Ryan McDermottReviews
Dashboard Confessional: Dusk and SummerAt least the old Carrabba had a bit of slow crescendo in his whining. [3 August 2006] 
Erase Errata: NightlifeUnlike many bands today that are taking cues from older bands, Erase Errata really know how to be influenced without having the influence take over their sound. [28 July 2006] 
An Albatross: Blessphemy (of the Peace-Beast Feastgiver and the Bear Warp Kumite)Oddly enough, this spastic, drug-driven hardcore record is incredibly soulful. [14 July 2006] Sonic Youthtear the mother to shreds. [13 June 2006] 
Morrissey: Ringleader of the TormentorsMorrissey has become Morrissey-eque, a dull carbon copy of the Morrissey from years past. [25 May 2006] 
Death Cab For Cutie: PlansThis is an amazing little pop record of amazing little pop songs. [8 September 2005] 
Broken Spindles: Inside/AbsentSo this is what happens when you tour non-stop with the Faint. You step out of the dance party and retreat into the sanctuary of your laptop. [24 August 2005] 
Criteria: When We BreakEverything has become watered down in the world of the Criteria front man. [19 August 2005] Gravy Train!!!! + Veronica Lip Gloss''Cause you are long in the pants/ short in the weiner, suckin' my muff like a vacuum cleaner/' Awww shit... [11 August 2005] |
