The Lonely Revolts – Remnant

by Steve Ruff | posted in: January 2013, Music Review | 0

The Lonely Revolts release Remnant is one of the best releases by Thumper Punk records so far. Labeled as working man’s punk rock, this is high energy, graveled throat vocals, pounding drums, booming bass lines and riffs a plenty! When … Continued

180 OUT – Black and White

by Steve Ruff | posted in: January 2013, Music Review | 0

180OUT is a newer release from the Thumper Punk label, one of their lighter bands on the label. This is more pop music with the occasional surf lick thrown in for good measure. It’s catchy music and its fun, but … Continued

True Liberty – Marked for Life

by Steve Ruff | posted in: July 2012, Music Review | 0

Thumper Punk Records was new to me, but this is the kind of stuff I love! Nothing screams indie and underground to me more than loud, amped up, white hot sounding punk rock. I miss hearing new bands that really … Continued

by Steve Ruff | posted in: July 2012, Music Review | 0

It is hard to find anything to say about Sticks and Stones that hasn’t already been said a time or two in the last 22 years. On a personal note, this was my introduction to the 77’s as a band. … Continued

Pospolite Ruszenie – Swiebodnosc

by Steve Ruff | posted in: February 2012, Music Review | 0

The thing that is so amazing about music is that it transcends religion, sex, race, color and language. It is universal in its appeal because of the sounds that are created, not just because of words that are spoken or … Continued
