imadethismistake – It's Okay — The Cottage Records, 2009

imadethismistake play catchy folk-infused punk. It's a simple concoction, but it works well for the band. It's Okay is an eleven song LP with awesome artwork done by EMY (aka Bughead). Kylewilliam Campol's vocals match the music nicely, and the music is never too overbearing or haughty. It's evident that imadethismistake have found their niche. It's Okay is a pleasant release.

Argos has cited Jonathan Richman and Axl Rose as his … Read more

The Slow Death

No Light To See
Don’t Sing Records (2025)

Few bands have as fitting a name as The Slow Death. They play forlorn, self-deprecating punk that’s heavily influenced by lonesome country. The music itself is more driving and punchy, but many of the lyrics would fit just well in a somber old-timey country ballad. It’s forceful music that punches inward instead of at The Man. The first song is … Read more
