt, but for some reason this album hits perfect in my opinion from start to finish. I love these guys. |
 |

Taking Back Sunday - Taking Back Sunday CD
|
2/22/2012 by Paul from College Place, WA |
 |
| Even though it is the original Taking Back Sunday Line Up I still think the band is lacking the ingredient that made them amazing. I like the first few tracks but after that it gets pretty weak. Honestly, Fred needs to be back in this band. |
 |

Riccobellis - Booze-Up With Dee Dee Ramone CD
|
2/20/2012 by Eddie from Hanover Park, IL |
 |
| She's Knitting My Doom was my favorite song on the record. Annie doesn't love me I think is the last rack...that one was really fun too. Its kinda hit or miss throughout the album, actually these two songs I mentioned are by far the standout tracks. I am going to space is the opening track and gets a little too repetitive for my liking. Regardless, if you a re a three chord punk rocker like I am please get this cd and support the pop punk scene. For fans of Mutant Pop stuff, Kobanes, Groovie Ghoulies, Teen Idols, Queers, Manges, RAMONES!!! |

Title Fight - Shed CD
|
2/20/2012 by Eddie from Hanover Park, IL |
 |
| this album was awesome. I still think the collection cd before this was better,but that's really hard to beat. Every time I see them I have a great time and glad they are getting more popular because they definitely deserve it. If you like Lifetime or old Saves The Day you will dig this a lot. The vocals are a bit more hardcore but its got a lot of hooks and sing a long choruses. Transit, Wonder Years fans will eat this up too. |
 |

Duracel - La Fabbrica Dei Mostri CD
|
2/20/2012 by Eddie from Hanover Park, IL |
 |
| this first thing I noticed with this record are the great solos. I don't speak Italian so I can't understand a word, but if you are a fan of all kinda of punk rock like I am you will enjoy this for sure. Its recorded very well with a heavy Teenage Bottlerocket sound. If you like this you should check out Riccobellis & Kobanes too!! Italy keeps putting out great pop punk. |
 |

20belows/Zatopeks - Split 7''
|
2/20/2012 by Eddie from Hanover Park, IL |
 |
| really good songs by both bands. the 20 belows stuff sounds a lot more poppy than the more recent full length albums. I prefer this sound a lot. If you are a fan of the Peabodys you will probably enjoy this stuff too. Zatopeks side is good too. White wax!! |
 |

Bollox - Bollox CD
|
2/18/2012 by Stan from Everett, WA |
 |
| not a bad album overall.about 6 really good songs out of the 11.actually 10, one song is a short instrumental. |
 |

War Master - Pyramid Of The Necropolis LP
|
2/18/2012 by Nora from Lansing, MI |
 |
| I cannot deny the huge Bolt Thrower worship on this lp, and I like that. If you can stand a band doing that, here you go. Awesome old school death metal with heavy nods to B.T. Possibly way down the line these guys tie in with the Insect Warfare crew, they have a sister band called Dissent that rips on the crusty tip. |
 |

Trash Talk - Eyes & Nines LP
|
2/18/2012 by Nora from Lansing, MI |
 |
| I saw these guys recently, having never heard them before, and I liked it. Having been told the kids were gaga for them made me aprehensive. Checked out the back catalogue and most definitely like to start my fandom right here with this lp. I like the slow breaks when they throw in some bl'ast/black flag sludge. The older stuff is just a blurr with not much to separate it from the rest. Cool stuff. |
 |

X - Under The Big Black Sun (180 Gram Vinyl) LP
|
2/18/2012 by Nora from Lansing, MI |
 |
| In my opinion X got better with every release apexing right here. Real songs, good mix of some country, and damn tuneful. Big ups to Biggie & Tupac. |
 |

Teenage Bottlerocket - Mutilate Me 7''
|
2/18/2012 by Nora from Lansing, MI |
 |
| This is a quickie, at least it lets me know that Fat hasn't killed TBR yet, like they've done to so many modern signings. Stoked to see if the new album is as good. The B.R. cover is kinda meh. |
 |

Wino - Adrift LP
|
2/18/2012 by Nora from Lansing, MI |
 |
| Old school cred hessian jams unplugged. If you liked The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, The Hidden Hand, Place Of Skulls, and so on, this is a nice jam. |
 |

Copyrights - North Sentinel Island CD
|
2/14/2012 by Chris from Salt Lake City, UT |
 |
| North Sentinel Island is definitely a different sounding Copyrights cd than their past efforts. However, it's not really too much different because i can't exactly point out what makes it sound so different. The songs seem maybe a little more "mature" and have less of a punk sound........Even though it's still an undeniably punk record similar to Teenage Bottlerocket and those bands (which i'm not too keen on). But i've always like The Copyrights. I really enjoy this album and i think it just goes to show that out of all the crop of bands on Red Scare and other labels reviving this sound, they've probably got the most depth. Old Copyrights fans should like this and fans of pop-punk shall rejoice! |

Sharks - The Joys Of Living 2008 - 2010 CD
|
2/14/2012 by Chris from Salt Lake City, UT |
 |
| There seems to be a lot of hype around this band right now. Personally, i don't find these songs too great. It reminds me of midwestern-punk with some indie-rock influence. However, there are moments and songs on this collection that get me exited to check out their new album. Either way, it's 40,000x better than most of the shit on Rise Records. |

Mighty Mighty Bosstones - A Jackknife To A Swan CD
|
2/14/2012 by Chris from Salt Lake City, UT |
 |
| So recently i went on an interpunk binge - buying albums from bands that i once owned in the past as well as new things to check out. This being one i've owned and remembered enjoying. And even though ska interests me as about as much as a wet potato these days, i'm glad i went back to this. A Jacknife To A Swan is not only better than i remembered but i was extremely exited while listening to it. I've always at least checked out what the Bosstones are up to and this was probably their last good album but it's a REALLY good one. So if you've never heard it but have heard anything previous then snag this. You'll enjoy. |
