Sofa Glue – You’ve Changed – Review

November 1, 1997

Angry, misunderstood, screaming ’til your throat is raw and brooding in a state of semi-coherent circular mindfuck, Sofa Glue is music to smash mirrors to.

Smoking Popes – Destination Failure – Review

November 1, 1997

A melodic and sweet portrait painted for all the women and the blind suckers who love them with blood from a too-far-gone severed artery.

Smash Mouth – Fush Yu Mang – Review

November 1, 1997

“Walkin’ On The Sun” is such a great tune. When I played Fush Yu Mang, I was surprised to find not one other song even remotely similar in style.

November 1, 1997

An interview with Glenn Tipton

Prunella Scales – Dressing Up the Idiot – Review

November 1, 1997

Full o’ tunes that are both catchy and melodic but thanks to tenacious, aggressive use of the rhythm section, they take on a heavy, slightly unpleasant feel.

Peace, Love & Pitbulls – 3 – Review

The Amazing Royal Crowns – Interview

November 1, 1997

An interview with Jason “King” Kendall, Jack “the Swinger” Hanlon, Johnny “The Colonel” Maguire

Olive – Extra Virgin – Review

November 1, 1997

Too pop to be trip, too R’n’B to be Poe, too slick to be Björk, not massive enough to be an attack. It really doesn’t add up to much. Elevator electro?

Oblivians – …Play Nine Songs With Mr. Quintron – Review

November 1, 1997

The premiere garage rock band in the world has a new record out and that oughta be all the information necessary.
