2K – Fuck The Millennium – Review

September 1, 1998

Formerly the KLF, this duo yet again mines the same ultra-boring house beats, using the same samples, the same rhythms, the same everything.

Sarre-Chasm – A Different Kind of Art Rock – Column

September 1, 1998

“It was a desperate stubborn refusal of the world, a total rejection. We had been promised the end of the world as children, and we weren’t getting it.”

The Countdowns – Right On Sound – Review

September 1, 1998

Part primal rockabilly straight outta the Charlie Feathers songbook, chuggy ZZ Top, hard luck country bass’n’drums, AC/DC with soul, and Link Wray tribute.

The Cnts – A Secret History of The Cnts – Review

Rude International – #1 – Review

September 1, 1998

Premiere issue of Mighty Mighty Bosstones’ Tim Burton’s Rude International, a 68-page, full glossy quarterly devoted to ska, Oi!, reggae, and skapunk.

The B-Movie Rats – Killer Woman – Review

September 1, 1998

Lotsa punk, plentya Crypt-style rock’n’roll energy and practically no originality. Still, the ride’s fun and relatively short.

Road Story – Review

September 1, 1998

The tension between Leroy’s heart-on-his-sleeve demeanor, and the will-he-or-won’t-he-survive-it drama, make Road Story a sort of postmodernistic Easy Rider.
