Not many people can’t say they wrote the book on Pop Punk but Stephen Egerton is that guy. He broke on the scene as a guitar player in the 80’s with the southern California band The Descendents and has never looked back. During his time off from recording and producing music in his studio Armstrong Studios in Oklahoma he wrote, played all instruments, and recorded his first solo record. After admitting that singing wasn’t his strong point his wife suggested that he invite all his punk rock friends to help finish the record.

Reviewed by Nate Smith This record is Heavy. With a mix of screamo, hardcore, punk and metal, Our Last Night brings it so heavy even your mom would be terrified. The easiest way to describe this record would be to take Boys Night Out, Thrice, Thursday, and Matchbook Romance and let them fight it our [...]

Reviewed by Nate Smith I’ve always enjoyed Anarbor. They put on a great live show full of energy, stage presence, and plain fun. We had the chance to interview them on the Take Action Tour last year in Las Vegas and they were the type of guys you’d want to have in your friend circle. [...]

Reviewed by Lance Stenhibel It might just be me, but whenever I hear about a new worship CD coming out, I’m not running to the nearest store. I think a good deal of this stems from the fact that, to me, worship music all sounds the same. I know this sounds bad coming from someone [...]

Reviewed by Nate Smith Write this down gets the award for the best Album Cover of 2010. The band is surrounded by snow, ice, an amazing car, and a freaking tiger on the cover. Simply Creative and amazing. Write this Down brings the rock straight forward with a mix of pop and hardcore. It has [...]

Reviewed by Nate Smith This is the best record I have heard in years. If Rise Against, Lagwagon, and Less than Jake all blended their records together this would be the end result! “We’re All Dead”, track 1 opens up horns, guitar and heads straight into punk rock that is Mohawk worthy. I can picture [...]

Reviewed by Nate Smith Ace Enders voice has always been calming and powerful at the same time. On “I Can Make a Mess like Nobody’s Business” new release ‘The World We Know” he does it again with mellow energetic songs that really capture his musical talent. The record begins with “Sleep Means Sleeping.’ The song [...]

Reviewed by Nate Smith Sometimes a Name can say it all. Sky Eats Airplane definitely fits this mold. We’re looking at here is a electro blend of creative lyrics, double bass pedals, and guitars shredding over this new 3 song ep , “The Sounds of Symmetry.” Let it be known that this ep is a [...]

It’s the debut project from the dropsci GIANTS crew, consisting of Common Child (Eugene OR), Jupiter 7 (San Francisco), reSEARCH (Tennessee), and Paradox (Texas). From what I can tell, these guys worked over the [...]

Reviewed by Nate Smith I’ve always loved the Classic Crime’s name. Simply because, what in the world is a classic crime? I think that a classic crime consists of crimes that have been repeated over and over in history therefore making it a “classic”. The Classic Crime’s new album “Vagabonds” came with a few surprises. [...]

written by Carter Theis When I did the album review for Jupiter 7, I thought that might be the end of my hip hop cd reviews for awhile….but WAIT! One more is coming out of the woodwork. And quite literally in this case with “called to Mind”‘s artwork. Called to mind is by hip hop [...]

Reviewed by Nate Smith As we venture more and more into the digital age, it seems that bands strive for audible perfection. They want to record their music all digitally and fix every last little thing. Ghosts, the new album by One for the Team was recorded all on tape; I love it. Ian Anderson, [...]

Reviewed by Nate Smith Every once in awhile, it’s fun to take a step out of the musical genre I love and check out something a little different. The new Gorillaz album falls right into that category. This album begins with the intro track “Orchestral Intro” where the soothing sounds of the ocean and seagulls [...]
