American Currency

Much like PISSING RAZORS, I always had the feeling that BRICK BATH never got much love; maybe I just happened to come across a few particularly scornful reviews. The quartet never tried to be anything but a blistering American metal band with heavy grooves, hard-ass vocals, and screaming solos. And...

Ignarus

Tired of blast beats, growled vocals, and metalcore? The self-titled debut from IGNARUS is probably an album you'll want to check out. The genre is called hard rock and while not exactly earth-shattering, the tunes hit hard and the songwriting is more than adequate. The first thing you'll notice is...
