Bullet For My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire
The first three tracks aside, Scream Aim Fire is a disappointing release from a band who’ve
been given the opportunities and the resources to come up with something
far more musically adventurous. The combination of Matt’s cliché
lyrics and mediocre song writing has ensured that this record is average
at best.

Change! - CD/DVD
If you’re after a mix CD
for the car or you’d like to see some of your favourite band’s videos
somewhere other than the internet then Change is a worthwhile
purchase, one which is for a good cause!

Trap Them - Seance Prime
This CD is not for the faint
hearted but if fifteen minutes of aural violence sounds like your idea
of a good time then this is for you.

A New Renaissance - A New Renaissance
There are definitely some aspects
of A New Renaissance’s sound that need some work, but this
CD shows a lot of promise, something that I hope the band can capitalize
on if they stick around for another album or two. Considering “A New
Renaissance” was self recorded and produced I think they’ve done
an admirable job.

Fear Like Us - Fear Like Us
Fear Like Us is one
Australian band who deserves your attention. If you’re a fan of any
of the artists mentioned in the record’s foreword then you need to
hear this record. It’s as simple as that.

Coalesce - Salt And Passage
Fingers crossed Coalesce
are true to their word and we see a new record in 2008.

Day I Die - Murderess
A quality local release that you
should give a spin if you’re a fan of anyone from Darkest Hour
to NoFX.

Down - Down III: Over The Under
If I’d reviewed Over The
Under in 2007 I have no doubt that it would have made my top 10 list.
Sonically the record is flawless and there isn’t a weak track on offer.
A worthy addition to any record collection!

The Rocket Summer - Do You Feel
As I mentioned, Do You Feel does drag a little towards the end but it’s an otherwise enjoyable record. Bryce Avary and The Rocket Summer know they’re not changing the world but they’re doing their best to make sure we all have a good time… and that’s enough for me.

We Are The Emergency - Demo
In their short existence We Are The Emergency have already landed themselves on a slew of high profile shows so they're obviously doing something right, but my advice is to get off the bandwagon and ditch the screaming because it does nothing for the band's sound.Hopefully these guys take note and make the most of their abilities.
