Steel Miners – “Let’s Roll” / “What Can You Do” – Review

October 1, 1997

As uppity and snotty as the great garage gobs of daze gone bye, the Steel Miners knock through a pair of monoxide-damaged rockers.

Soda Pop Fuck You – Review

October 1, 1997

Baddass female-fronted ska-punk that makes Dance Hall Crashers and No Doubt sound like pussy pop.

Stavesacre – Absolutes – Review

October 1, 1997

This sophomore effort is creative, powerful, and a perfect match to Saloman’s distinctive voice, which soars, yet has enough power to shout out above the din.

Snot – Get Some – Review

October 1, 1997

Snot rockets out of Santa Barbara and kicks out the jams in the tradition of such nouveau metal acts as Rage Against the Machine and Korn.

Sloburn – Amusing the Amazing – Review

October 1, 1997

Vocalist John Garcia (ex-Kyuss) leads his team of soulful adventurers thru the murk of post-Sabbath searching for truth, enlightenment, and the ultimate riff.

Size 14 – Review

October 1, 1997

Size 14 offers up some rockin’ guitar heavy goofy pop – reminiscent of Weezer or even Devo, while still touching upon some harder-edged influences.

Sinister – Bastard Saints – Review

October 1, 1997

Cro-magnon death metal barbarianism has been Sinister’s specialty ever since their debut.

Sicko – “Three Tea” – Review

October 1, 1997

A world-view of picnics, petulance, and talking dogs with a slightly tougher sound, the way a six-year-old would imagine pop-punk to sound.

Sham 69 – The A Files – Review

October 1, 1997

The A Files is Sham 69 like Sham always was: three chord punk (and a little reggae) and the dumbest lyrics this side of Jon Spencer

Satisfact – Review

October 1, 1997

Their self-titled sophomore effort integrates their influences into a far more individualistic robo-goulash than their debut.
