The Miracle Mile The Future History EP Whenever I hear that a hardcore band is out of L.A. I’m slightly surprised. L.A. Always seems like a Hardcore ghost town to me. I know that’s bullshit, but offhand the only band I can think of is Terror. But hey here’s a second one I can identify! [...]
Baroness – Red Album
Baroness Red Album: Hi, I’m boring! I try to be stoner rock but end up being generic and plodding! Rating: 7/15 the EPs were better. I’m serious on this!
Minotaur Shock-Amateur Dramatics
Minotaur Shock Amateur Dramatics: Joins the long list of albums that sound like Nintendo games with an extra keyboard thrown in for good measure. Rating: 5/15 Random encounters
Mr Scruff-Ninja Tuna
Mr Scruff Ninja Tuna: The adventures of fart synth and generic beat, with some cool samples thrown in for balance. Rating: 10/15 Album names that lower your points before I’ve heard the album
Pink Razors – Leave Alive
Pink Razors Leave Alive: Lame generic pop punk. Sadly there’s not much more to it than that. Oh wait, some female vocals. Rating: 5/15 goofy haircuts and awkward myspace photos
The Presets-Apocalypso
The Presets Apocalypso: Earnest vocals and lyrics, too bad the beats and synth lines are generic and dated. Rating: 10/15 Aptly named bands
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart-selftitled
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Selftitled: Props on making the same indie-rock record every indie band has made since the mid-1980s. Rating: 8/15 Hot hipster chicks with awful Diamond Dogs haircuts
