Cynimatics – “Passive Heart-Attack”
Record Label: Self-Released
Genre: Ska/Punk/Pop
The first that I’ve ever heard of this local Pittsburgh based band was a few weeks ago at a Supervillains show where twelve people showed up. They were a three-piece that covered some Streetlight Manifesto and Leftover Crack songs. That night was also their first ever real gig. Now they have a new album out…which is available for free on their Bandcamp page!

Record Label: Fat Wreck Chords
Genre: Punk/Bluegrass
Buy On Amazon
There are dozens of punk bands that say they have bluegrass/country roots and all you get out of them is a standup bass sound with the occasional twangy guitar and possibly a Social Distortion cover. Old Man Markley are quite a few cuts up above the rest.

It’s been a very long time since the wacky Brits in Snuff have decided to bless the punk rock masses with a new album. Have they changed much since the turn of the century? Are there more or less horns? Have they gone all pop? Read More

The second of today’s “horroriffic” album review lineup are the Finnish product Snow White’s Poison Bite and their extremely longwinded album titled “Featuring Dr. Gruesome and the Gruesome Gory Horror Show”. Say that ten times fast while looking in the mirror and patting your belly.

Opening Bands: Teenage Bottlerocket, Masked Intruder
1…2…3…4! The Queers, Teenage Bottlerocket and Masked Intruder on the same bill? What an awesome punk rock lineup! Once I knew these guys were in town, I knew I wanted to check it out.
