New Review Update: NOFX; Headacher
Are you suffering from Bomb the Music Industry! fatigue? Well, Doc Johnny G has just the cure for you! Two shots of new reviews!
First, staff reviewer Ricky went and saw NOFX Live in Hollywood and he dug it:
Once Fat Mike's drink was put in his microphone's cup holder and Eric Melvin's five or six shots (of what looked like either whiskey or tequila) were lined up on his amplifier, NOFX finally got on stage. I could not have asked for better NOFX show. The setlist had evenly distributed songs ranging from Punk In Drublic to Self-Entitled.
Then, I review a new flexi by Headacher called Headacher:
Headacher balances themselves between modern-complex hardcore such as Botch and the lumbering sounds of neo-hardcore bands like Title Fight. "Since Edwin C. Moses Took Over Miami" finds the band rooted in a shifting, twisting riff. Instead of driving the band forward, the riff dances around the off-kilter rhythm, making the track feel purposefully unbalanced. Whereas old hardcore was meant to drive the listener forward, this is more of floating rhythm that is none-the-less heavy.
