Direct Hit! – Wasted Mind By Spriha Direct Hit! is a band that gives pop punk a better name. The angry vocals of Nick Woods and upbeat sound of the rest of the band outshine the run-of-the-mill bands that have taken over mainstream media . They have managed to create a great equilibrium between […]
Oxmoore, The Black and White Album By: Craig LeSieg First, I want to point out that this album is independently produced, recorded, and mixed by the band. It’s one of the best I’ve heard. Crisp, clear, and well put together, it’s first class all the way. Congrats Austin Garrett on a job very well done. That […]
Criminal X – ERNIE ELSE IS A POLICE INFORMANT By Craig LeSieg I fucking love these guys! Sham 69 and The Exploited had a deranged love child and the coppers named it Criminal X.

Well, what can be said about The Venomers that they haven’t said themselves. Really, this is a group of guys that have a lot to say, and say it without swearing. It’s refreshing to see a band so transparent with quotes like ” THE VENOMERS WILL PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS AT YOU. THEY WILL PLAY THEM ALL […]
So everyone here at PHP is super busy getting ready for Megacon. Except me, little lonely me, so I get the other stuff, and I love it! I’m getting to review some really great music.
