Catspaw (Omnivore Recordings). Review by James Mann.
Fat Wreck Chords released some of the most exciting punk tracks of the 1990’s. See how the label came to be, flew high, and now struggles as a relic of punk rock and roll history.
Mandrake (Paper + Plastick). Review by Carl F Gauze.
Christmas Songs (Epitaph Records). Review by Carl F Gazue.
Bad Religion are still exciting after 30+ years of making music, as Jen Cray discovered at a recent Orlando date.
All the punks who didn’t die became middle-aged and had children. Who could have imagined?
Downsizing to fit a twisted economy, the Van’s Warped Tour still brought in massive crowds for their 15th annual summertime circus. Jen Cray slathered on sunblock for the St. Petersburg, Florida show.
Appeal to Reason (DGC/Interscope). Review by Jen Cray.
Jen Cray is charmed by the BYOB atmosphere as well as the porta-potties at an Orlando Gatorface show.
The Sum of Our Parts (self released). Review by Jen Cray.
The Van’s Warped Tour may still be selling out shows all over the country after 14 years of wreaking havoc in the summertime, but Jen Cray wonders where the innovative music has gone.
Never Suspend Disbelief (Jump Start). Review by Jen Cray.
