Whenever a trend is hot, one can count on certain things: major labels will try to cash in and milk the trend for all it is worth, and a glut of sound-alike bands will jump on the bandwagon. In the late '90s and early 2000s, the emo/punk-pop trend was hot, and plenty of generic clone bands were getting signed left and right. Fenix TX, however, was ...
Solution to Benefit Heal the Bay is a double-disc compilation ranging from latter-day punk and third-wave ska to hip-hop, electronica, and club music, all in the service of the Heal the Bay Foundation, an environmental organization dedicated to cleaning up coastal waters. Fifteen of the 27 tracks are previously unreleased, including material from ...
Fenix TX was one of droves of circa-2000 major label bands that took their cues from punk, both of the hardcore and poppy variety, of the 1970s and 1980s. They're not the worst of the lot, but neither do they stand out from the crowd, which is quite a problem considering how much many members of this particular crowd resemble each other. There are ...
There are plenty of various-artist compilations targeted at the skateboard/extreme-sports crowd (or, at least, marketing departments' ideas of that demographic); most of them feature some combination of alternative metal, latter-day punk-pop, and third-wave ska, sometimes with a little hardcore hip-hop thrown in. Like its contemporaries, Gravity ...
Fenix TX broke up in 2002, so the 2005 live album Purple Reign in Blood serves as a reunion, too. All the original members are here, and they blast through career highlights like "Phoebe Cates," "All My Fault," and "Threesome." The quartet fills out the set with most of 2001's Lechuza, a few more tracks from the band's 1999 debut, and covers of ...

1999 and 2000 found MTV branching out into film-making, and not surprisingly, its films were very youth-oriented. One of those made-for-MTV movies was Jailbait!, a dark comedy starring Kevin Mundy as an 18-year-old high school senior who faces statutory rape charges after having consensual sex with an underage sophomore (played by Alycia Purrot). ...
Are many typical NASCAR fans also fans of in-yer-face metal/hard rock/punk rock crossover? That seems to be the assumption behind this compilation of driving songs, most though not all in the blustery macho vein. That's a suitable soundtrack, perhaps, for images of cars whooshing over the road in undue haste, though it doesn't make for the ...
You'll Never Eat Fast Food Again is a cheaply priced sampler of artists on the Drive Thru label, which is primarily oriented towards punk-pop and third wave ska. There aren't really any big names present (as of its 1999 release date), but there are plentiful helpings of basic, tuneful punk, danceable ska, zany humor, and snotty attitude. Some of ...
