Success Radio Recovery Success are sort of refreshing simply for playing a strain of jubilant, up-tempo pop-punk that’s heavily in the vein of Less Than Jake circa Hello Rockview and Borders & Boundaries, minus the horns (especially on cuts like “Believe In” and “Mr. Know It All”). That’s beca ...

Direct Hit! Brainless God Concept albums are usually either the territory of prog-metal bands or some dude having a mid-career crisis. So when it was announced that Milwaukee pop-punkers Direct Hit! were serving up a concept album for their Red Scare debut, the details which seem to involve religion, serial killers, the apocalypse and who knows what else, it was a bit on an eyebrow-raising momen

Druglords Of The Avenues New Drugs When Swingin’ Utters first started cranking out records in the early ’90s, they were the kind of band you could imagine running across in some crappy warehouse or punk-rock pub. But soon after, that, Fat Wreck Chords record deals, high-profile tours and a shift toward roof-raising anthems jumped the Utters to a bigger stage. Druglords ...

Elway Hence My Optimism EP While Ft. Collins, Colorado, punk outfit Elway remain pretty indebted to the best of modern punk, their new EP, Hence My Optimism, is a little less one-dimensional than their 2011 full-length, Delusions. A more varied menagerie of present-day punk, this could be a brief mixtape made by your best Orgcore-loving friend ...
