Band Geek vs. Musical Genius – Review

Band Geek vs. Musical Genius

(Revolution)
by Elissa Dennis

Like most samplers, a few good tunes hidden among the disposable tracks the label is trying to force onto your stereo. This one has dEUS’ “Suds & Soda,” a happy-trippy grunge thing; The Presidents of the United States of America‘s “Dune Buggy,” about a spider on the beach; and Jabbering Trout‘s “Horton Heard Another Who,” (if you like bands that sound like whiny English guys). And if you ever wondered what Pat Benatar and Siouxie Sioux would sound like if they were one person, check out Skirt‘s “Wish.” I’ve already forgotten what the rest of the songs sound like.
