Pop punk, glam punk, edgy power pop, however you want to label it, Seattle's BABY AND THE NOBODIES deliver in spades... with just a bit of dirtied up class. "See me coming, ready or not, doesn't matter if you like it or not ..."Rebecca Terry projects with the slightest hint of venom as 'Ready Or Not' kicks off with "Bombs Away," the album's first single. It's also the running theme throughout the record: a little bit of "fuck you, we're already here" crossed ...

Formed for fun while touring as sidemen for Rick Springfield, The Squirts (Matt Bissonette - Lead vocals / bass, George Bernhardt – Guitars and Rodger Carter - Drums) turned to writing their own music and producing their own albums when their “day jobs” as touring and recording musicians (with the likes of David Lee Roth, Elton John, Ringo Starr, John Waite, John 5, ELO, etc) allowed.Recorded on and off over the past several years, ‘III’ is ten tracks of both retro sounding ...

WHITE VINYL- one sidedRUNNIN'SCARED is more than just a musical outlet—it's a way for two longtime friends to share their love for hardcore, stay creative, and keep doing what they've always loved: writing songs together.Though the name may be new, the faces are familiar. Ricky (drums) and Martin (taking care of everything else) first played together back in 1997 in the short-lived band Damage I.D.— and their paths have crossed ever since. Among others, they've been part of bands like Solid Ground, Animal Instinct, Cataract, ...

Abyssal Rift create gut-wrenching, pulverizing death/doom metal that embodies the best aspects of those two styles. The integration is thorough and the marked oscillation between the two happens naturally rather than it being a forced process.For a band of this ilk, the music is far more intricate and involved than it seems, with moments of it being fleshed out or slowed down if only to emphasize the unfathomable heaviness. At other times, the music builds in intensity until it reaches a crescendo, to ...

Carbon Tomb are a new band playing dissonant death metal exuding raw, visceral energy and possessing far more expressive range than most bands in this style. The songs are highly structured and coherent, emphasizing the right moments, and are also comparatively more varied than normal. Without contradicting the sound, they even infuse black metal elements into some songs on this album, rendering it diverse and interesting. For a debut album, their songwriting shines, a result of themembers' experience—one is in Dysgnostic and others are ...

Dysgnostic continue to refine their hypnotic dissonant death metal sound by adding more nuance and structure to it. The music on this album is dense and complex while retaining the cover of darkness. The impassioned, seething riffs light up the proceedings like fireflies buzzing around in an underground cave. The hypnotic quality of the music induces a state of pleasurable numbness where you witness an otherwise harrowing maze of constantly shifting tunes and it all seems perfectly logical and in place. With all this ...

After releasing an astounding debut in "Surveillance Orgy", Swedish death metal band Februus return with a sophomore album that is more mature and consistent, yet just as fascinating and eccentric as one would expect it to be. There are no 15-min songs on this one; most of them in fact happen to last for just around five minutes and Februus make sure that they're nonetheless packed with plenty of deviations and surprises that are of more varied textures and moods than before ...

Ninth Realm from the US erupt on the scene with a scathing form of death/thrash metal music bearing influences of hardcore and heavy metal, with a slight blackened edge. The songs are elaborately constructed, each with their share of hooks and breakdowns in addition to effective and memorable riffing. The music takes a narrative process pertaining to their original dark fantasy world, Tythorin, while being intense and violent for the most part. They draw from the classic old school death/thrash sound without sounding too ...

French band Viande do more than create scarring, wholesome dark and doomy death metal - they delve into the more atmospheric side of things that messes with your consciousness and has potential psychological implications. There's an all too palpable menace in the sound - the aggressive, militaristic approach, the ominous, dread-filled music aided by a combination of abyssal growls and tormented screams, and ultimately, a haunting, eerie atmosphere touched by dissonance that wouldn't be out of place in a horror movie. Viande's music sounds ...
