Autolux
Transit Transit
TBD
Hi, I’m Meathead. A bunch of days ago, Travis asked me to write a review of the new Autolux record. That guy Jameson originally wanted to review it, but Travis told me he didn’t want him to do it because “he’s a fucking [offensive slang term for homosexual] and I don’t want him [homosexual]ing [...]
The Munroes
Rainbow Son Single
Mbop
So my inbox gets flooded now that I have an @buddyhead email, people really work it hard- they gotta break the bands, the blogosphere is rife, this is rock n’ roll, its all important… lets make it happen, right?
Well here we got some dudes who have their [...]
We Are Hex
Hail to the Goer
Hex Haus / Roaring Colonel
So I’ve been absorbing Autolux’s new album for months now and I was told because I’m too much of a fanboy, because I’d come up with lewd fantasies involving Carla Azar’s titanium swinging arm, because I’d probably go gay for anybody from Failure, [...]

“Say Goodnight to the World”
Fat Possum
Let’s get this outta way, not only is Axl Rose (in our rating system) gonna be stoked on this record but I can’t stop listening to this mother fucker. This CD hasn’t left my stereo since I got it in the mail and randomly listened to it one hot [...]
Busses
“Busses”
Self Released
My immediate, kneejerk reaction to learning I would review a band called “Busses”? “Oh good, another ’superfluous letter’ band ( see Wavves, Mayyors etc.)” continuing the chilling, band name misspelling parallel between early ’10s indie rock and early 00’s rap metal”. Then I reconsidered; how DOES one spell the plural [...]
Australia has made another worthy contribution to cinema with the new film, Animal Kingdom, which is the first film written and directed by David Michôd, a member of the film collective Blue Tongue Films. It’s hard to find a movie to be excited about in the past few years, what with all the comic book [...]
REVIEWS
If you are looking for an honest, no holds barred opinion, send
Buddyhead your stuff to the address below. We'll tackle any genre of
music. Even Canadian-polka. Besides music, we'll also review your
movie, short film, video game, clothing line, skateboard, marijuana,
little sister, big sister, mom etc. Our address is below. Oh, and if
you send us those tight-ass crappy promos without artwork or jewel
cases, you'll be getting off to a bad start with us. The reason being
is that it makes it harder for us to get any cash for it at the record
store. So if you wanna get on our good side, and better your chances
of a good review, send us the real shit poppa. If we fucked up your
favorite band (or your band) and you'd like to whine about our
reviews, like the masses of other crybabies, or even praise them,
email us at buddyhead@buddyhead.com .
We're looking for some new blood
too, so if you think you've got what it takes to be a part of the
Buddyhead music reviewing team, email that same address with at least
three examples of your previous record reviewing work (or make some
shit up real quick like). And just like always, the reviews below do
not necessarily reflect the opinion of Buddyhead as a whole.
Buddyhead's reviews are written however we want them to cos we make
the rules, and occasionally they are completely biased. But that's why
you read them anyway, so don't be stupid and start crying. Thanks
shhhmanky.
