Having suffered the tragic loss of drummer Dave Karcich to a brain aneurysm out of the blue, this former side project for Mighty Mighty Bosstones founding member Joe Gittleman (also a former member of mid-period Gang Green) has not only admirably decided to press on, but has made this his full-time trio. And compared to their promising 2002 self-titled debut, Chopstick Bridge benefits from both his greater attention and a more group-like collaboration. Maybe new bassist Amy Griffin's voice isn't as resolute as Gittleman's on her occasional lead turns, but her singing combines more effectively with Gittleman's on his. And with heavier new drummer John Lynch taking Karcich's spot, and roaring production from Paul Q. Kolderie (Pixies, Hole, Radiohead), the band more than fulfills the Hüsker Dü and Replacements comparisons of its bio. Though personally, it's older Boston outfits that come to mind, such as Moving Targets (especially), mixed with a little of the Dogmatics, the Outlets, and even the very early Neighborhoods, as well as a little of later Gang -- including some Gittleman leads that betray one of the prime influences on the above Beantowners (and the Bosstones), the first two LPs of Stiff Little Fingers. Meanwhile, Gittleman's voice is like a thicker Evan Dando, another Mass oldie. Too punk for emos, too rock & roll for punks, too big-chops for indie rockers, Chopstick is nevertheless a strong, loud-guitar-crunch bomb of a record that has a lot going for it, even if it could have been edited down a bit from 14 songs into more full-fitting shape. See the truly hot songs like "Gone and Forgotten" and "Fillmore East" if you need a taste. ~ Jack Rabid

Despite being one of the few Israeli punk outfits to break into markets like the U.S. and Japan, Haifa's Useless ID are no mere anomaly. With a heavy influx of pop -- not dissimilar to blink-182, the Ataris, and No Use for a Name -- the band aligns with Descendents founder Bill Stevenson at his Fort Collins mecca, The Blasting Room, for Redemption, ...

I was saved when I was seven years old. I remember that day so vividly. In Sunday school the lesson was about one must be baptized in order to be born again and to be saved. When I got home, I was so excited, I remember saying to my mother that I needed to be baptized. My mother, the wise person that that she was, began to explain to me that she bore my sins for me until I would become twelve years of age, then at that time I would be responsible to God for all of my sins. My mother asked me did I understand what it meant to be baptized. I told her I knew what that meant and that in order for me to be saved, I must be born again and the only way I could do that was to be baptized. So my mother prepared me to be baptized on the next Sunday that baptism took place. I wasn't afraid because I knew I would be born again and saved by the Holy Spirit. That was the beginning for me confessing my faith in God. I truly believe that since that day forward he has placed many, many of his angels around me and kept me safe through my life's' journey. As many of us do, we grow up in the church and as we get older, we sometimes stray away. Well, I too strayed away. As a matter of fact when my siblings and I were growing up my mother, it felt like to us, went to church, as the kids say twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. I remember us catching the city bus on cold winter nights in Wisconsin either heading to or from church. You see, my mother couldn't drive, so bus it was. During my junior and high school years I sang a cappella with the school chorus. There I learned a lot about how to control my voice. I even took private lessons to refine, sharpen and control my voice, even though my instructor told me I did not need his service because I already had a beautiful God given voice and I did not need his assistance but he didn't mind taking my money if I just wanted to give it to him.As I grew older, my mother made me sing every Sunday in church, in morning service and sometimes in the afternoon services. My mother even made me sing at funerals for church members that passed. Of course, I also sang at church weddings and high school graduations. As a teenager, I didn't want to sing in the church choir any more. It became a chore for me. It wasn't what I wanted to do. In fact I began to sing with a group of my friends and we started singing in the night clubs. We had bookings around Wisconsin, nothing big but we were good singers and as a matter of fact believed we were better than Dianna Ross and the Supremes. We just hadn't made it yet, but we knew our day was coming. I remember once, my group and I had been singing at a couple night clubs around the city and in this one club I saw our next door neighbor. I knew my mother would find out and I knew I would be grounded for life! But my mother, wise as she was, never said anything to me. One night my group and I were singing at a local night club and my mother ...
