The Beatdown The Beatdown meets Hugo Mudie Stomp Records Street: 05.26 The Beatdown = The Clash + Rancid The Beatdown meets Hugo Mudie is a onetime collaboration between the Montreal ska group and Hugo Mudie (Miracles, Yesterday’s Ring).

Review: Dog Party – Vol. 4
Dog Party Vol. 4 Asian Man Records Street: 06.16 Dog Party = The Muffs + Baby Shakes The beauty here is the power that Dog Party blasts out behind their poppy simplicity. I mean, what’s not to like in an album that is shrouded in the innocence of punchy, heavy guitar riffs and ’90s-influenced punk
