I will say that I'm glad "Houseboat Babies" made the cut. Been listening to that jam for a while now. So, opinions? We'll give … Continue reading Wanna Hear the New Reptar Album?

A well-balanced blend of all types of punk rock is what KaterMass offers up on this album and it works really … Continue reading CD Review: Kater Mass
