Everready – Festavus for the Restavus – Review April 1, 1999 Favorite moments include the Hüsker Dü cover, “Diane,” and the rockin’ duet with Co-ed’s Kathy Cagigas – sweet and powerful without being sappy.
Deicide – When Satan Lives – Review April 1, 1999 17-songs, 56+ minutes of pure adrenaline. Captured live at Chicago’s House of Blues, Deicide unleashes flawless perfection, number after number.
Epoch of Unlight – What Will Be Has Been – Review April 1, 1999 Rum-flushed progressive black metal but with a hint of train-wrecked Witchery and The Haunted. Yeah, baby!
Dead Lazlo’s Place – Lonely Street – Review April 1, 1999 Lonely Street’s songs open with some of the most generic chord structures in punk/rock, yet a few bars in, you’ve forgotten your initial groan.
English Dogs – All The World’s A Rage – Review April 1, 1999 English Dogs record real good now, and musically, blur it up closer to technically adept hardcore. More punk than anything American, new or old.
Deadbolt – Zulu Death Mask – Review April 1, 1999 Humorous surf rock at its funniest. Now all they need is to land an appearance in the Back To the Beach/Tales from the Crypt crossover movie.
Das Klown – Antidote – Review April 1, 1999 With a distinctly vintage sound (i.e. shitty), Antidote is bare-bones, bare-knuckle punk late ’80s-style with very few concessions.
