Hollow – Modern Cathedral – Review

November 1, 1998

Hollow rule, playing a sort of middle metal that combines groovebang stuff like Accept, Priest, and ’80s Sabbath with elevated prog touches.

The Morning Shakes – Switchblades and Sideburns – Review

November 1, 1998

Great stuff if yer into raw, sloppy badass’n’fun rock’n’reel. If yer not, well, there’s plentya shitty records out there. Take yer pick.

Hi Fi and the Roadburners – Flat Iron Years 86-89 – Review

November 1, 1998

The snappy-dressed schmaltz is fine, but these guys can whale away, get yer toes-tapping, yer palm slappin’ yer thigh, and yer butt wigglin’.

The Martinis – Review

November 1, 1998

With all of the post-Pixies depression, it should be comforting to know that there is still a decent related project, and it doesn’t involve Frank or Kim.

The Makers – Psychopathia Sexualis – Review

November 1, 1998

Since these fancy boys collect hype the way my cat collects ear mites, I’ve always regarded The Makers with a certain wariness. In this case, the record rocks.

Godzilla – Review

November 1, 1998

Honestly, it is Jean Reno and Hank Azaria who save almost any scene they’re in, especially working off each other.

The Humpers – Euphoria, Confusion, Anger and Remorse – Review

November 1, 1998

The Humpers’ve made more than a few records by now, all unapologetic examples of verse/chorus/verse dronin’ Johnny Thunders cum everyman riff punk.

The Hookers – Satan’s Highway – Review

November 1, 1998

Black metal subject matter runnin’ smack into no-time-for-a-breath turbopunk.

NoMeansNo – Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie – Review

November 1, 1998

Medium to up-tempo songs, the slowest “The World Wasn’t Built In A Day” doesn’t have the same gloom-and-doom as “Real Love,” “Wrong,” or “My Politics.”

The Hollowbodies – Viva La Dregs – Review

November 1, 1998

Phillip Roebuck’s vocals are generally clear and tuneful, often hinting at The Jayhawks with middle-American motifs such as racetracks and trailer parks.
