Noise
By Numbers – Yeah, Whatever... - Asian
Man Records
Fronted by the inimitable Dan Schafer, known
to the world as the one and only Dan Vapid,
Noise By Numbers does a good job of tapping
into the Husker Du, Replacements influenced
style of punk rock without falling off the
edge into the world of Emo. Being a fan of
most things Vapid, I personally enjoyed listening
to him venture into a new land in the world
of pop and once again walk out it's king.
The band is rounded out with a solid line
up of Jeff Dean on guitar, Rich Uncapher on
Bass and Neil Hennessy on drums and backing
vocals. The songs are all credited to Schaffer/Dean
and it's safe to say that the duo did a great
job of putting together a group of songs that
would hold onto the familiar feeling of Schafer's
previous output without failing to sound new
and interesting. This album has a melodic
almost emo feel, but it has balls too. I'd
suggest it to anyone that feels that the aggression
and angst of punk rock is only complimented
with a little bit of melody. “Seventeen
on the Wayside” and “Paris in
September” are my favorites, but the
entire album is strong.
Jello
Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine
– The Audacity of Hype – Alternative
Tentacles
First things first, a big “Fuck Yeah”
goes out to Jello Biafra for NOT doing something
that fans of The Dead Kennedy's would be totally
alienated by. No Spoken word, or silly lounge
music here. Jello has left the standup to
Henry and delivered a kick ass punk rock record,
that aside from the annoying song lengths,
is just as good if not better than anything
the DK's did in their hey day. Thats Right.
I said it.
The band comprised of of Ralph Spight, on
guitar and keyboard, Billy Gould on Bass,
Kimo Ball on guitar, and John Weis on drums
is damn good, and pulls off the obviously
intentional DK style in a much more polished
and precise manner that still has plenty of
dirt under it's nails. From the production
end this album sounds perfect on everything
I have played it on. The songs are great,
the packaging (I'm such a sucker for a nice
product) is cool with great art and a nice
fold out color poster. Lyrically the album
is everything you would expect from Mr Biafra
where in he tackles an array of political
issues that the country has faced in the last
decade. As far as delivering a good performance
vocally, Jello's voice hasn't lost anything.
His immortal flamboyant sneer and dramatic
vibrato is as in tact today as it was when
he recorded “Too Drunk To Fuck”
I think the nicest thing I can say about this
record, is that not only will it appeal to
the older DK fans, but it has the potential
to open a window to the past for the kids
of this generation.
Various Artists – No Idea Fest 08
2009 Sampler – No Idea Records
What we have here is a compilation record
featuring some of the great bands that have
been involved with No Idea records and Fest
8 this year. Some of the songs are good and
some are not so good, but for the most part
it's a pretty solid 33 song compilation record,
featuring bands from all different walks of
the punk rock life. Young Livers, FIYA, Bridge
and Tunnel, Dear Landlord, Psyched To Die,
and many more. Most, if not all of these songs
are previously released so it doesn't do much
for me in the sense that some of the best
compilations I have ever gotten have been
purchased so I could get one specific, exclusive
to the comp, by a band that I really like.
I can't count the bands I have gotten into
because of that exact scenario.. but that
has nothing to do to this comp, and I'm not
bitching because these people send kick ass
CD's every month. Solid comp. Get it.
The Len Price 3 – Pictures –
Wickedcoolrecords
This is terrible shit. Outright awful. This
band sucks, and I'll tell ya why. Because
they suck...thats why.
The Len Price 3 are yet another band tapping
into the Beatles and Byrds, British Invasion
retro sound, and they suck at it. Paul McCartney
sounding vocal lines, with perfectly executed
backup harmony's over some jangly chords,
with absolutely none of the grit and shuffle
that is a requirement for approval by yours
truly. If I wanted to listen to Wings (and
I DONT) I would listen to Wings (not likely).
If your gonna suck it's best that you suck
originally and this band doesn't. I can see
them with the little wigs and silly suits
at the block party doing “I Saw Her
Standing There” for the dancing elementary
school kids.
NOFX
- “Cokie The Clown EP” - Fat Wreck
– Chords
This is a cool EP by one of my favorite bands.
I have to say that the title track is absolutely
terrible. When I saw NOFX this fall at Riot
Fest in Chicago, they did this song live for
the first time, and I remember thinking it
was terrible, but cutting them some slack
because it seemed to have been just slapped
together. All and all it really is terrible.
However the other songs on this EP are awesome.
I love how this band can manage to play simple
punk rock so technically. These days it seems
that a lot of punk bands have regressed into
the “Ramones – Core” three
chord formula, or are taking themselves WAY
too seriously. It's good to see a band that
can play with the best of them and still write
fun songs. The song “My Orphan Year”
done acoustically is a hit in my book even
though a certain editor for a certain website
that I write for says it “borders on
bad emo” Did they use a cheap pitch
shift or do something in the studio to make
Eric Melvin's voice sound so digital?
Lawrence
Arms – “Buttsweat and Tears”
- Fat Wreck Chords
I commend Fat Mike. He does what he wants,
he signs the bands that he likes, he signs
bands that he has fun with. “Fuck yeah!”to
him. However, he apparently doesn't care if
the bands are any good because I haven't given
a positive non NOFX review for a Fat release
since the Loved Ones earlier in the year.
(That band Pour Habit is pretty cool though.)
I have to say I go into this release a little
bit biased. Brenden Kelly was kind of a high
school hero for my friends and I. Slapstick
(and in a lesser sense The Broadways)was one
of the band whose music was playing in the
background of my teenage years. In one form
or another, Brenden's voice was part of the
soundtrack for some of the best (and worst)
days of my life. I think Brenden's voice is
awesome on anything he does really, but I'm
so sick and tired of hearing people kiss the
guys ass like he's the messiah of college
town punk rock. I'm sorry, but that is exactly
the kind of music that Chicago's Lawrence
Arms make; dime a dozen pop music for “lost”
(read: financed) 20 somethings with silly
haircuts ruining bars they don't belong in.
The songs are perfectly constructed and boring,
dialed in for radio length, and produced to
the point that even the familiar grit that
made Brenden Kelly's voice one of the most
memorable in punk rock is gone. This record
can kiss my fucking ass. Hope this doesn't
get me beat up in Carbondale, but I'm sure
it's going to get a couple football players
laid.
I
Love Rich - “Seasons Of The Rich”
EP – Self Released
I like this band a lot. I Love Rich play
fun pop metal, reminiscent of big hair, spandex,
and hot chicks humping the hood of a Trans
Am. This is simply fun music, and I feel to
analyze it and pick it apart would be a crime.
Featuring Chuck E. Sleeze, otherwise known
as Chuck Uchida of No Empathy, the record
immediately caught my interest. The band is
solid, the songs are fun, and with titles
like “Let's Fuck all Night”, “Im
Only Here Cuz Your Sister Said No” and
“Everybody's Getting Laid Tonight”
you can't go wrong. One word: Fun.
The Fire Bombing – Self Titled –
www.myspace.com/thefirebombing
This is a cool little DIY release. I can't
say it's super interesting, ground breaking,
or mind blowing. It's not all that original
either. But it isn't bad. I've just heard
about a billion bands over the years that
sound exactly like this. Good effort, but
it really didn't make me want to get out of
my seat. I'm not sure even who to compare
this band too. It's run of the mill punk rock,
but thats not always a bad thing. I might
love this CD in a week. (Sidenote: A week
has past and I do not love this record)
Worn
In Red – In the offing – No Idea
Records
Worn in Red is one of the few “modern”
hardcore bands that impress me. Brenden Murphey's
voice is pretty standard as far as “hardcore”
bands these days go, and is really the only
major turn off for me. A lot of bands coming
from the Virginia area have a similar sound
as Worn In Red, however, what makes these
guys stick out is their ability to venture
into the area of “melodic hardcore”
without sounding like a whiny ass emo band.
I give it a thumbs sideways. I like some of
it, I can do without the rest.
No
Friends – Self Titled – No Idea
Records
Featuring members of Municipal Waste, New
Mexican Disaster Squad, Gatorface, and Virgins,
No Friends one thousand percent kick ass.
Finally a band calling themselves “hardcore”
that doesn't make my face scrunch up to the
thought “this is hardcore? Really?”
If you like real hardcore, as in hardcore
punk. (IE – Decendents, Minor Threat,
Black Flag, Gorilla Biscuits) than you will
like this record a lot. The coolest thing
about it was looking up after only a few minutes
and realizing that I was already on the 4th
track. In a time and day when everyone wants
to call themselves hardcore, but sound and
feel nothing like the bands that the term
“hardcore” invokes thoughts of,
it's as refreshing as it gets to hear a band
that finally has the goods and the energy
to slap the term hardcore on themselves. Fuck
yeah to these guys. We need more bands like
this to set the damn kids these days straight.
“Sans Opinions” is the best song
ever. (ever)
Dead
To Me - African Elephants – Fat Wreck
Chords
This record is hit or miss. Dead To Me do
a great job with the pop punk tunes on the
record and I love every last one of them,
however on the tunes that they decided to
venture out into more experimental genre's
they just totally lose my interest. They have
a great sound that reminds me of old No Use
For A Name on tracks like “Nuttin Runnin
Through My Brain” and “Fell Right
In” and pretty much totally blow on
tracks like “California Sun” and
“X.” Sadly, the good half is absolutely
fucking mind blowing, and the bad is super
bad (worse than Bad Religion. Really.) This
record is very west coast sounding, and you
can hear a lot of Sublime influence on most
of the tracks that I happen to not like. Like
I said, it's Hit or Miss. Kind of like Fat
Wreck Chords these days.
Star
Fucking Hipsters – Never Rest in Piece
– Alternative Tentacles
This band is trying to be interesting, and
as a result they suck. Nothing on this record
is catchy. Not a single damn hook that flows
smoothly. The vocals are absolutely terrible,
like someone chopped off the cookie monsters
balls. This vocalist, whose sex is unidentifiable,
defines awful and takes it to a new level.
Everytime he/she opens his/her mouth it's
like Nails going down a chalk board. There
are like 17 people in the fucking band too!
The lyrics are all “thought provoking”
(Read:Boring) and the band is trying so hard
to be “unique” that they completely
miss the point and totally lose my interest.
Star Fucking Hipsters are a bad band and Never
Rest In Peace is a fucking horrible record.
Next.
CoCoComa
– Things Are Not All Right – Goner
Records
This is a good record for fans of catchy
pop. In each of these songs, you can hear
one part Ramones, one part Stooges, and one
part Velvet Underground, tied together and
personalized into one pop masterpiece by this
Memphis based power trio. Johnny Thundersesque,
guitars, layered with some of the sweetest,
stickiest bubble gum vocals I have heard,
and most importantly infectious hooks that
you won't forget. I would suggest this record
to anyone that grew up in the back seat of
their parents car listening to the oldies
station, as some of these tunes will take
you back to beautiful simplicity that made
rock n roll special. Thumbs up to Bill Roe,
Lisa Roe, and Mike Fitzpatrick.
Snacktruck – Spacial Findings, 1 -7
– Rorschach Records
This is an instrumental. If you like space
sounds and emo and can pay attention to something
for seven fucking minutes while nothing exciting
happens this record is right up your alley.
Can I have the last 20 minutes of my life
back now?
ZINE REVIEWS
Razorcake # 53
I really like these guys! Razorcake puts
out a nice product, filled with all kinds
of great columns, reviews, features, and news.
Not to mention they have some of the best
damn add rates (cutting MRR's almost in HALF)
and if you havn't noticed, the rag is getting
hot, and replacing the boring and stagnant
recent issues of MRR on coffee tables and
in book bags around the country. It's about
damn time too!
Issue #53 features 13 columns that vary from
the whacky life of Reverend Norb to the thoughts
and views on living in Bangladesh and returning
to America by Amy Adoyzie. Six features, two
of which really caught my interest, a story
on No Bunny and a very informative article
on Artcore Fanzine. The reviews are fun too!
(Not as current as us here at Jersey Beat
of course, but still fun) A year subscription
is only 16.50, and like I said before the
add rates are awesome. Razorcake Rules.
Dagger # 42
I liked this zine. Not a lot of adds and
a lot of words, which is really cool. At first
look I was thinking it was a little short,
but I soon realized that the adds were few
and far between. Mostly interviews and reviews,
which is also cool, with a cool Mummies cover.
The editor of the zine seems to have had a
child, and the life of Dagger in it's print
form sounds shaky at best, but kids grow and
demand less attention in time, so keep looking
for it in the future, it's a cool little zine
if you ask me. Keep it up!
Chris Mattern's top 10 for 2009
Vortis - Self Titled
Psyched to Die – Year One
Pink Lincolns – Back From The Pink Rom
(reissue)

Hoods
– Pit Beast (I Scream Records)
“A call to arms for all those who have
grown tired of watching the hardcore scene
being exploited and bastardized... ”
Well.. to be honest with ya, I actually find
this record to be a a perfect example of the
exploitation and bastardization of hardcore.
This is metal, and bad metal at that. With
lyrics like “You cast the first stone
and ran like a bitch.. why don't you stand
up and fight!” and “Emo kids crying,
fashion victims dying, Punk Rockers Moshing,
sXs kids are fighting, skins are looking hard
at the edge of the pit, all the ladies in
the front are showing their tits... fists
are swinging, beers were drinking, lets stop
thinking, lets get drunk and start a fight,
lets get drunk and party tonight.” it
is quite obvious that we are dealing with
a bunch of GED students and inbreds here.
More over glorified bullshit about “the
hardcore way” layered over generic metal
and that stupid growling crap. Quit it, you.
Lights Out – Destroy Create (Dead
Beat Records)
Germany's Lights Out are definitely a hit
in my book Destroy/Create is a the perfect
offering of 14 catchy, energetic pop tunes
in 22 minutes. Lights Out definitely tip their
hat to early American West Coast and DC Hardcore,
but they do it in a manner that reminds you
of the Dickies. Every song on this CD is just
as good as the last and they all kick ass.
All these “hardcore kids” running
around the suburbs these days need to be tied
to a chair and forced to listen to this until
they forget about all that chest beating heavy
metal. I'd suggest this to anyone that is
into fast, angry, energetic, punk rock. This
stuff is “Kick Ass Core.”
Young
Hearts – Nowhere Kids (myspace.com/youngheartsattack)
The Young Hearts are pretty kick ass. “The
Nowhere Kids EP” features 7 upbeat,
backup vocal heavy rockers, that will get
you out of your seat on the first play. With
infectious riff heavy guitar lines, and throat
shredding vocals, the band often times dances
into an “almost emo” area that
I tend to be turned off by, but they never
sound whiny so it doesn't throw me into a
“quit your damn crying already”
rant. Great songs, featuring great musicianship,
and some traditional “emotional rock”
trappings, pulled off in a poppy upbeat, and
often times sleazy manner.
Adams Dagger – The Ripper EP (Durty
Mick Records)
I really enjoyed this record. Adam's Dagger
based out of Long Beach California are no
west coast pussies. The Ripper EP features
four kick ass song played in a sludgy dark
style of punk rock that at any times can take
off headfirst into blast beat Chaos. Catchy
gang vocal based chorus's and songs titles
like “Hot Dog Down A Hallway”
make this a cool record to add to the collection.
Four tunes, full color cover, limited edition
clear with red splatter vinyl, and a nice
plastic download card with cool artwork on
it makes the Ripper EP not just a killer record,
but a cool product too! At a suggested retail
price of a little less than 7 dollars, this
record is worth every penny. Check it out!!!
The
Mostly Dead – "Slightly" EP
(Mighty Science Records)
I LOVE this record! The Mostly Dead play
straight forward kick ass rock n roll in a
no less than explosive manner. Coming to us
from Washington DC The Mostly Dead do nothing
to hide their hardcore roots, but definitely
take things a step further without falling
into the “post hardcore” trap.
“Slightly” features 6 high energy
songs that are interesting and breathtakingly
urgent at the same time. This record is over
before you sit down, so you mght as well just
dance in front of the stereo because you will
be flipping it all night long. Mighty Science
Records has also released the “Alive
EP” and I'd really like to hear it (hint
ship to – Jersey Beat attn Chris Mattern.)
TOK – Long Tall Cobra Box (Independent
Release)
Half this album is terrible shit and the
other half is pretty decent. Remember in 93/94
when the final remnants of the 80's hair metal
scene put out “Grundge” and “Alternative”
records in a pitiful final attempt at holding
onto the days of wiping their asses with 20
dollar bills? Half of this record sounds like
one of those records. The other half shows
us a band that can destroy standard rock n
roll and build it into something traditional
but unique at the same time. I'm not sure
if the good outweighs the bad, but I personally
will be throwing it in the free box at my
next show. Thumbs sideways?! - - If they kicked
CC Deville out of the band and kept the tempo
up these guys might rock..
The
Killer – Not all who are lost.... (Organized
Crime Records)
Now I've fucking had it. “This is Chicago
Hardcore” the press sheet reads! DAMN
YOU HEAVY METAL!!! YOU CANT TAKE HARDCORE!!
YOU CANNOT WRESTLE IT AWAY FROM ME!!! The
term HARDCORE belongs to PUNK and that is
that. I'm not having this shit anymore. Every
time I see “Hardcore” in a press
sheet I feel the need to throw the thing in
the garbage before I listen to it. Where do
you get double bass and Phil Anselmo impersonations
from “Nervous Breakdown?”
And CHICAGO HARDCORE at that.. now you are
going after my home town? How dare you equate
this heavy metal crap with the likes of Articles
of Faith, Naked Raygun, The Effigies, Bhopal
Stiffs, Strike Under, Los Crudos, Life Sentence
and the hundreds of other bands that have
been a part of what is known as Chicago
hardcore. The best description I've ever heard
for Chicago Hardcore is “not quite punk,
not quite hardcore” and this band sounds
like fucking Hatebreed. Take your sorry asses
over to the Victory site.
Nightmare
Of You – Infomaniac (The Bevonshire
Label)
New York's Nightmare of You write great pop
songs. The first track “Good Morning
Waster” is a folky acoustic ballad that
leaves you wondering where the album is going
to take you (and makes you go.. thats NOT
a girl singing?). As you move into the 2nd
track “Eustacia Vye” you are introduced
to a band that can whip out beautiful pop
tunes reminiscent of post beatles Paul McCartney,
(and I'm not even sure if that is a compliment
or a diss...) but with a jazzy vibe which
tends to remind me of the lighter side of
The Vines first record. These goes don't suck,
but they lack a lot of energy for my tastes.
Check em out at www.myspace.com.nightmareofyou
and decided for yourself.
Gallows – Grey Britain (Sire Records)
10 seconds into the first song I was shaking
my head going “no... not more of this
shit” I was shaking my head in dismay
at the thought of forcing my self through
another “hardcore” record. A minute
into the song I was bobbing my head along
and on the brink of dancing across my room.
Yes, these guys can play, and while they do
have a metal aspect to them, in the sense
that they are great players, the recording
shows they definitely drip of punk rock. You
don't get the vibe off this band like they
are showing off their chops. Gallows can play
for sure, but at the same time they can construct
complex songs that never get boring. This
bands energy is 100 percent undeniable even
if I pretty much despise 99 percent of the
bands that sound similar to them. Grey Britain
kicks ass.
Hot
Water Music – No Division (No Idea)
Reissue
For those of you that have read my reviews,
you hear me constantly referring to a point
in time when Emo didn't suck. I tend to repeatedly
point out that the saddest thing about what
has been tagged as “Emo” is that
the roots of the sound were very cool. Interestingly
enough, at a time when the genre they can
be considered pioneers of is seeing massive
amounts of commercial success and attention,
Hot Water Music alumni Chris Wollard and Chuck
Ragan have abandoned the entire deal for a
more folk/bluegrass approach to things. This
look back at what these acoustic guitar-wielding
road warriors were doing in the past was pretty
interesting to me, a guy that has heard their
recent stuff but had no clue that they were
doing this kind of thing in years past. Hot
Water Music's No Division hits the
nail on the head as far as “the style
formerly known as emo” goes. Energetic
throat shredding vocals on top of melodic
punk rock with a little musicianship isn't
always a bad thing, and this disc proves it.
From first track to last, Hot Water Music
delivers nothing but energy. I don't know
what this band sounds like today, and I don't
know what they sounded like before this record,
but I like this particular CD a lot.
Fashion Bomb – Devils to Some Angels
to Others (Full Effect Records)
Generally, NOT my thing, but Fashion Bomb
reminds me of why I used to listen to Metal
when I was a kid. Chicago's Fashion Bomb play
a style of Industrial that doesn't forget
about the instruments that we all know and
love. My biggest turn off when it comes to
this style is usually the lack of guitar,
bass, and drums. While I'm sure the drums
are electronic, they at least sound like hi
hat, symbols, snare etc etc. I guess my point
is that this isn't dance music for sissies
with cutting issues, it's metal with tastefully
applied sampled in sounds and a little bit
of studio magic. From the opening track “SS”
to the sassy riff based chaos of “Avarice,”
Devils to Some Angels to Others is
a damn good record. I love a metal band that
knows how to put together a break down without
sounding A. like showoffs or B. grinding repetitive
and boring, and Fashion Bomb proves that they
know how to settle into the pocket and punch
you in the teeth with mosh pit inspiring thrash
metal madness. The guitar player doesn't get
overly technical and send me into a “kill
Joe Satriani” rant, but he doesn't bore
you either. I like the way Fashion Bomb takes
on a traditionally technical style, and does
it with a sense of simplicity and tops it
off with a killer sense of rhythm to complicate
things. On top of it all Fashion Bomb knows
that the pop hook can rock, and Devils
to Some Angels to Others is full of great
sing along choruses. You can catch these guys
in the Chicago area regularly, and their current
live drummer is the best damn rock drummer
in the Chicago area and beyond. So check these
guys out if you get the chance. Also, their
pictures give me the willies.
North Lincoln – Midwestern Blood (No
Idea)
This record bored the shit right out of me.....
really. North Lincoln owes me a new set of
britches.
Yesterdays
Ring – Diamonds in the Ditch (Suburban
Home)
This stuff kicks ass in a major cool fucking
way! You got that? You better have. The first
track “Moving Out (too Florida)”
opens up sounding like a fast paced rockabilly
act, and within 10 seconds the introduction
of horns takes the band into a style that
reminds you of the late 90's swing resurgence.
Half the album is full of slow thought provoking
ballads, delivered with Hugo Murdie's raspy
vocals and great hooks that give even Tim
Barry a run for his money, while the other
half features a boot stomping, beer drinking,
punk, swing, rockabilly, western hybrid, that
I find to be absolutely addicting. “Moving
Back(to Montreal)” and “Quebec
City Blues” will have your foot tapping
before you know it, while “Punks Not
Dead... It's Just Sleeping” and “Email
From Lucie” will have you starring into
a glass looking for answers. “Roses”
is one of the best songs I have heard in years,
and “They Ought To Name A Drink After
Me” damn well should be the bar hit
of 2009. Diamonds In the Ditch is
one of those great albums that at first listen,
you can't bring yourself to go back and listen
to a song you liked, because the song that
you are hearing is just as good as the last.
Diamond in the Ditch is the best thing Suburban
Home has sent my way since Tim Barry's Manchester,
and I'm personally very excited to get started
backtracking to find the band's other stuff.
Who would have thought! Leave it to a bunch
of Canucks to be the first band with the words
“Alternative Country” in their
press sheet to impress me. What the fuck do
the Canadians know about ho downs, bourbon,
tumble weed and …......Billy Corgon?
Weird.
Forced Anger – Vs..... (Contraband)
This is fucking hardcore. Detroit's Forced
Anger existed from 1985 until 1991 and while
they never reached the fame and notoriety
of some of their peers, they were definitely
just as good. If you are into what they were
calling hardcore 20 years ago, you will love
this CD. From beginning to end, Vs.... delivers
hardcore anthem after hardcore anthem played
at a blisteringly fast pace conveying enough
energy to turn whatever room you keep your
stereo in into a one man most pit. Do yourself
a favor and check this one out. The band did
a reunion show last month, and while I'm not
sure if there will be more, if their are,
I will make it up the motor city in heartbeat
to see this band.
