Leftover Crack and Choking Victim were pretty solid bands spreading the message of crust in as nasty a way as possible. Both were acts led by Scott Sturgeon, better known as Stza.

This Pennsylvania-based band knows how to open an EP, that’s for sure. “Enough” storms out through the gates with loud guitars, fast drums and gritty vocals.

On “Invisible Girl” King Khan and Mark “BBQ” Sultan are back with another tribute to 50s and 60s garage rock, real r&b and doo wop.

Back in the 90s there was an explosion of alternative rock that I – just getting into music – devoured.

With six studio albums under their belt, a greatest hits album is a pretty obvious and easy release.

This Boston outfit made quite an impression on me with their full-length debut “Travels”. Now they quite simply come out with a release with an even bigger impact. As if it’s nothing to them.

Wow, what the hell happened to these guys?

After having been around for barely two years, things are moving pretty smoothly for this trio consisting of Russell Marsden, Matt Hayward and one chica muy guapa, Emma Richardson .

As much as I liked albums like “Crimson” and “Agony & Irony” (and I do like them a whole lot), I first fell in love with Alkaline Trio’s older releases. Albums like “Goddamnit”.

25 Years ago I had never even heard of hardcore because I was only five years old.
