ONE EYE SHUT „Last in line”
Founded in the year 2003, ONE EYE SHUT want to tie up to the good, old rock. That succeeds pretty well.
ALLEGIANCE „Overlooked”
Having just recovered from the most impressive debut album from Canadas Go It Alone, up and coming hardcore label Rivalry Records follow it up with an even more confronting slice of metallic bludgeoning in the form of San Franciscos Allegiance. Overlooked is the name of this new 12 track affair and it fairly well blazes a trail right through your skull in very quick time.
GEMINI:FIVE „Black:Anthem”
How much space to waste on this one? Ok, thats probably a little unfair, but considering my lack of positivism regarding their debut, I wasnt terribly enthused about hearing Gemini Fives sophomore effort. The most striking aspect about 2003s Babylon Rockets for me at least was the audacious marketing of the band as the new Motley Crue! At the time, Nikki and Co hadnt even contemplated a reunion and as such Gemini Five were seemingly on their way to plugging a hole in the market.
