First, staff writer Renaldo gives his take on Seaway's Hoser:
Next, reader Nedsammy dives into the self-titled album from Sweden's Holograms:Their cheesiness is very neatly stapled to the stigma of what pop-punk should sound like and it's a big reason why musically, Hoser is plain old in-your-face, take-it-or-leave-it fun.
Finally, editor Joe Pelone reviews the Split 7-inch from The Capitalist Kids and Tight Bros:The problem with the album, for me, is that the rest of it doesn't sound half as vital and grabbing as the highlights. At first, the tracks between my favorites shot past in a great whoosh of gloomy post-punk okay-ness.
