The Press Fire – New Dress New Rules (c) 2006 Indivisible by Zero MusicSo… Some of the !upstarter team were less than enchanted with The Press Fire's release, “New dress, New rules”. Personally, I liked it. Grrrls Rule! There are a few moments of chaos but all together, a good album the the grrrl who doesn't die. Lots of fun, lots of energy, lots o' grrrl. It has a sort of Babes sound which I can appreciate. MY TWO THUMBS UP!Krystal Tolle

Ill Nino [Under Cover Sessions]
Ill Nino The Under Cover Sessions (c) 2006 Cement Shoes RecordsPrior to the release of their next LP, Ill Nino (or their label) attempts to cash in with a brief 5 song e.p. It contains 2 original studio tracks that suck and 3 covers. The Peter Gabriel cover and the Nirvana cover are good everything else is pretty lame. They have a Sepulturaesque tribal drum thing going and that is cool. Here is the deal though, growling vocals suck a goat. Get over your self and learn to sing. It you can’t do that, at least learn to annunciate. Get it? Got it? Good! They sent me a sticker though and I appreciate that. Yet still Two thumbs up, 8 thumbs down.With all our love,Team !upstarter
Endwell [Homeland Insecurity]
Endwell – Homeland Insecurity (c) 2006 Victory RecordsEndwell? It doesn’t even start well. Jimmy says, �It’s like they have all this mello music with someone screaming over it. If you’re gonna be screaming like that have the music to support it. It’s top heavy. Jerry Actually says, �This CD is pointless and pissed. Every time you listen to this CD god kills a kitten and Jebus cries. I give it 18 thumbs down. Eject. Sincerely,Team !upstarter
