Those Dirty Lines - Dirty Alternative/Alt. Rock, Indie, Dance, Punk Canada Overall Impression: Chock full of gloriously dirty-sounding synths, plenty of melodic sass, and an undeniably cheeky sense of character, "Dirty" is an unapologetically straight-to-the-point alternative rocker that revels in its definite sense of musical identity and brilliantly brash demeanor. Those Dirty Lines have served up a sonically exciting tune that combines flamboyant performances with a ton of personality, resulting in a track that has a definite sense of swagger that listeners will find both refreshing and quite simply fun. Strongest Point(s): With its punk-like attitude, gritty alternative rock elements, and electro synth-infused flourishes, "Dirty" is a marvelously eclectic mix of styles. Whilst the growly nature of the bass and gritty synth sounds conjure up both elements of alternative and industrial styles, the hard-hitting drums and punk-infused vo...

Timothy Lee Freeman - Jesus Is Calling Rock, Alternative, Punk Virginia, United States Overall Impression: Whilst it may be somewhat rough around the edges, there are still some good ideas in here, and with a bit of further refinement and added polish this can definitely become the track it deserves to be. It's not easy recording and writing your own music so I always commend musicians who endeavor to push their creativity forward and Timothy Lee Freeman clearly has a passion for what he's doing and that's excellent. Strongest Point(s): There are some great riffs in here and there are clearly some inspired ideas throughout, the descending melodic riff heard from 0:38 for instance has a deliciously dark quality to it that contrasts well with the more hopeful sounding riffs found later on in the track. Whilst the recording and arrangement could do with some refinement, there is definitely an ambiance to the track that gives it a certain unique qual...

badbob band - Brand New Start Alternative/Alt. Rock, Punk, Ska San Jose, United States Overall Impression: Badbob Band has put out their new hard rock tune Brand New Start. Kicking down the front door and holding nothing back, Brand New Start thrashes its way into the spotlight. High octane guitars and a speedy tempo give this hard rock tune colors of punk and thrash. Desiring a new beginning, the lyrics look for a new place, on the outside of time, to find a brand new start. They are sung with a punk rock attitude that has no room for questions or critiques. Mirroring the tune's high energy, guitar solos tear through the stratosphere and leave no fret untouched. With the release of Brand New Start, Badbob Band grabs listener's attention with a killer sound and high energy attitude. Strongest Point(s): The guitar work in Brand New Start grabs attention, and upholds the edgy attitude of the tune. It shows its face at the beginning and end of the tune...

Scruff Merchants - Whiskey Lodge Rock, Punk Dublin, Ireland Overall Impression: Having spent two decades on the lam unwashed and unashamed, Scruff Merchants emerge from the obscure wilds of Dublin, Ireland to deliver the quick and calamitous original track, "Whiskey Lodge" - crafting a modern pub song from powerful Punk Rock roots to immortalize The Hammered One in all his inebriated glory! Strongest Point(s): Short, scruffy, and to the point, "Whiskey Lodge" packs a powerhouse Punk Rock experience into exactly one minute of audio - making the song both exhilarating and endlessly re-playable! Furiously strummed acoustic guitar blends with full-throated bass and rock steady drums as a gruff and stylistically excellent lead vocal takes up the charge, delivering both question and answer surrounding John's whereabouts and drinking capabilities. Scruff Merchants make full use of left and right panning to give the song a surprisingly immer...

Timothy Lee Freeman - Catch 22 Rock, Alternative, Punk Virginia, United States Overall Impression: Both writing and recording music is no easy task and whilst there are some issues with "Catch 22", I always have the utmost respect for musicians who have the drive and perseverance when it comes to making music. Timothy has made an extremely commendable effort and there are certainly some excellent ideas in here, I'm sure with a bit of refinement and fine tweaking here and there "Catch 22" can be further improved upon and what is learned from this process will definitely help future recordings. Strongest Point(s): There is a great sense of attitude throughout "Catch 22" which fits with the alternative rock style perfectly, and this trait is well weaved into the lyrics and vocal performance, which interestingly adopts a stylistically intriguing monotone approach that gives the track a certain edge that works very well in its fav...

Souls Worn Thin - Kill Your T.V. Alternative/Alt. Rock, Punk, Grunge Washington, United States Overall Impression: Blistering performances combine with a brilliantly unapologetic attitude in this high-octane pop-punk rocker by "Souls Worn Thin" who have conjured up a lyrically charged and socially satirical anthem for the modern generation to sink their teeth into. "Kill Your T.V." is an excellent piece of songwriting that highlights the best of what the punk genre has to offer and offers an authentic and wholly honest experience that was a joy to listen to, and being a fan of the genre myself, it's great to hear newer bands continuing to push the genre forward. Great work! Strongest Point(s): Not only are the performances very strong, but the combined energy of the performances help give the track its sense of immediacy and purpose. This feels very much like a live performance and as a result, the performances are that bit more engagi...

Lisa Doll & the Rock n Roll Romance - Do The Bummer Alternative/Alt. Rock, Garage Rock, Punk Maryland, United States Overall Impression: Filled to the brim with a hearty dose of unbridled attitude and wrapped up in a marvelously dirty and grainy production, "Do The Bummer" hearken back to the days of classic stripped-back punk, with its unapologetic vocal snarl, breakneck speed, and impenitent nature, Lisa Doll & the Rock'n'Roll Romance deliver a quick-fire, straight to the point musical statement that grabs you and gives you a good shake before deciding to let you go. Strongest Point(s): One could describe punk music as being the most unapologetically unpolished of the music genres, however, this rather rough-around-the-edges aesthetic has always been part of the point, its "against the grain" stance is what makes the style one of the most honest and authentic, and "Do The Bummer" captures the raw essence of the ...

Johnny Void and The Others - What I Say Is Cool Metal, Punk, Hardcore Florida, United States Overall Impression: "What I Say is Cool" is an exciting release from the vault of Florida based punk rockers, Johnny Void and The Others. With the lineup of Johnny Void (guitar/vox), Michael Blackford (bass), and Jason Burrows (drums), the band recorded this track in January 1996 at L N G Studios in Merrit Island, FL. This track wastes no time in getting down to business, immediately hitting the listener with the full force of distorted guitar, frenetic drumming and a screaming, guttural vocal delivery through the verse, before landing on the more melodic titular hook of "What I say is cool." A quick modulation serves as a bridge, before returning to the main riff and finishing out this brief but wild ride. Punk rock aficionados should be on the lookout for not one, but two musical anthologies from Johnny Void and The Others, released on Rakka Rakka R...

Total Psychos - I Hit Myself Rock, Punk, Alternative Etobicoke, Canada Overall Impression: Total Psychos deliver a white-knuckled Punk-fueled tale of clumsiness and chaos in their original track, "I Hit Myself"! Classically distorted guitars herald the start of the suffering, forming a raw but restrained foundation for the verse's setup before Total Psychos explode into a bright Punk Rock chorus of unfortunate events as they outline a series of mishaps ranging from facial dislocation to a potential wounding charge in the self-explanatory "I Hit Myslef". Strongest Point(s): Excellent instrumental work! The tones and techniques employed throughout "I Hit Myself" are rock solid, time-honored, and evocative - capturing the frantic chaos of the lyrics through wild overdrives and bombastic, chugging progressions. Once the song reaches the chorus, the bold brightness of the sound makes a great counterpoint for the unlucky onslaug...

Gamma Rage - Scorcher Rock, Metal, Punk Rhode Island, United States Overall Impression: Rhode Island based hard rockers Gamma Rage deliver one scorcher of a track, with the aptly named Scorcher! Super heavy distorted guitars lead the charge as singer, Malyssa BellaRosa teases the listener with a tale straight out of the diary of Hunter S. Thompson. With lyrics like "Took too much and now I’m gone - tiny lizards crawling on and on. Scarlett lines all on their backs - feel like I’m having a heart attack", that perfectly reflect the sensation of an oncoming hallucinogenic experience. The music totally matches the chaotic mental experience of someone entering into a heavy drug trip and as the guitars get louder and more wild, Malyssa continues explaining how the trip is getting more and more intense with lines like "Holograms light up the room - dancing on the wall conjuring blooms. You can’t move and you can’t groove and you can’t move". And aft...
