Aktion 13F14 (4:57) link Tomahawk combines the rockist tendencies of Faith No More with the weirdo prog freakout of Mr. Bungle, two of Tomahawk vocalist Mike Patton's more popularly received projects. The band is actually the project of former Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison, and on Mit Gas, the band's second album, he drops his prior fight for melodic lead, letting Patton growl, sustain, babble, stutter, croon, and yowl through each precision-stopped, layered track. Maybe all those nights of getting booed off the stage while touring with Tool (after the 2001 self-titled release) taught them a thing or two about indulging star power. With John Stanier (formerly of Helmet) and Kevin Rutmanis (the Cows, the Melvins) also on board

Rain (2:55)13. So Much Trouble In The World (3:45) link What does a veteran band do when it's some 25 years into its career and wants to record a new album but doesn't have any new original songs? Why, record a covers album of course! And that's exactly what Madness
, the kings of British ska revival, have done for their ninth studio album, 2005's The Dangermen Sessions, Vol. 1. It's their first new album since 1999's Wonderful, but they've been active in the interim, playing gigs on a regular basis. This means that the group sounds supple and professional, even if the lack of new songs in six years does suggest that the band
Jello Biafra with D.O.A. 2007-04-19 09:24:00 Last Scream of the Missing Neighbors (1990)01. That's Progress (3:14)02. Attack of the Peacekeepers (2:44)03. Wish I Wish in El Salvador (2:54)04. Power Is Boring (2:49)05. We Gotta Get Out of This Place (4:49)06. Full Metal Jackoff (13:56)link The first of Jello's post-Dead Kennedys collaborations was a barnburner; hooking up with Canada's legendary DOA ensured all the punk power that fans could want would be there in a big way. Even though Joey Keithley and company aren't quite as agile as Jello's ex-bandmates -- everything here is more brutally Motorhead in feel than the nervous aggro and sometimes restraint of the Kennedys -- this album can't be faulted for sheer crunch. Jello himself is in fine voice throughout, tackling his favored targets with the frenetic bile that he's made his own. Some of the songs have become outdated -- "Wish I Was in El Salvador" is very much of the '80s -- but "Attack of the Peacekeepers," memorably tarring NATO's forces as "the joke brigade,"
Jello Biafra & The Melvins 2007-04-18 13:24:00 Never Breathe What You Can't See (2004) 01. Plethysmograph (4:50)02. McGruff the Crime Dog (4:18)03. Yuppie Cadillac (4:31)04. Islamic Bomb (6:19)05. The Lighter Side of Global Terrorism (4:35)06. Caped Crusader (6:08)07. Enchanted Thoughtfist (4:19)08. Dawn of the Locusts (5:13) link For Never Breathe What You Can't See, Jello Biafra has stowed his spoken word pulpit behind the enormous amplifiers of the Melvins. But his reinsertion as a frontman hasn't dulled his political haranguing or biting cynicism -- on the contrary, it seems to have invigorated him. With Buzz Osborne's guitar walking point, the Melvins deploy a hybrid of full-bore Dead Kennedys revivalism and their own brand of sludgy metal. Their fans might wish for a little more of the latter, as the white phosphorous punk/hardcore screeds outweigh the more purely Melvins moments. Still, Osborne does unleash a particularly sticky, damaged blues guitar line on "Caped Crusader," and there are pieces of the Melvins' signa

In So Many Ways (3:04) link Granted, the title No Substance is clearly intended as a put-on, yet there's more than a kernel of truth to it as well -- with each successive release, Bad Religion
seems more and more to be simply going through the motions, bludgeoning listeners with a streamlined punk attack that carries increasingly little weight. Tracks like "The Biggest Killer in American History," "Sowing the Seeds of Utopia," and "The State of the End of the Millennium Address" a

They Were Insane (8:42)06. The Punch and Judy Tango (12:57)07. Map of Bubbles (Short Version) (0:20) link Bandleader John Lurie really hit his stride with this live set, recorded in Tokyo with perhaps the strongest incarnation of the Lounge Lizards
. The passionate, furious vibe is set from the outset on the title track, featuring the slashing guitar of Marc Ribot and the funky bass of Erik Sanko. But Lurie's more sentimental side comes through his sax on the doleful "It Could Have Been Very, Very Beautiful." In all, the disc represents what is great about the Lounge Lizards: a serious band that doesn't take itself too seriously. The Lounge Lizards (1981) 01. Incident on South Street (3:26)02.

of Conformity
's 2005 release, In the Arms of God, many fans wondered if the group was over. After all, it had been a long time since the band had issued a studio set (2000's America's Volume Dealer). During this extended break, singer/guitarist Pepper Keenan did double duty in Down (2002's Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow), and of course, had a much publicized tryout for the vacated bass position in Metallica (as seen in the indulgent Some Kind of Monster docu-film). But now COC is ready to roar once more, and the group does so on their eighth studio album overall. Joining Keenan once more are o

Blue In The Face (3:05) link Good Mourning is the handsome if dark-eyed offspring of the deliberately melodic From Here to Infirmary LP and Alkaline Trio's more raucous earlier work. Whether or not the band "sold out" (or whatever) when Infirmary arrived with the stamp of ambitious indie Vagrant, the set nevertheless seemed forced. For Good Mourning, Derek Grant replaces Mike Felumlee behind the kit, joining the grating-like-gouda voices and ringing guitars of Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano on the AT's second Vagrant outing. It's an album that kills with catchiness. Though "This Could Be Love" details the steps a jilted lover would take to off him, Skiba's melodic sen
We Are Scientists 2007-04-14 18:12:00 With Love And Squalor (2006) 01. Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt (3:13)02. This Scene Is Dead (3:44)03. Inaction (2:32)04. Can't Lose (3:32)05. Callbacks (2:02)06.

What's The Word (3:18) link While Keith Murray (vocals/guitar), Chris Cain (bass), and Michael Tapper (drums) don a nerdy math-chic look, their glossy indie rock sound is all style. With Love and Squalor marks the band's major-label debut release for Virgin. Sure, fans of Bloc Party, the Killers, the Rapture, and Franz Ferdinand will most likely take to this snazzy 12-song set; however, We Are Scientists offer one element that the rest of the pack does not: more substance than shtick. With Love and Squalor is accessible enough for mainstream alternative rock fans, but also slick enough for those indie rock loyalists who still worship the Smiths.

Mt. Zion has expanded and changed their name, adding three more members to make the original trio of Efrim, Thierry, and Sophie from Godspeed You Black Emperor! a sextet at their core, plus the addition of a huge horn section (one heavily overdubbed contributor on trumpet and trombone) and various others lending vocal, atmospheric, percussive, and textural support. The three new members -- Becky, Jessica, and Iain -- fill out the band's sound with a denser string presence, which crea

Jungle (8:10) link Built to Last proves exactly that, as it seems there is no end in the near future for hardcore veterans Sick of It All. Once again offering a solid package of fast-paced hardcore punk, the New York natives succeed in churning out a handful of new streetwise anthems, including "Closer," "Us vs. Them," and "Burn 'Em Down."
