MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL by Hal MacLean; issue #223, Dec. 2001 V/A "Subterranean Suburbia" CD - Looks like Subcultured Records has pooled together a bunch of suburban New York and Long Island punk and hardcore bands for their debut release. Featured are: 5c DEPOSIT, SUBTERFUGE, SCARY GERMAN GUY, DDF, and QUARTER LIFE CRISIS. Yeah, I've never heard of those bands either. Actually my favorite tunes are from WHOOPIE CUSHION, the BACKUP PLAN, JIMMY HIGGINS, NEWGROUND, ROB STATIC & INTENSE. Now's your big opportunity to check out this distinguished scene.

UNDER THE VOLCANO by Eric Weiss; issue #65 Jimmy Smash - "The Marriage of Murder and Suicide" - Kickass, melodic, Metalcore! Incredible Playing Throughout, similar to Shai Hulud. Powerful, angry lyrics. Be thankful guys like this have a band to vent out their rage in, or theyjust might kill you or your loved ones. Recommended to fans of Hatebreed or American Nightmare. For your own safety, support this and; you will be happy that you did! (CD)
