This is John G bringing you a Friday reviews update. Within a span of eight days, I will have seen Cro-Mags, Leftover Crack, Napalm Death, Iron Reagan, Voivod, HeWhoCannotBeNamed, and Screaming Females. The Bay Area gets my vote for best live music spot in the world. Where do you think has the best live music scene?

Today's reviews are:

• Mike Watt - Hyphenated-man
• Street Sweeper Social Club - The Ghetto Blaster EP
• Culture Abuse - Spray Paint The Dog
• Stick to Your Guns - Disobedient
