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.

Unbolted, unbridled and fiercely independent, Red Rock Rebellion are the epitome of what's great about do-it-yourself music. This Ohio act's debut, is a hard rock and blues soaked gospel, conducted like a sweaty Hellfire and brimstone preacher bent on saving the Devil himself. Cuts like 'The Seething Horde' and 'Victory is Ours Now (For Now)' represent some of the faster cuts, a culmination similar to Ted Nugent meeting Motorhead at Myrtle Beach. The slower licks, emphasis on hook-laden blues, diversifies the punk intensity. Album highlight is 'You Bring the Thunder, I'll Bring the Lightning'. The album comes with an album themed comic book.
