Dude…. Opeth??

Snoozefest!

I-DEFY “The Lessons of Life’s Brutal Become Guides to Action”

This was one of those neat releases that when it arrived, the artwork, band name, album, song titles, and so forth, gave absolutely no indication what kind of style of music this band played. It’s definitely refreshing to see a band not get up in the repetitive patterns of “dude, we need to make it [...]

INDK “Kill Whitey!”

Go-Kart records has gone through quite the transformation in the past years. Although the label has always been aligned strongly to the punker side of things, nearly all traces of the label’s past rendez-vous’ with pop have been eliminated without a trace. As a testament to that, INDK, much like their former brethern in CHOKING [...]

Since it cycled off the news page….

I HATE YOU “Discography 1995 – 1998″

Although I didn’t know them as people, I can’t help but remain fixated on the “tough-guy” persona I HATE YOU oozed of. Maybe that’s to be blamed on their Philly heritage (or [...]

IN DYING DAYS “Life as a Balancing Act”

Onedaysavior has been a beacon of finding good talent for a few years now, and with this debut disc from IN DYING DAYS, their hot streak is allowed to continue. These five guys hail from Montreal, a scene I wouldn’t normally associate to be strong in the melodic metalcore category, but apparently someone’s been studying [...]

INTERNATIONAL NOISE CONSPIRACY “A New Morning, Changing Weather”

Mmmm….do ya smell that? I believe it’s called hype. With the exception of the long-time running punk giants on Epitaph’s roster, I can’t think of another band that they work with that has generated as much interest as these guys have in recent months. After the extremely impressive and popular “Survival Sickness,” “A New Morning, [...]
