Two Dollar Guitar – Let Me Bring You Down – Review

June 1, 1997

Foljahn’s songs are alive with fear and worry, the sounds of somebody who feels old beyond his years and fears death.

Todos tus Muertos – Dale Aborigan – Review

June 1, 1997

Tripface – Some Part Sorrow – Review

June 1, 1997

The Strike – A Conscience Left To Struggle With Pockets Full of Rust – Review

June 1, 1997

Join me brothers, leave behind the Jerry Rice Breathe Rite Nasal Strip of stinky poop rock and let’s take that fuckin’ hill!
