0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

A handful of really good hard rock bands hitting the shelves that are really hard to categorize. Throw these Seattle sonics on the same page with rookie sensations like Talon, Speed and Defuse in terms of brand new rock that leans on absolutely nothing. Underride have great vocals, a loud punchy guitar tone and a good sense of punk overdose as their main weapons. These songs are hip, unique and completely timeless...nowhere near as sleazy as Sweden and not glam banding it up like the retro vamps. This could hit radio or simply stay within whatever circle they call home. Could have a huge hit on their hands with a Lady Gaga cover. Smart.
