Lou Siffer & The Howling Demons: The Devil’s Ride

Walking through the gym and out the door is the only time I really feel cool. I’m no mopy schmuck but it’s hard to beat that moment; you’ve just accomplished something healthy which you could’ve easily brushed off and your … Read the rest of this entry →

Tuesday Time Machine: The Exploited Circa 1996

It was a tough go deciding between Beat the Bastards and 1990′s The Massacre. Though the latter seems much more snarling, spitting and downright angry, the former is more metallic. Scottish legends The Exploited were the definition of crossover, evolving … Read the rest of this entry →
