		<title>The English Beat Preview: 2010 Western United States Tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the earliest and critical Ska revivalist groups, The Beat formed in Birmingham, England in 1978. However, to avoid confusion for Phil Collins&#8217; band of the same name, in the United States they are classified as The English Beat. Possibly why the band is so well-liked among fans of various genres, the band manages [...]]]></description>

		<title>Off! &#8211; First EP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everything is alright in the world when Keith Morris is fronting a new Hardcore band.

		<title>The Reactionaries &#8211; 1979</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For any die hard fan of the Minutemen these Reactionaries recordings would no doubt be seen as absolutely essential listening. With that being said I am just about as casual of a Minutemen listener as anyone could be. However it is clear from these original practice recordings that Mike Watt, D.

		<description><![CDATA[The first half of this C.D. is made up of new recordings of old Ultra Violence songs and the second half presents the old, more raw and lo- fi recordings that the band did in the 1980&#8217;s.

		<description><![CDATA[Before listening to Ballyhoo! I was unaware of the quality and quantity of reggae bands that come out of places that aren&#8217;t Hawaii, Southern California, and Jamaica. As much as I am inclined to say that the best reggae bands come from So-Cal(and they do), Ballyhoo! might have gone as far as to prove me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Devil&#8217;s Brigade are led by Rancid&#8217;s Matt Freeman and play hard edged Punk mixed with Rockabilly and other Roots Rock. There&#8217;s some country influences here and maybe even a bit of Bluegrass, but none of these songs are mellow at all. Any Rancid fan could tell you that Freeman&#8217;s vocals are just about as gruff [...]]]></description>

With bass lines that sometimes echo early Descendents and raw, untamed vocals straight out of the book of the F.U.&#8217;s these guys seem to know what they&#8217;re doing.

		<title>Tard &#8211; Dinning with the Lepers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a time when pop-punk wasn&#8217;t a four letter word. A time before blink-182, Simple Plan and Good Charlotte inundated the masses with nasal, whiney tunes that weren&#8217;t much more than a sorry excuse for the sub-genre. Bands like NOFX, The Vandals and Guttermouth used to be the kings of the block. Unfortunately for [...]]]></description>

With the loud noises, wild antics and raucous mind sets, it&#8217;s not difficult to understand that perception; specifically, with a band like Disastroid.
