Frodus were an amazing spazzy/hardcore band from the Washington, D.C. area. The band released a staggering amount of material but are probably best known for the last two full-length albums. 1998’s Conglomerate International saw the band absolutely perfecting their signature spazzy sound. Their full-blown hardcore cover of Devo’s “Explosions” on the […]

No Knife rank as one of my favorite bands of all time. The fact that this band never got more popular still baffles me to this very day. No Knife released countless seven inches, a few EPs and four full length records. The band played a wonderful combination of emo/indie rock […]

Zoinks! was an excellent pop-punk band out of Reno, NV. The band released most of their material via Dr. Strange Records which put out a hefty amount of incredible pop-punk in the mid-nineties. Zoinks! was probably most comparable in sound to early Green Day. This was the case with a lot […]

Slowreader was a short-lived duo from Texas that formed from the ashes of the ska-punk band The Impossibles. They issued only one album in their existence.

For some reason, Carrboro, NC’s Hellbender remains a virtually unknown band to many. It’s hard to figure really considering two of the three members went on to play in much bigger bands like Les Savy Fav and Milemarker. Hellbender specialized in jagged post-pop-punk with definite Jawbreaker comparisons. The band released three […]

Waxwing were a criminally underrated emo band from Seattle that released three amazing albums from 1999 to 2002. Waxwing rivaled some of the genre’s finest bands but never quite gained the notoriety that they should have. One of the guys went on to become a member of the popular spazz/punk band […]
