Fury favorite, Danko Jones, played the 9:30 club one week ago today. Strangely enough, none of us here even knew about it until today. Hrm… considering they were opening up for Our Lady Peace (reviewed by DCist with no mention of Danko—fuckers)… it’s not hard to surmise why none of us were paying attention.
Later tonight, [...]

Danko Jones was in DC?
September 29, 2005New Ill Nino Today
September 27, 2005“One Nation Underground”
Nothing new here, just your standard melodic Latin metal. I like it; review soon.
GWAR + Devildriver
September 23, 2005Yup, GWAR and Devildriver at the 9:30 Club in D.C. on October 22nd for the value price of $17 per ticket (plus service charge bullshit) which are on sale now.
Unfortunately, I have a fucking wedding to attend in Annapolis that night. (grumble, grumble, bitch & moan)
Social Distortion: Sex, Love and Rock ‘n’ Roll
September 19, 2005Self-parody. Brings nothing new to the table.

Saw Ozzfest in West Palm Beach 2 weekends ago. I was looking forward to hearing most of the bands on the second stage, since quite a few have [...]
Opeth: Ghost Reveries
September 6, 2005Band website: http://www.opeth.com/
Starts off pretty slammin’. This is definitely a tightly-constructed, rich-sounding death metal album (if ever a beast should exist…) with some crazy progressions and time signatures (kinda’ reminiscent of Mastodon without the Southern slang). I guess that’s why they’re called “progressive death metal”. This guy can sing beautifully and growl like Satan; even [...]
Crickets Chirping…
September 3, 2005Just so you know, bloodsimple have been added to the Soulfly show at Recher Theater on Oct. 23rd.
In shocking news, Blistering reports: “Fear Factory: ‘Transgression’ Sales Fail To Live Up To Expectations”. Well, no shit… the new stuff is an abomination… a pustular ingrown hair on the shit-encrusted ass of early 21st century metal.
Finally, download [...]
