Review: Decontrol – The Final War
Decontrol “The Final War” CD This record has four different illustrations of gas masks, and I’m beginning to wonder why they are so popular on T-shirts and record covers. It’s probably because gas masks are the last thing punks see before the riot police hose them down with pepper spray. Decontrol know exactly how to get
Review: Delays – Faded Seaside Glamour
DELAYS FADED SEASIDE GLAMOUR Rough Trade Undoubtedly the Delays will draw comparisons to The Byrds, love children and braided hair adorned with flowers in the pre-Altamont 60s due to the cascading of songs like “Nearer than Heaven.” Which I suppose is fine as long as you’re not intending it as an insult. Personally, I hear

Review: Demonoid – Riders Of The Apocalypse
Demonoid Riders Of The Apocalypse Nuclear Blast If I had to guess what a side-band made up of members of the band Therion would sound like, the last thing I would guess is Demonoid’s Riders Of The Apocalypse—especially after Therion’s latest, the double album Lemuria/Sirius B. Demonoid is Kristian Niemann (guitar), Johan Niemann (bass) and
Review: Depeche Mode – Remixes 81-04
Depeche Mode Remixes 81-04 Reprise There are a thousand official and unofficial Depeche Mode remixes floating around in the stratosphere and to try and make a single disc compilation of highlights is a rather daunting task. I know because I’ve made a few of my own over the years. This official compilation of highlights isn’t

Review: Dead Ending – DE II
This second EP by Dead Ending pairs Aritcles of Faith’s Vic Bondi’s grinding voice with an all-star cast of punk musicians. The end result is a furious, aggressive and lightning-quick batch of songs that straddle the line between 80s hardcore and modern punk. … read more
Review: Deathfix – Self-Titled
Let’s face it—no one’s favorite member of Fugazi is Brendan Canty. Hell, even the guy’s mother probably prefers Guy Picciotto. Yet here we are with the self-titled release by Canty’s glam band, Deathfix. And glam is the correct description, even if the music tends to deal with weightier subject matter than anything Slade ever put out. … read more
Review: Destroy This Place – Destroy This Place
If Destroy this Place came out in the late ’90s or early ’00s, it would have been cozy snuggling up between Ozma and Green Day on my CD rack. Musically, not much sets this album apart from earlier power-pop, but vocally, a few tracks stand out. … read more
