No Harm Done / Offsides – Split — Seafoam, 2009

Seafoam Recordings teams up No Harm Done from Florida and Offsides from Connecticut on this limited edition split 7".

The a-side features the final three tracks from No Harm Done, who just recently called it quits. This Floridian outfit continues their melodic hardcore and punk assault that follows the lead of Strike Anywhere and Rise Against. I've always found this band to be run of the mill and these songs don't really change that - "Vs. Vultures" is, however, the best thing I've heard by the band. But they're since broken up, so I guess that's said and done. It's rather ironic their final song here is titled "Goodbye."

Offsides handle the b-side with three new tracks. These songs pick up where their previous It's a Struggle to Communicate EP left off. You get fast-paced hardcore of the early Revelation catalog with the scorching vocals of Danielle Allen. "Vacant Lots" is blistering. "Gone" and "With Great Honor" are equally as high-octane but with a bit more melody. If you dig on Gorilla Biscuits or With Honor then you should definitely check out Offsides.

Songs of a Lost World
Capitol, Fiction, Lost Music, Polydor/Universal (2024)

It's been sixteen years since The Cure released their last album. I don't know if anyone really knew what to expect, but it's one of the most influential bands in history so expectations were high. The Verdict? Those expectations were met. It'd be silly to say Songs of a Lost World is a "return to form" as the band and … Read more

There are few bands that hit with the mix of raw emotion and musical talent as a live City Mouse show. There are even fewer bands that can capture that live feeling on a record. It’s been a long 7 years since Get Right, but So Far Out keeps it moving as if no time has passed. Of course, the … Read more

Ideally, I would be a bit more interested in art. In visual art- paintings, sketches, MS Paint monstrosities- whatever.

I spend a lot of time listening to music and, subsequently, I see a … Read more
