Civet - Hell Hath No Fury
By The Rockvine
Out September 9th, 2008
Hellcat Records

"Hell Hath No Fury" is the first release by the all-girl punk outfit, Civet, for Tim Armstrong's punk/ska/reggae record label, Hellcat Records. This record does not fuck around. It is a pure street punk fury with blistering speed, great guitar leads, group vocal choruses and memorable hooks.

It is inevitable that this band will be compared to the Distillers (previously on Hellcat, now a new band called Spinnerette), Hole and any other band that happens to feature chick singers with scratchy, aggressive punk vocals. Yes.. they all sound alike... lets move past that and talk about songs.

The fact is Civet has some kick-ass punk rock songs. Personal favorites include opening scorcher, "Alibi," the fourth track "Pay Up" and the title track/closer "Hell Hath No Fury." This band is designed to see live with group vocals in nearly every chorus to which I'm sure you will want to sing along.

The record comes out in a few weeks, but for now, check out Civet and hear tunes on their Myspace page. CLICK HERE for www.MySpace.com/Civet

My Ruin - Throat Full of Heart

Let me say two things.

1. This record (and this band in general) are the epitome of Rock.
2. This record (and this band in general) is not for everyone.

What My Ruin does so well, is bring together an amalgamation of Rock, Hardcore, Old-school Punk and Metal in a way that many have tried but not many have achieved with this level of skill. The riffs throw back to Black Sabbath, the drums call out a more modern rock/metal sound and the vocals that are more akin to Hardcore a la Rollins era Black Flag.

I met this band on Friday night at the record release party (video interview coming SOON) and rather than tell you all about what I think of this record, I recommend you check it out for yourself. If what I described to you sounds appealing - go in with a positive attitude and you won't be disappointed. If all that I described sounds horrible to you, go in with an open mind - take a listen and see if it's for you.
