jurassic 5 - quality control
the multitalented combo whips up an irresistible flow of charisma and keeps the fun at a high-voltage level. jurassic 5 can pivot on a dime from one style to the next- street-corner barbershop, turntable friction, or kick-ass swing. but the constant focus is on the essentials of the art: quality control fuses fantastic wordplay and mc skills with a killer grab bag of beats. it's the achievement of jurassic 5 to look back in a way so fresh it shines a light ahead.

the debut full-length from buford, georgia skate-rock quintet a small victory. a driving ten-track blast of punk, blues, country and rock styles, powered with a twin-guitar punch, a powerful rhythm section, and the need to be heard.
sadly this band no longer exists.
I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS!

stolen bikes ride faster - nothing has changed
i love it when european bands put on their american hats and play ballsy punk rock. while there's a definite rise against-meets-ten foot pole vibe to stolen bikes ride faster, you cannot escape their euro-isms. the mainland accent tinges their vocals, but don't let that put you off stolen bikes ride faster, who, when they really go at it, sound a bloody brilliant. it's just all too often i'm left thinking there are better bands who play this kind of music just that little bit better.

straightaway - democracy of spreading poverty
of you're a fan of old-skool EpiFat punk rock, paris' straightaway are the band for you. citing the likes of strung out and no use for a name as influences, the band have a very late 90s skate-punk vibe to their sound, which is very refreshing. although based in france the band's english is impeccable and you'd never know they weren't american as they've managed to nail the perfect sound for this type of music.

sommerset - say what you want
sommerset took their time recording, making sure this album surpasses all their previous efforts. the new songs sit more squarely in the "rock" camp, darker in mood but every bit as high-energy as previous outings. the first single inside, distils their vitriol and power into one concise, lethal package and sets it to a murderously catchy rocking riff. immediately added to high rotation across new zealand radio, and sure to quickly become a highly spun track on radio in australia.

yesterday's ring - back from el rancho
the sainte catherines briefly put back their cowboy hats on in order to deliver this ep. back from el rancho is the cd version of the out of print and very limited 12’’ the band released. the 4 tracks bring us back into this beer and whiskey drenched introspection that has those die hard touring machines spill their guts. back from el rancho is a place of choice on the backseat of yesterday’s ring and the sainte catherines van.

the riot before - so long, the lighthouse
the riot before is not flashy, it is not fashion, it is not forced, it is not fake. it is simple chords, simply played, with the purpose of giving a home to lyrics written with purity, precision, and passion. it is, at the foundation of everything, sincere. these songs exist because they must. not because there was a demand for them, but because they were too restless to remain locked in the bedroom they were created in.

final fight - under attack
twelve fast, blistering tracks that will leave you breathless. final fight attacks serious issues with lyrics that laugh at broken hearts and schoolyard squabbles, to tackle real problems that people deal with. as a whole the lyrics seem to have as much self reflection as a plea for change. they entwine this realistic positive outlook with fun music full of dance and pogo parts that will keep you singing along for days to come. while bands that take this polished approach usually lose the punk spirit, final fight is able to contain it in a very good way. for fans of comeback kid or with honor, you'll dig.
for young kids to jaded pricks, you'll dig.
