It may not be the hardcore old farts like me know, or even some of our little bothers, but the bands that demolished the stage at the Black Cherry in Toledo Saturday proved that hardcore is living, breathing, drinking and fuckin breeding too."

Interviews: Sex Slaves Video Interview & Live clips
Cuda">Cuda writes "J-Bomb, Eric13, and Del Cheetah are some of the hardest working young musicians I think I've ever met. For the better part of the last few years they have toured endlessly, playing their brand of rock n roll.This brand is every bit as hard as the stuff I was weened on in the 80's, but lacks the cheese factor and that's good, because they won't become our cartoon joke after a few years. The songs are well put together, rock like fuck, and lets face it, they are catchy."

You're so fucking afraid that the Republicans will fillibuster you, that you wont try and do anything. Well guess what? They'll fillibuster you on their own ideas. They don't view politics as doing the people's business, they view it like winning a football game, it doesn't matter if you play dirty, just so long as you win most have you have been in Washington long enough to have figured that out.
I know you're all very nice people who were raised to play nice with the other children, but every kid who went through an underfunded public school knows, if someone's a bully occasionally you gotta bust 'em in the chops to survive.
You aren't in Washington to further your own ambitions assholes, you're there to cover your district's ass. And you're not doing it right now.
You've got a majority, act like it.
And if you aren't willing to do that, maybe the Green Party can put up some candidates that will.

Some times a band can forget to do that, and it will show up in their music. I don't see that happening any time soon to these lads from Toledo Ohio. Tyler, Jas, Chris, and new bassist Mark (Former-Manute Bol) sat down and talked with globalpunkreview.com about their upcoming full length CD on SBS records, and the prospects of touring in 2010."

Interviews: Interview with Ricky Rat of the Trash Brats
Cuda">Cuda writes "This past September, one of Detroit's best known and well loved bands, the Trash Brats, got back together for a show at Small's. This was the final of three shows the boys put on in 2009. The occasion, well... fans and the band had an itch to scratch. We (globalpunkreview.com) were there and did a video interview with the band, but due to technical problems the video is non-exsistant. Not one to accept defeat, I contact Ricky Rat, founding member of the Trash Brats, and asked him to answer a few questions about the show, and the band's future."

CD Reviews: CD Review- Rammstein-Leibe Ist Fur Alle Da
michaelrys writes "I had very low expectations for this record based on the first single.Recent Rammstein albums have been choppy and inconsistent. This is not the case on this record,its the most consistent record they've done since their American debut.Even the slower songs fit in to the flow of the album.
If you like German metal/industrial music done by one of the godfather bands of it, go now to your local record sale venue.

CD Reviews: -Jello Biafra 7 The Guantanamo School Of Medicine-The Audacity Of Hype
michaelrys writes "Jello Biafra, hated or loved you cant deny the mans influence on punk, and rock n roll in general. The mighty Dead Kennedy’s have largely turned into a touring tribute band, no better than the guys slinging Guns N Roses tunes at the local pub, (hey, really is there any new music in the works?) only they are raking in cash with kids going to see em so they can get a taste of the 80’s. Jello in the meantime built up a well respected record company, entertained and informed us with spoken word tours/CD’s. The musical projects he’s come out with since the DK’s original bust up have been ok, ( LARD especially so)but nothing Id say was for the ages, nothing earth shatteringly great."

CD Reviews: False Alarm-Fuck Em All We've Allready(Now)Won/Youth Gone Mad split CD
Reverand Paul writes "False Alarm sounds exactly like you'd expect from a record with Cheetah Crome (Dead Boys) on it. It reminds me a ton of the Dead Boys "We Have Come For Your Children". Everything flat out rocks, but nothing jumps off the page, because everything rocks. So it gets hard to separate the tracks in your mind's eye without repeated listenings. But "No Choice" did stand out a bit. It's a great everything louder then everything else album."

Maybe it's just that I'm used to dives where I know almost everyone and I don't feel like the oldest guy in the place... maybe it's just my own insecurities... LOL. Nope, can't stand the place and I don't need a specific reason. But if I like the band enough I'll go, grin and bear it. Second, I'm gonna speed past a couple opening acts in a blitzkrieg review."

Interviews: Interview with Cody Childers of Into The Void
Cuda">Cuda writes "Cameron (Bass and vocals) and Cody Childers head up one of the most powerful young metal bands around today, Into The Void. They blend new school attitude, and technology with old school work ethic, and sound. With two releases under their belt, See You Pay and Black Dawn, plus thousands of miles of touring, these young guns have bucked traditional ways of getting to their audience for going it alone with both records being done in their studios, on their own label, booking gigs with all sorts of bands be it rock, metal or hardcore punk to even creating their own videos. You would do well to check out Into The Void and their past catalogue while they're working on the new one. In the meantime, we’ve talked to Cody (guitar) about what's happening at Into The Void's home base, and what fans may expect in the future."

Detroit does not have enough Oi bands, hell the midwest does not have enough Oi bands. I don't profess to be an expert on what defines Oi, or what is and what isn't. But I do think I know good, and Bad Assets for a three song CD is good! Take two parts Death In Custody Ralph on vocals, Ali on drums, add in Matt Assault on guitar with John Elbeau on bass you have band that may in the long run should have some broad appeal. This what I mean about Oi. To me, the music represents working class values, ethics, and family, You would think especially in these times music like this by bands like this would be much more popular."

I couldn't dig it any more than I do already. "Are You For Real" represents to me what keeps me intrigued and still loving punk rock. Skid Marx on bass, Mike (Aka CircusBoy) on vocals, Gary Adams on guitar, Margaret Dollrod on Guitar, Greasy Carlisi on guitar, Sean Murtagh on drums, and Derek Murtagh on guitar are all well recorded and well traveled music veterans who have not lost their lust for wreaking havoc onstage, and evidently in the studio too, with this release. Ten songs that pay homage to the shit that started it all for us, the Stooges, Dead Boys ect., and they do it better than 98% of the bands passing themselves off as old school these days."

Gimme a tall glass, plenty of ice, mix in metallic riffs, the occasional melodic lead line, shake in grizzled vocals, with a liberal amount of bottom end bass and rocket fueled drumming, blend on hi for 43 minuets and chase with a keg of frothy on tap beer, pitcher and pitchers of beer. The Loose Screws out of Marietta, Georgia make no bones about where their loyalties and hearts (and livers) go with just about all of the disc aptly titled Have Another Brew"

What year did area rock die? Was it when Nirvana came along? Or, was it when Motley Crue pissed away true rock n roll spirit settling instead for life's excess and musical mediocrity? Dont get me wrong there are the old war horses out there who in many loyal fans mind never stopped being relevant,bands like Iron Maiden,Judas Priest,Motorhead ect... But where was the next generation? Guns N Roses imploded before they reached Rolling Stones status,LA Guns stuck with record exes that wont promote properly,Hanoi Rocks tried but ultimately settled for the Asian and European tour circuit before they called their second go around quits. So, who's taking a crack at it today? Who can one day given the right breaks pack them in at Joe Louis Arena, or Staples Center for example? New Disaster out of Austin Texas,Crank County Daredevils from North Carolina,and the Sex Slaves out of New York City are a few that come to mind.All three are different in their approach to hard rock but what sets the Sex Slaves apart form this select group is the accessibility of their songs,the sound, and stage presence."

Day two of the weekend rock n roll express takes the Black Knots, Grommet, Smoke Theory, and brand spankin new band Halfmoon Highway to Simon' s in Allen Park.Michigan.Now although Globalpunkreview.com did not book the show we took an interest in helping out wherever possible, what’s good for our friends is good for us, and vice versa. So we had thrown fliers out all over the web for this one, while the boots on the ground people took care of business elsewhere. Simons seemed upon first entry to be a dance club/live venue/sports bar all rolled up into one, much bigger than Fridays Longhorn Saloon in ....Toledo..... The place seemed to get pretty full rather quickly as show time drew near, which in itself is unusual ,in my mind people come out form their rocks later in the evening."
