American Apathy

So I thought 2003's "Group Therapy" by DOPE was generic, nu-ish industrial-tinged donkey dung. At least it rocked hard. So maybe I was unfairly discounting this one of many second-tier MANSON/ZOMBIE modern "shock" rocker bands (I've got no problem with MARILYN or ROB, by the way). I can appreciate t...

The Head and the Heart

If Little Rock, Arkansas' RWAKE are the deliverers of progressive sludge psychosis, then Fayetteville's DEADBIRD are the distillation of it into a crawling, bloody mess of crippling depression and pervasive anxiety. What the hell is going on down there in the land of Clinton anyway? There is in fact...

Vendetta

Based on my lukewarm feelings about "Haymaker", I was prepared to give THROWDOWN's "Vendetta" a mediocre review. I seem to be one of the few that weren't knocked on their asses by the 2003 release.
