Review: White Reaper – White Reaper Does It Again
White Reaper White Reaper Does It Again Polyvinyl Records Street: 07.17 White Reaper = King Tuff + Ty Segall / Hunx and His Punx The album title of White Reaper’s follow-up tells a painstaking story: Reaper is content with recycling the same approach they presented to us with their debut.

Wiegedood De Doden Hebben Het Goed Consouling Sounds Street: 05.08 Wiegedood = Gorgoroth + Merrimack Wiegedood play a furious style of black metal that has an inherent viciousness.

Wino & Conny Ochs Freedom Conspiracy Exile On Mainstream Street: 03.27 Wino & Conny Ochs = Townes Van Zandt + acoustic Nirvana – Black Label Conspiracy Scotty ‘Wino’ Weinrich, known in doom rock circles, and German singer/songwriter Conny Ochs, combine to create a raw, rootsy conspiratorial collaboration, which saw their tour with Black Label Society
Review: Violent Femmes – Happy New Year EP
Violent Femmes Happy New Year EP Add It Up Productions Street: 04.21 Violent Femmes = Camper Van Beethoven – Cracker + David Lowery Violent Femmes are a band from a different, simpler time, when indie/alternative rock was fairly indistinguishable from old style rock n’ roll, and enjoying music wasn’t the complicated wading through a thicket
