The Poor Geezers – All 4 One – Best Of
I have never heard of this band but this is a best of – always a good way to introduce yourself to a band. What you have here is DIY, Lo-Fi, Blues, experimental Folk-Punk, or as the band calls it … Continued
Gasoline Heart – Thanks For Everything
Louis Defabrizio and crew have done it again! I am hooked on this band! Very open and live feel to this recording. Honest “heart on the sleeve” lyrics that you come to expect from Gasoline Heart. Thanks For Everything has a … Continued
Jump Ship Quick – Where Thieves Cannot Tread
Great three piece Punk Rock band from Colorado featuring ex-members of Focused and Ultimatum. 16 tracks of melodic Hardcore reminiscent of a cross between Gorilla Biscuits/CIV and early Lagwagon. Nothing groundbreaking, but don’t let that stop you – these guys … Continued
Scott Silletta – The Life And Times Of…
This is one of those great timeless records that’s good from beginning to end. “Break In Rhyme” opens the Kickstarter funded album with a very reflective piece, echoing the line “So it goes, what we have could be gone in … Continued

The Insidious Lie by Craig’s Brother
Been waiting along time for this one – the bands third full length – worth the wait. Epic melodic Punk Rock, great production, layered vocal harmonies, technical guitar parts, drummer is always amazing, all that you’d expect from these guys … Continued
Black Thorn by Flatfoot 56
Finally these guys nail it! I’ve liked this band since 2007’s Knuckles Up. Celtic/Street Punk with a little Oi! in the same vein as bands like Dropkick Murphy’s and Flogging Molly without sounding like them. High energy, anthem filled, and … Continued
World Shaker by Main Line Riders
This album is far better than their debut (2007’s Shot In The Dark). Former Migrains (and current Grave Robber) vocalist Shawn Browning is an amazing singer, in that he sounds nothing like he does in his other projects. Cliffy (former … Continued
