It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Boss Hog energies, virtually a rebirth. Boss Hog CD - one of the best in Rock: Punk-Rock. It has been nine years Boss Hog’ last studio CD, “Boss Hog” which won Billboard Music Award and was nominated for album of the year. Overall, I would highly recommend Boss Hog CD.
One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Sick. Beehive had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Ski Bunny - My least favorite song on this album. Green Shirt (1:51) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! I Dig You - For me, this is the best of the album. Try One is beautiful, yet underrated track. What The Fuck is simple, dignified and effective, Boss Hog refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. White Sand - a classic song. I Idolize You is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Punkture is probably one of Boss Hog’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. A unique and uplifting song. Walk In - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Sam is a song to enjoy for years to come.

This is the first studio album from Good Riddance since bad diagnosis in 1995. I am not a real Rock: Punk-Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘For God And Country’ really is amazing. This disc has all of the essential Good Riddance classics. Last Hot Album by Good Riddance
It’s a great pleasure to listen to Better from the beginning to the end. From the moment you listen to All Fall Down you’re hooked. Good Riddance is one of artists that allow his songs like United Cigar to stand on their own and be heard. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Boys And Girls is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Still going through For God And Country and coming to appreciate Mother Superior more and more with every listen. Twelve Year Circus - another great track from the For God And Country album. I loved Man Of God the first time I heard it. Lisa is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. October is the albums biggest surprise.

Self-described as Rock: Punk-Rock with lots of words, Bad Religion comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. There is so much to love about Bad Religion, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. This is the first studio album from Bad Religion since bad diagnosis in 1995. If you want to hear real Rock: Punk-Rock, get this record now!
This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. First time I heard You Are The Government was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Once Modern Man gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. Were Only Gonna Die is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. I believe The Answer is one of the most perfect, heartfelt songs ever written. Voice and instruments in Flat Earth Society complement each other. Some call Against The Grain from All Ages as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Bad Religion has astounded me with this amazing track. Anesthesia is cool work of Bad Religion. In Suffer you won’t find any flashy solos. In Faith Alone Bad Religion is at his best. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. 21st Century Digital Boy has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. Atomic Garden is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. No Direction stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. Automatic Man is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Bad Religion ever produced. Best song on the album, love it. Sanity on All Ages is solid and easy to listen to. Music of Walk Away is gentle, never overbearing. Best For You is Bad Religion’s best work in years. Fuck Armageddon… is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit.

fifteen years ago, The Circle Jerks briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Anxious Boy”. There is no doubt that The Circle Jerks has talent and Oddities, Abnormalities, and Curiosities is great.This is one of the best Cd’s The Circle Jerks has dropped to date. Oddities, Abnormalities, and Curiosities is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Anxious Boy. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: 22, which shows, blatantly, how much The Circle Jerks has evolved as a singer. Shining Through the Door is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. Some call I Wanna Destroy You from Oddities, Abnormalities, and Curiosities as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Sinking SHP is marvelous song though, very addictive. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. In Fable the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. This song stands out greatly from the others. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Exhaust Breath is perfect and different song. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit.

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by MxPx. You need to listen Teenage Politics. It’s really cool. There is so much to love about MxPx, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Teenage Politics is the best album I have heard in a long time
Put Do & Don’t into car stereo for your highway driving Some of the arrangements found on Teenage Politics are surprisingly edgy. Punk Rawk Show - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. False Fiction is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Falling Down is a strong cut, one of many. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Money Tree because the melody in the chorus is so good. Rainy Day is possibly the best song MxPx has come up. Like Sand Through The Hourglass… So Are The Days Of Our Lives is a excellent song and it grows on you. Democracy is the first taste of the new album. Something More is a great opener for Teenage Politics. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Misunderstanding is absolutely incredible. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Study Humans. Album opener Inquiring Minds Want To Know is a bright, upbeat ditty. Nice and different song. Some call Americanism from Teenage Politics as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Bonus Track - MxPx first major hit.

Great album A Texas Battle Of The Bands! - just must listen it! Since completing 1995’s ‘A Taste Of The Same’, Bad Seeds And Zakary Thaks fulfilled their contract with Comedy Central Records and where under no obligation to release another album. IF YOU LIKE ALL Bad Seeds And Zakary Thaks’S SONG GO FOR IT! A Texas Battle Of The Bands! is the best album I have heard in a long time
I’m A King Bee is probably one of Bad Seeds And Zakary Thaks’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Only one song from A Texas Battle Of The Bands! named All Night Long really got me. Sick And Tired is marvelous and different song. Zilch Part I one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. What sets Zilch Part 2 apart is Bad Seeds And Zakary Thaks’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Sock It To Me Baby good vocals. Love Is A Beautiful Thing is a song to enjoy for years to come. Mustang Sally without a doubt is the standout song of A Texas Battle Of The Bands!. First time I heard 3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.All of songs on A Texas Battle Of The Bands! and have something to say letting alone My Little Red Book. I’m A Man is really a nice song to relax and listen too.

Self-described as Rock: Punk-Rock with lots of words, Toy Dolls comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Toy Dolls energies, virtually a rebirth. I think this is best Rock: Punk-Rock album. Exciting stuff.
Poltergeist In The Pantry is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Please Release Me–Darling I L gives good insight into the truths. Taken For A Mug is excellent and different song. The sound in Any Dream Will Do is really warm and Toy Dolls’s signature voice is still very much present. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Harry’s Hands, which shows, blatantly, how much Toy Dolls has evolved as a singer. I can’t stop humming along David’s Xr2. Pot Luck Percy without a doubt is the standout song of Orcastrated. Ivy’s Lurid Lips is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Toy Dolls released so far. The Psychosurgery is worth the money. Ron Dixon Dumped D-D is a exquisite sing-along. Although Lazy Sunday Afternoon is very melodic it is far from sad. Bowling Barmy is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Orcastrated is a very catchy tune.

If you love The QUEERS as much as I do, then The QUEERS Surf Goddess Ep is the CD for you!

Red Medicine one of my best. It’s natural for Fugazi to take a stab at ‘Do You Like Me’ considering her long-professed love for Bed & Breakfast. There is no doubt that Fugazi has talent and Red Medicine is great.I love Red Medicine so much, i’ve been crazy about Fugazi ever.
Opening track Bed for the Scraping shows the best of Fugazi. Latest Disgrace defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Once Birthday Pony gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. Album opener Forensic Scene is a bright, upbeat ditty. Combination Lock - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Fugazi. Fell, Destroyed catches attention immediately, By You is perfect work of Fugazi. Version very upbeat. Target is gorgeous and different song. Back to Base have really caught my ear and imagination. Voice of Fugazi in Downed City is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. This track is a great song that still never gets old.

The QUEERS was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from The QUEERS and V.M.Live 2-24-95 together. This is the first studio album from The QUEERS since bad diagnosis in 1995. ‘V.M.Live 2-24-95′ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. It is very deep stuff.
I Want Cunt - I just love it. I came to like Monster Zero. The QUEERS must have run out of lyrics on the next track Nothing To Do. There is marvelous mix of music in Blabbermouth. Song I Don’t Wanna Get Involved is actually a funny song. My Old Man’s A Fatso is a exquisite song and it grows on you. Get V.M.Live 2-24-95 and turn on I Was A Teenage Bonehead if you are going to sip your wine late at night.

Lead single “This Week” and “Easy Way Out” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. There were many famous songs of Addicts available. While no new Addicts album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Asia. One of Addicts’s best albums yet.
Easy Way Out is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Straight Jacket is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. Organised Confusion - arguably the best track on Complete Singles Collection album. Viva La Revolution can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Addicts is all about. Complete Singles Collection couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Steamroller. I love the melodic melody of Numbers and to this day it makes me feel good. Chinese Takeaway is perfect. You’ll Never Walk Alone is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Too Young - A strong beat. Bad Boy the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. This song may be the most meaningful. Shake Rattle Bang Your Head great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Lyrics of Tokyo are precise and evocative. The Odd Couple motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Addicts. Falling In Love Again - I like this one. Addicts breathes new life into the music in Come Along. It’s A Laugh gives taste of what makes Addicts special as a musician. I like the agression and power of Saturday Night.

Screeching Weasel is work hard for Kill The Musicians. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Screeching Weasel on ‘Kamala’s Too Nice’. I think this is best Rock: Punk-Rock album. If you want to hear real Rock: Punk-Rock, get this record now!
Punkhouse - My least favorite song on this album. Don’t judge Fathead on the first listening. Good Morning - arguably the best track on Kill The Musicians album. I Need Therapy has a fun tempo. I Think We’re Alone Now - For me, this is the best of the album. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. This Bud’s For Me - A nice song. This song stands out greatly from the others. She’s Giving Me The Creeps is worth the money. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. Celena - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Radio Blast has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. The Girl Next Door is one of the best records ever. I like the agression and power of Achtung. Judy Is A Punk is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Chainsaw is simple, dignified and effective, Screeching Weasel refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Screeching Weasel’s face. Havana Affair makes a person feel perfect. Some of the arrangements found on Kill The Musicians are surprisingly edgy. Stab Stab Stab very upbeat. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. The opening track Hey Suburbia is very much like you would expect from other albums. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Mary Was An Anarchist is such a perfect and optimistic song that things can get just better. This song is dynamic and dramatic. I now have Goodbye To You as one of my personal favorites. Veronica Hates Me (3:02) - awsome. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Supermarket Fantasy gives taste of what makes Screeching Weasel special as a musician. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music.

v-a UK-DK CD - one of the best in Rock: Punk-Rock. This is the first studio album from Rock - Various Artists since bad diagnosis in 1995. Rock - Various Artists is work hard for v-a UK-DK. To me Rock - Various Artists is the best ever.
No Security (CHAOS UK) (2:22) - awsome. Life (DISORDER) is the song that really did it for me. Blind Justice (The BUSINESS) gives good insight into the truths. Viva La Revolution (The ADICTS) is really a nice song to relax and listen too. There is gorgeous mix of music in Soldier Boy (VARUKERS). Stand Strong, Stand Proud live (VICE SQUAD) is the album’s biggest hit, I think. New Age (BLITZ) has a fun tempo. Stub The Judge (ONE WAY SYSTEM) catches attention immediately, Sleeping (The VIBRATORS) great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.No Goverment (ANTI-PASTI) - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Rock - Various Artists. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with No Where Man (ANTI NOWHERE LEAGUE). This song stands out greatly from the others. Death Is Imminent (BROKEN BONES) is beautiful, yet underrated track. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Limo Life (URBAN DOGS), which shows, blatantly, how much Rock - Various Artists has evolved as a singer.

Overall a nice softer song. Music of Recipe For Hate is gentle, never overbearing. Only one song from Infected Live [EP, Japan] named Infected really got me. 21st Century (Digital Boy) good vocals. Stranger Than Fiction is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Struck A Nerve - A strong beat.

Iggy Pop had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Great album We are not talking about commercial shit - just must listen it! ‘We are not talking about commercial shit’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. It is very exciting!
I find myself hearing bits of Batman theme here and there throughout my waking hours. When listening to Louie Louie / Hang on Sloopy, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. A unique and uplifting song. I’m waiting for my man is the first taste of the new album. First time I heard 96 tears was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Iggy Pop is hitting on all cylinders in I’m crying. I’m allright is a strong cut, one of many. One for my baby is the albums biggest surprise. Hassels is really the reason why I recommend buying We are not talking about commercial shit. Puppet world is Iggy Pop’s best work in years.

Since completing 1995’s ‘Back To You’, Riverdales fulfilled their contract with Attack Records (UK) and where under no obligation to release another album. Riverdales had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. There were many famous songs of Riverdales available. Riverdales constantly brilliant.
Fun Tonight is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Hampton Beach, which shows, blatantly, how much Riverdales has evolved as a singer. Musically I Think About You Doing The Commercials is superior to other tracks in Riverdales. I can’t stop humming along In Your Dreams. Judy Go Home gets you up and jumping. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Outta Sight marked the continuation of Riverdales in style evolution. Plan 13 - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Rehabilitated is outstanding work of Riverdales. She’s Gonna Break Your Heart one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Wanna Be Alright - For me, this is the best of the album.

On That’s Business album, Home Grown have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. That’s Business one of my best. It’s natural for Home Grown to take a stab at ‘Get A Job’ considering her long-professed love for Energy. Check it every song is worth the money for the That’s Business CD!
A great put together song. She Said is possibly the best song Home Grown has come up. I came to like My Friends Suck. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Wanna is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Home Grown sings his heart out in Sufer Girl. Ubotherme is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through That’s Business. Face In The Crowd is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in That’s Business. I Hate Myself was the first single release from the album That’s Business. One Night Stand is a song to enjoy for years to come. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Worthless the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe.

This is one of greatest albums of J.M.K.E.. I am not a real Rock: Punk-Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Sputniks PECTOPAH’ really is amazing. Self-described as Rock: Punk-Rock with lots of words, J.M.K.E. comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. You need to listen Sputniks PECTOPAH right now
Charming song, great melody. God Save The Czar is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Listening to Begining of Peter Tchaikovsky’ you can hear that J.M.K.E. has still amazing chemistry with band members. Legendary Sea Holy Baikal has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets J.M.K.E.’s strong vocals come to the fore. I like the idea behind Part of Peter Tchaikovsky’s co. I find myself hearing bits of Warshawianka here and there throughout my waking hours. Bravely, Comrades Keep In Step - Okay, I just talked about depth. Song About Lenin very upbeat. So Long, Towns And Cottages is exquisite song though, very addictive. I like the agression and power of Roads. Moments is a good listen every once in a while. Crocodile Ghena’s Song (2:06) a good melody. Song About The Grasshopper is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything J.M.K.E. released so far. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists.

Great album Sex, Scooters and Rock’n'Roll - just must listen it! Sex, Scooters and Rock’n'Roll CD - one of the best in Rock: Punk-Rock. It’s natural for Skarface to take a stab at ‘Ouh, Ouh…’ considering her long-professed love for Unknown to No One. It is very exciting!
Ugly Hugguy - a classic song. I’ve found myself listening to Scooter Run back to back and back many times. CA Va Pruner is probably the most interesting track on Sex, Scooters and Rock’n'Roll. Put 80 A Paris into car stereo for your highway driving The opening track Normalite is very much like you would expect from other albums. Skease - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Blew our minds when we first heard Headbanger. Best song on the album, love it. Get Sex, Scooters and Rock’n'Roll and turn on La Tourista if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Sans Appel as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. It’s such an underrated song. Do The Moonhop - A strong beat. Macho! - This is a very lively song. Darladirladaska is absolutely incredible. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. In Hate and Rage the music gets its power. A fantastic track full of wonder.

I guess you need to listen Kill Kill Kill 7 Inch as soon as possible. Now signed to Anti-Flag’s Blonde Vinyl, the title track from second album “Kill Kill Kill 7 Inch” leads Anti-Flag’s back-to-school campaign. Self-described as Rock: Punk-Rock with lots of words, Anti-Flag comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Kill Kill Kill 7 Inch constantly brilliant.
No More Dead is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. Don’t judge Kill The Rich on the first listening. I was truly moved when I heard Davey Destroyed The Punk.

You need to listen Bz Bz Ueu [EP]. It’s really cool. Ivan Grach has compared writing for Bz Bz Ueu’s new album to that on ‘Bz Bz Ueu [EP]‘ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Bz Bz Ueu [EP] CD - one of the best in Rock: Punk-Rock. Bz Bz Ueu [EP] is my first Bz Bz Ueu Album and i must say i am blown away.
Victor Fortuna make listening to Bz Bz Ueu like being in some sort of time warp. Put Cognitivo into car stereo for your highway driving This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy.

Since MxPx last CD (On The Cover EP) on Battle Kommand Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. On The Cover EP CD - one of the best in Rock: Punk-Rock. MxPx’s debut, ‘On The Cover EP’, does not fit easily into one genre. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Oh Boy
Vocals of MxPx in Oh Boy really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. Drum Machine Joy is probably one of MxPx’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. You Found Me is astounding. Take Me On - Check out that bassline! Marie Marie actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on MxPx’s face. You Put This Love My Heart - another great track from the On The Cover EP album. From the moment you listen to No Brain you’re hooked. Swing Set Girl was the first single release from the album On The Cover EP.

This disc has all of the essential Presidents of The United State classics. Great album The Presidents of The United S - just must listen it! You need to listen The Presidents of The United S. It’s really cool. The Presidents of The United S is awesome.
The sound of Feather Pluck’n is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Lump on The Presidents of The United S is solid and easy to listen to. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Stranger. The sound in Boll Weevil is really warm and Presidents of The United State’s signature voice is still very much present. Peaches is cool and different song. Music and lyrics of Dune Buggy creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. When I listen to Kick Out The Jams in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Body is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Presidents of The United State ever produced. Presidents of The United State is one of artists that allow his songs like Back Porch to stand on their own and be heard. Simple and heartfelt closing track Candy closes The Presidents of The United S on a high note. Naked And Famous is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen.

This is one of the best Cd’s Siouxsie And The Banchees has dropped to date. I am not a real Rock: Punk-Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘The Rapture’ really is amazing. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Siouxsie And The Banchees has. Smart music for smart people.
Tearing Apart have really caught my ear and imagination. The song feels complete. Fall From Grace is a marvelous sing-along. After few listenings I started to like Not Forgotten more and more. I now have Sick Child as one of my personal favorites. I like the idea behind The Lonely One. Siouxsie And The Banchees breathes new life into the music in Falling Down. Simple and heartfelt closing track Forever closes The Rapture on a high note. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is The Rapture because the melody in the chorus is so good. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Overall a nice softer song.

After debuting at No. 1 last week, Berurier Noir’s album Carnaval des Agites falls to No. 2 with 826,000, a sales slide of 85%. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Berurier Noir on ‘Fils de…’. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Berurier Noir has. I Love Carnaval des Agites from start to finish!
This track is just a stunning masterpiece. In J’ai peur it becomes nowhere more obvious that Berurier Noir has yet to define own style. Casse-tete chinois (5:32) a good melody. Le renard without a doubt is the standout song of Carnaval des Agites. When listening to Betsy Party, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. You can find feelings on this piece of art. Napoleon is another favourite of mine. L’empereur Tomato-Ketchup is astounding. Elsa je t’aime is one of the best records ever. Jim-La-Jungle is a medium tempo tune. Geronimo is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. Baston is a bit different from Berurier Noir stereotypical stuff. I like the agression and power of Pavillon 36. The song feels complete. S.O.S. rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Il tua son petit frere is the albums biggest surprise. Vietnam Laos Cambodge is a very catchy tune. Capitan Kirk is one of these floating songs. This is one hell of a track. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Berurier Noir.

Since completing 1995’s ‘Over & Over’, Jacobites fulfilled their contract with Dew Process and where under no obligation to release another album. Old Scarlett isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Since Jacobites last CD (Old Scarlett) on Dew Process back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. Old Scarlett is awesome.
When Angels Die is a perfect, simple song by Jacobites at the top of his game. Falling Apart is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Down On My Own is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Boutique - A nice song. What An I Living For? is a strong cut, one of many. Puppeteer’s Son have really caught my ear and imagination. Jacobites is one of artists that allow his songs like Liquor, Guns & Ammo to stand on their own and be heard. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. When I listen to Penicillin in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Tire Rolling Of The Hearse is one of these floating songs. Opening track Wasted shows the best of Jacobites.

This -song debut EP shows the promise that ENGLISH DOGS has. ENGLISH DOGS is work hard for What A Wonderful Feeling…To. IF YOU LIKE ALL ENGLISH DOGS’S SONG GO FOR IT! What A Wonderful Feeling…To is the best album I have heard in a long time
Bad Manna (Be What You Are) is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. ENGLISH DOGS rocks harder than ever with This Is Not A War. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Wasted Life (Stiff Little Fing which is my favorite is a truly ENGLISH DOGS sounding song.

This is one of the best Cd’s Blink-182 has dropped to date. I guess you need to listen Chesire Cat as soon as possible. IF YOU LIKE ALL Blink-182′S SONG GO FOR IT! Chesire Cat is what good Rock: Punk-Rock should be.
As always, Blink-182’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Fentoozler make listening to Blink-182 like being in some sort of time warp. This is one hell of a track. Opening track Strings shows the best of Blink-182. Peggy Sue is just simply stunning. Sometimes presents the astounding mix of instruments on Chesire Cat. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. I listened to the opening track Cacophony and liked it a lot. Blink-182 must have run out of lyrics on the next track TV. Toast And Bananas is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Blink-182 ever produced. Such hits like Wasting Time will leave you hooked. Nice and different song. Ben Wah Balls is beautiful, yet underrated track. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Depends the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe.

Now signed to The QUEERS’s Caldo Verde Records, the title track from second album “A Day Late And A Dollar Short” leads The QUEERS’s back-to-school campaign. When you buy a The QUEERS album, you know exactly what you’re getting! I guess you need to listen A Day Late And A Dollar Short as soon as possible. I greatly enjoyed this CD.
This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. Fagtown - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. I Want Cunt is a very catchy tune. Trash This Place is the first taste of the new album. Voice of The QUEERS in Love Me is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Tuly is a Wimp is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything The QUEERS released so far. At The Mall is one of these floating songs. In I Spent The Rent you won’t find any flashy solos. ID3 not present is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. ID3 not present - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. A unique and uplifting song. This track is clearly meant to showcase The QUEERS’s vocal abilities. I Like Young Girls - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of The QUEERS. Nuni In New York the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. If you are a The QUEERS fan, you will love Nobody Likes Me. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Nowhere At All is pretty funky and mellow. I came to like Mac Arthurs Park. Flesh For Tulu - another great track from the A Day Late And A Dollar Short album. Opening track Fuck You shows the best of The QUEERS. All of songs on A Day Late And A Dollar Short and have something to say letting alone Didn’t Want None. Meat Wagon is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after A Day Late And A Dollar Short have ended. The QUEERS must have run out of lyrics on the next track Don’t Puke. There is amazing mix of music in Bonehead. Wimpy Drives Through Harlem was the first single release from the album A Day Late And A Dollar Short. ID3 not present is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. Gay Boy - This is a very lively song. Nobody Likes Me good vocals. Too Many Twinkies gives good insight into the truths. Half Shitfaced - To me, this is the best song on the A Day Late And A Dollar Short. I Live This Life - Okay, I just talked about depth. Live Broadcast WFMU 4/11/9? is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever.

On the France charts, superstar Green Day’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Insomniac isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. While no new Green Day album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Africa. Insomniac is not something you should pass up.
Brat has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Green Day’s strong vocals come to the fore. Green Day sings Stuck With Me in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Geek Stink Breath is worth the money. No Pride is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. This track is full of harmonies and gets Insomniac off to a relaxing start. 86 is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Green Day ever produced. Panic Song (3:33) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. I like the idea behind Stuart and The Ave.. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. I’ve found myself listening to Jaded back to back and back many times. Westbound Sign - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Tight Wad Hill is another favourite of mine. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy.

I think this is best Rock: Punk-Rock album. This is one of the best Cd’s At the Drive-In has dropped to date. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by At the Drive-In. Bradley Smith and Instigate The Role is really good.
Overall a nice softer song. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Ludvico Drive-In is my favorite song on Alfaro Vive, Carajo! [EP]. In Circuit Scene you won’t find any flashy solos. Picket Fence Cartel (Version 0) has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets At the Drive-In’s strong vocals come to the fore.

This album has some very good songs like As Wicked and Avenues and Alleyways. There is so much to love about Rancid, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. There were many famous songs of Rancid available. …And Out Come The Wolves is awesome.
Avenues and Alleyways has a fun tempo. Rancid emotions are reflected through Daly City Train. Disorder and Disarray is a striking and quite long song. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Junkie Man is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. Listed M.I.A. is such a perfect and optimistic song that things can get just better. Vocals of Rancid in Lock, Step and Gone really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. I can’t stop humming along Maxwell Murder. Old Friend is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Roots Radicals is the albums biggest surprise. Ruby Soho - For me, this is the best of the album. When listening to She’s Automatic, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Overall a nice softer song. The Wars End is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Blew our minds when we first heard The Way I Feel. This track is a great song that still never gets old. One listen to the sheer beauty of You Don’t Care Nothin’ was all I needed.

An Loched has compared writing for The Living End’s new album to that on ‘Hellbound: It’s For Your Own Good’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. The Living End was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from The Living End and Hellbound: It’s For Your Own Good together. This is one of the best Cd’s The Living End has dropped to date. Hellbound: It’s For Your Own Good is awesome.
Hellbound has a fun tempo. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. It’s such an underrated song. Strong, powerful vocals of The Living End in Strange are very impressive. Lyrics of Headlines are precise and evocative. The Living End is hitting on all cylinders in Misspent Youth. So Lonely is another strong production from The Living End.
