The Casualties “We are all we have”
July 25, 2009 by urbn | Crust Punk, Hardcore, Punk, Reviews
The Casualties have always been one of the bands many people first get into after the traditional staples of punk rock (The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Kenndys). With 6 other releases in the past years and countless tours and shows The Casualties have...
Streets Of America “Hardcore Punk & OI Comp”
“Streets off America” Is a fantastic compoliation of various hardcore punk / Oi bands from around the United states (but mostly New York). As you would expect there are a few uninteresting songs on this comp (only 2 as far as I’m concerned)...
Cold Sweat “Severed Ties”

Scene of Action’s self-titled EP
“I’m not going to read their promotional stuff before I listen to the music,” I told my friends as I sat down to listen to Scene of Action’s self-titled EP, “I don’t want to be tainted.” It turned out to be a good call on my...
American Taxi “Runaway Songs”

Suicide Blitz “Ride the Steel” is a catchy, fast and just down right entertaining album. There is several years of replay value in this LP with each of the members bringing with them the talent and sound from years of playing in some of...

The four Canadian skids are back after four years since their previous full length “Potemkin City Limits” with a brand new disc, and also on this new release the band keeps on playing the hard, metal influenced music they have been playing...
Pulley - Time-Insensitive Material
You must know I am a huge Pulley fan, but especially, I have always been a huge Scott Radinsky fan, having followed him from his first Ten Foot Pole album Rev, going back to his first band Scared Straight, and then seeing him releasing such great albums...
