Parade Brigade #1 Back Cover
This was the back cover of my old fanzine Parade Brigade. We picked a bunch of random flyers for the back. No real reason for picking any of them.

Splitting Headache
Splitting Headache S/T EP Collapse Records Splitting Headache are a great new band from the shore featuring members of Tear It Up and Full Speed Ahead. If you like those bands, you will love Splitting Headache as this is a continuation of what was previously established in those bands. I especially dig the multiple lifted Suicidal Tendencies riffs in School Of Life Drop Out. Once these guys have another record out I think people are really going to take note because having heard some newer material I have to say it is an even stronger statement than this record. I…

Report Suspicious Activities
Report Suspicious Activities S/T CD Alternative Tentacles Records I was pretty curious about this record before I heard it. This band is the new project for members of Jawbox and Articles of Faith. Cool combo. What you get however is a mixed bag of a record that ultimately is a bit of a letdown. Some of the songs on here generally are really good. They are heavy, sometimes melodic, and a little sludgy. However, a lot of them are either about three minutes too long or get bogged down in a lot of attempting to experiment in the music. There…

Frank Castle Gonna Break Your Neck!
Frank Castle Gonna Break Your Neck! Demo I coulda swore these guys were from England circa 1987 and not Russia circa 2006. Frank Castle… are a great band from Russia who play fast hardcore ala Ripcord, Heresy, SSD, Voorhees, Larm, etc. I really hear a lot of Larm when I listen to this. The songs are hyper fast and to the point. And with song titles like Fuck Your Flag, Everybody Is A Cop, and Destroy The Hippie Culture you can definitely tell where these guys stand. I dig the anti-nazi stance they take on their website also. I hope…

Soul Swallower-Self Titled
Soul Swallower S/T EP Collapse Records Holy shit! Over the summer I kept hearing about a project members of, amongst others, Mind Eraser had going called Soul Swallower. A friend who saw them live described them as “Mind Eraser, only better.” With these very high expectations I knew I had to hear this. Thankfully our friend Bob Shedd put this out on Collapse. Soul Swallower are similar to Mind Eraser but have a bit more of an influence from bands like Integrity, Citizens Arrest, and No Comment. To the layman, I’m sure both bands will sound similar, but there is…

Signal Lost-You’ll Never Get Us Down Again
Signal Lost You’ll Never Get Us Down 7” Prank Records After loving 2004’s Children Of The Wasteland, Signal Lost have come back with four more songs of excellent melodic hardcore. This record reminds me a lot of Husker Du and even some DC emo. If you liked their first LP this is a great progression from that. My only, minor, complaint is that Ashley’s vocals seem to be mixed pretty low. I liked on Children… how her vocals were so high in the mix and really stuck out on the record. Former members of Deathreat and J-Church.
