U.K. indie rockers Wat Tyler have one of the most sarcastic senses of humor this side of Half Man Half Biscuit on their own albums, but it's on their occasional side trips as the old-school skinhead rockers Hard Skin that they really let their smart-arse flag fly. Same Meat, Different Gravy is 13 tracks' worth of deadpan parodies of U.K. street-punk that rocks harder than nearly every "real" band in the subgenre. Part of that is simply because sentiments like "Two Chords - Two Fingers" and "Law and Order (Up Your Arse)" score their points much more effectively when you're not worried that the singer thinks he's actually making a deep sociopolitical statement, but mostly it's because Hard Skin are not just gifted parodists, but genuinely talented musicians. There are hooks aplenty on these songs, and the lyrics seem even funnier because they're so much fun to shout along with at top volume. Smart, catchy, and wickedly funny, Same Meat, Different Gravy is an essential listen for any old-school U.K. punk fans. ~ Stewart Mason

At first glance, the Exploding Hearts seem like mere revivalists. From the pink and yellow cover to their 1977 looks to their influences, it would be easy to dismiss them. But you need to hold the phone a minute and listen, because the Exploding Hearts are the best punk band to come along in a long time, maybe since the original wave. About those influences, here is a partial list: the early Clash if Mick Jones wrote all the songs and the Only Ones or Buzzcocks at their emotional best, but also classic power pop sounds like a (much) tougher Rubinoos, rock & roll like a tighter and sober New York Dolls, and the lo-fi approach of Billy Childish.

While members of Division of Laura Lee sport pedigrees from outfits like the Smoke and Outstand, which don't necessarily carry much name recognition outside of Sweden, and have released a handful of European singles (and even a full-length in France), the group's 2002 effort, Black City, serves as their proper introduction to the United States market. Released by the same folks who introduced the Hives to the States, namely Burning Heart/Epitaph Records, it is inevitable that Division of Laura Lee is going to garner all sorts of comparisons to their black-and-white-clad countrymen. However, within the first 30 seconds of Black City it becomes quite obvious that the two bands are really very different. Whereas the Hives' approach to music is the sonic equivalent of a powder keg igniting, Division of Laura Lee has a longer, slower-burning fuse, making it obvious which one should have the better staying power. The Hives seem to have been constructed in an isolated suburban garage where the members were hermetically sealed inside with nothing but a turntable and a copy of the Nuggets box set (and maybe some Iggy Pop, Rolling Stones, New Bomb Turks, and Oblivians records), and while Division of Laura Lee may have been eavesdropping from outside of the door, they weren't as narrow in their musical diet, as their music is infused with shades of D.C. rock like Fugazi and Nation of Ulysses. Black City gets off to a rocking start with "Need to Get Some" and its restrained, steadily chugging riff. For its duration, the song ebbs and flows, building tension and threatening to explode, but ultimately it never quite combusts. Dramatic tension? Perhaps. But ultimately it just feels a little unsatisfying. "We've Been Planning This for Years," "Second Rule Is," and "Number One" are probably the closest Division ...
