Lewd Dewdz - Tape

Coming off the press as fresh as a double order of chicken wings (suicidal w/ extra blue cheese!) comes Lewd Dewdz, soon to be a Buffalo, NY favorite in the underground punk scene. These six songs were just recently recorded to 8 track with the help of Eric Foster (Trystero, Robot Has Werewolf Hand) at The Funeral Home; an old funeral home (who woulda thought?) converted venue/punk house!  Maxing out at a little under ten minutes, Lewd Dewdz "Tape" flows very nicely! Vocalist Ben Barbour delivers witty angst in his straight forward vocal approach. Aaron Adkins lays down the "sic" riffage and leads while Joey Simmen (bass) and John Anderson (drums) hold down the rhythm section quite well!  This is an enjoyable tape to sit around, get fucked and plan a world domination to!

Bad Brains - Rock For Light

If I could write everything I wanted to about the Bad Brains I would, but it would be a novel...BUT the story is that interesting, so check it here. Bad Brains destroyed punk rock. At least "Rock For Light" and the "S/T" releases, which have inspired famous artists from Mos Def and the Beastie Boys to countless others around the world. Ric Ocasek really got the intensity that Bad Brains broadcast on this record. A former jazz fusion turned punk rock/reggae act, to me this record is the pinnacle of the fire the Bad Brains created together. From loved reggae tunes like "I and I Survive" to more rocking "Banned In DC", this record is great for getting out of a winter time slump! Bring on the sunshine!

Reprobates - Stress EP

Toronto, Ontario in the past 10 years has made huge waves in the punk/hardcore scene with such acts as Career Suicide, Fucked Up, Terminal State, among many others!  A couple years ago, while on a trip to Toronto, I entered a bar in the College district absolutely wasted and stumbled upon a punk show.  The show wasn't bad, but little did I know what I was in for with the headliners of the night, Reprobates.  As soon as they went on, it  was an all out assault of fierce punk/hardcore.  Gabby's guitar picking was ferociously fast, while Shawn's vocals followed suit with the sound of a man that clearly has lost his mind. As the set continued, bodies were being flipped and thrown everywhere! Before I could comprehend all this madness that was happening in front of me, the band stopped and the show was over.  For all I know, this is the only release Reprobates ever put out (with No Way Records); but at a little under 9 minutes, this is one of the angriest, best punk records I have heard in a long while.
