Motörhead – Motörizer Review
Originally written by Brady Humbert. Ah, Motorhead. Though the argument for Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden can certainly weigh in with much clout, the impact Lemmy and co. have made since 1975 cannot be denied by any stretch. There …

Today Is The Day – Supernova (Reissue) Review
I first heard Today Is The Day when I saw them live in 1999, six years after this record was initially released. My buddy Kevin and I saw them in a shit-hole club in Nashville …
