Turkish Delight – Howcha Magowcha – Review

September 1, 1998

The predominantly instrumental “Gull Bite,” a song perfect for the scene in which Indiana Jones is drugged by wicked villains with a pick-pocketing monkey.

Trip Daddys – To Hell and Back in a Cadillac – Review

September 1, 1998

The “Ted Nugent of Rockabilly” and “Death Rockabilly”? Hpwzabout “The Only Band Who’s Ever Played Eddie Cochran’s Songs Worse Than Sid Vicious”?

Little Plastic Castle dips deep inside the bell-shaped goldfish bowl, sailing powdery-voiced tumults through introspection and over rivers of guitar-speak.

Ancients Rebirth – Damnated Hell’s Arrival – Review

September 1, 1998
