Teeth For Eyes return with their debut full length record, “Mines Along The Strand” via The Charon Collective. It’s a high powered, adrenaline laced, solid slice of punk rock n’ roll. The band features members of a variety of indie and punk rock legends in their own right and the sounds found on this record certainly encompasses that experience that only well-seasoned musicians can bring you. This isn’t a dated sounding album nor is it a rehash of the past, this is a legitimately great set of songs that will have you swooning and singing along with, in no time at all.… Continued →

So, Light The Way dropped what many consider to be the best album of their careers back on Friday, “Expel”. The album is a no holds barred, action packed, passionate and altogether adrenaline charged love letter to the lost, lonely, and broken hearted. There truly is something for everyone in these songs and in these powerful lyrics. Not only is there fun and light hearted tongue in cheek humor, but there is also serious subject matter and a cry out to God to deliver us from our brokenness and our despair.… Continued →

Breakaway is a one-man oi/punk band from south Texas. In fact, all guitars, bass, “beats” (does this mean a drum machine?) and vocals on Warrior are handled by David Burke. The EP is produced by Breakaway as well, which I assume means Burke again. While this is impressive in many ways, it can also be limiting. We’ll come back to that as a recurring theme on this EP. The tempos, for the most part, are fast and furious, and yet there is a rock and roll undertone to the sounds.… Continued →

Their musical inspiration comes primarily from 90s punk rock (new school punk, skate punk, and a little bit of pop-punk too), but their lyrical inspiration is the message of salvation. This point is made very clear on their Bandcamp page (https://homonovux.bandcamp.com/… Continued →
