Chaser – Numb America
Artist: Chaser
Album: Numb America
Label: Felony Records
Purchase: CD Baby
Release Date: 2006
Overall: 8.0
Music: 7.5
Lyrics: 8.0
Production: 8.0
Numb America is an album that will be compared to Pennywise and Western Addiction. Although they have two different sounds, you will find a similarity to them in the band Chaser.
I listened to it once, and thought it was good punk music with great lyrics. Then I set the album aside for some time and found myself listening to it again to see if I still felt the same. That second time around I found myself listening to “Status”, “Autopilot: Mind Your Own”, “Set It Off” and “Great Unknown” with the volume turned up a little more than previously set. This is a punk band with a California edge. Your going to have your political songs with the fast paced rhythm and the song about the O.C scene…or lack of according to them but its a great package of music your going to have. The reason I compared them above to Pennywise and Western Addiction was that in some songs I heard a similarity to Pennywise earlier work and then as I was shuffling through my ipod for another similarity I found Western Addiction. Although Western Addiction sound is faster and harder they both have that punk rock edge that I feel Chaser holds. This record is quite good and whether they get to be as big as Pennywise, Bad Religion or any other punk band its up to you, we’ll have to wait and see.

Bottom Of the Hudson
Trevor Butler, the bass player for Bottom of the Hudson, died on July 29th, when their tour van went off the highway following a tire blowout. The accident also injured others including their new drummer who was in critical condition at a nearby hospital but is now in stable condition after fracturing his skull . BOTH had just wrapped up a string of dates in support of their latest release, Fantastic Hawk, which came out on Absolutely Kosher in July. Absolutely Kosher are also accepting donations on behalf of Trevor’s family and for Greg’s medical bills resulting from the accident. Our hearts and sympathies go out to them at this terrible time.

Against Me! – New Wave
Artist: Against Me!
Album: New Wave
Label: Sire Records
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: July 10, 2007
Overall: 9.0
Music: 9.0
Lyrics: 9.0
Production: 9.5
Against Me! is one of folk-punk finniest bands out there today. Fronted by Gabel for almost a decade now, Against Me! New Wave is not a renovation of their usual sound —given the fact that this is their major label debut.
New Wave is stimulating. That is one way of putting it. This album may not be totally new, but it’s Against Me! at their best. One thing that’s new from Against Me! on this album is that they have a summer romance song featuring Tegan from the Tegan and Sara on “Borne on the FM Waves of the Heartâ€. The song is actually quite good, but a little to long, you will find yourself dragging slowly to the very end. One thing that you are sure to find on New Wave are their political/culture charging lyrics their known to sing about. From their single “White People for Peace†to title track “New Wave†they have a way making their songs sound not too preachy while still getting a message out. The album I think is awesome from start to finish. When I listen to it, I hear progression as songwriters not sellout music as some of their fans may think. If people say they lost their passion, they must have not listened to the songs. The record is great and I advise new and old fans to pick up a copy.
Track Listing
1. New Wave
2. Up the Cuts
3. Trash Unreal
4. White People for Peace
5. Stop!
6. Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart
7. Piss and Vinegar
8. American Abroad
9. Animal
10. The Ocean
