Having recently seen Dinosaur Jr live, I can tell you that their shows are indeed loud.

Even though they already garnered some rave reviews with their debut EP “Brothel Ballet”, it took these UK youngsters six years to record their first full-length.

Trophy Wives is fronted by Billy Bisig, who played bass for a while in Elliott. That’s funny if you think about it because they were an emo band back when emo was not yet a dirty word.

Not only do these guys have a funny name, they play some solid powerpop that’s as punky as it is garage-y. Is that a word? Well, you know what I mean.

Ever came across people who said that listening to punkrock is gay? Well yes, I guess it is if you are listening to High Dive.

Let me just say right off the bat that No Motiv is one of the most underrated bands I know.

The Minutes are what happens when three Dublin punks try their hand at playing rock n roll. While there are just four songs on here, it does paint a clear picture of what this band is about.

When singer/guitarist Barrie Cadogan wasn’t busy playing shows with Morrissey, Paul Weller or Primal Scream, he was working on new material for his own band, Little Barrie.

After four full-lengths on Victory, The Audition’s new EP really does mark a new chapter for the band.

Static Radio NJ was already a great band when they were tossing their Lifetime and Kid Dynamite influences around like it was nothing, but they have truly exceeded themselves on “We Are All Beasts”
