Tedio Boys – Outer Space Shit – Review

March 1, 1998

They can run off surf, sci-fi b-movie soundtracks, Desperate Rock’n’Roll, tex mex, etc, but their songs sound like a buncha covers.

They realized they had been ostentatiously ubiquitous so they rendered each other an odd shade of curious orange and called it a day.

Snuka – Snuka Bloody Snuka – Review

March 1, 1998

Chloe Sweeney stomps and slithers all over the songs like bitch-in-a-bad-mood, spitting venom on everything and everything she comes into contact with.
