Altar Boys – No Substitute

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: December 2019, Music Review | 0

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you – this is a new release from the Altar Boys… kind of. You see, for decades No Substitute was a rumored “lost” Altar Boys album. In an interview for Down the Line in 2009, Mike Stand … Continued

2Minute Minor – Blood on Our Front Stoop

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: Music Review, October 2018 | 0

2Minute Minor is all about unity, good will, positivity, helping our fellow humans (and animals), and packing 13 songs into a 7-inch ep. I know that most people that say that today are faking it to some degree, but these … Continued

Secret Archives of the Vatican – Singles 2018

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: Music Review, October 2018 | 1

This is not an album per se – it is an expanding collection of single songs recorded throughout 2018. At the time I am writing this review, there are 7 tracks posted. More will probably be added before the end … Continued

October Bird of Death – Assemble

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: Music Review, October 2018 | 0

I’m not sure if this is a side project or full band – but as long as they are putting out great music I don’t care. Made up of current/former members of 2Minute Minor, The Blamed, Headnoise, and Ballydowse, October … Continued

The Choir – Bloodshot

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: Music Review, October 2018 | 0

By now, I am not sure what I can say about a new album by The Choir to convince more people to check it out. You are either a diehard fan, or part of the small minority that has given … Continued

Peacemaker – Concrete Terror

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: Music Review, October 2018 | 0

I know this gets said in metal a lot… but this is a killer album! Peacemaker is one of those rare heavy metal super groups that manages to transcend the typical trappings of metal super groups. No musical identity crisis … Continued

Fireworks on Ferris Wheels – Fireworks on Ferris Wheels

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: Music Review, October 2018 | 0

Fireworks on Ferris Wheels is the new collaboration between singer-songwriters Amy Courts and Paul Koopman. With Courts and Koopman coming together, I knew it would be a great album. But I didn’t know how great until I pressed play on … Continued

Kelly Jay Roberts – Alive and Alone

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: Music Review, October 2018 | 0

We received a request to review this album months ago… but got a bit distracted by life. I really enjoyed the album, so I am trying to get the word out now. If you have been itching for some new … Continued

My Silent Wake – There Was Death

by Matt Crosslin | posted in: Music Review, October 2018 | 0

Hard to believe that My Silent Wake has been around 13 years now. If I am counting correctly, There Was Death is their 10th full length album (not counting EPs, splits, and singles). Also hard to believe that Ian Arkley … Continued
