  • Cold Blue Rebels “Blood, Guts, and Rock’n’Roll (-Horror High)”

    Many still cringe at the very notion of a super group, mostly due to the still vivid impression made by the legendary figureheads of punk, whilst overthrowing the dead-eyed wanking millionaires of “prog-rock”, some thirty five years ago. Since then, the Lords Of The New Church emerged from the wreckage of the Deadboys/Damned/Sham 69/Barracudas to… Read more

  • Cellulite Star “Explicit Attitude”

    This isn’t really a new album (it was released in 2008), but I only got to listen to it now, and its worth being reviewed in those pages! Indeed, this all-girl band from Italy definitely deserves your attention. If you like the RUNAWAYS, then you will enjoy “Shake Your Music”, and if you’re a DONNAS… Read more

  • Candy “Whatever Happened To Fun”

    BITCH QUEENS from Switzerland join forces together with TRASHMONKEYS from Germany to bring you this nice 7″ vinyl. BITCH QUEENS offer us two songs that aren’t as TURBONEGRO influenced as the ones from their “Female Shotgun” album. This is short, this is fast, this is rock’n’roll in an early BACKYARD BABIES way and “Wipeout Kids”… Read more

  • Beside Myself “Here’s To You”

    Remember all these 90s bands first known as “emo punk”? I mean, bands like JAWBREAKER or HOT WATER MUSIC? Well, I really liked some of them, but unfortunately most of them now have beards, wear flannels and play awful indie folk music! Nevertheless, it happens – among the dozens of emails I get from Italian… Read more
