My reviews

Post by elliot » Tue Feb 17, 2009 3:29 pm

Since probably not everyone on here sees them, I'm going to start posting links to the reviews I write for Scene Point Blank. Just because I know you care.

This one just posted is for the new (International) Noise Conspiracy:
http://www.scenepointblank.com/reviews/2322

And if you want to see past reviews I've done, just click my name and they'll all show up.

They put out ads a couple years ago saying they wanted some new writers, I applied with some of my previous reviews, and they accepted. It's obviously not paid or anything, but it's nice to have stuff published, even if it's just online.

A review of The Pink Spiders:

I also write for Sonic Swap, this neat music sharing website. Here's my first piece for them:

p.s. "Musical Shirpa" was not my doing.

Ah, that explains why the singer goes by Matt Friction.

Hah...yeah....they are pretty terrible. All those Springsteen worship bands I really don't get (Gaslight, Hold Steady, etc.) But I'm not here to rip on what other people like I guess, even if those bands suck.

i cannot seriously believe that someone older than me by a couple of years even wastes time acknowledging releases by bands like "The Pink Spiders" not only that but waste the time to write about that bullshit Exploding Hearts rip off

non-believable

Maybe. If we can get around to it.

Probably not. Closest date is Minneapolis, and I'm trying to not go nuts with spending money. Sam tried really hard to get them here, but to no avail.

The Hold Steady are indeed terrible, but Gaslight Anthem does it just right.

Okay, well you obviously DO mean disrespect, but luckily, your opinion means less than nothing to me. So no big deal!

p.s. Learn how to write sentences and paragraphs like a normal human being.

I actually had them send a promo copy of Pink Spiders to me. They let us choose what we review, provided that it came out within the last six months.

Review of Buried Inside's new one. Though this one isn't amazing, I highly recommend their older stuff.
