Roadsaw – Nationwide – Review

June 1, 1999

They’re loud, they keep it simple, they’re tuned low and mean, they stomp all over the stage (usually drunk, as is the audience), they have a sense of humor.

Road Rage – Nothin’ to Declare – Review

June 1, 1999

Drinking, fighting, fucking – fast-paced British punk with a snarl like a snowplow and strong guitar and bass roarings.

Regia – The Art of Navigation – Review

June 1, 1999

Nice little ditty from former Remy Zero member Louis Schefano that showcases much more than his drumming skills.

Ray Gillen – 5th Anniversary Memorial Tribute – Review

June 1, 1999

Just four tracks pumped up to a fake 12, rife with alternate versions, mixes, an instrumental, and an inane snippet of skidderish Gillen chatter.

Rainer Maria – Look Now Look Again – Review

June 1, 1999

Rainer Maria brings its broken-hearted poetry to the rest of the world with both earnestness and optimism.

Quintron – These Hands of Mine – Review

June 1, 1999

Quintron’s patented, sleazy mash of lo-fi gospel, sample-heavy noise, and homemade drum machine unhip hop has amassed him a cult following.

Queen Bee – “Fine” / “Smitten” – Review

June 1, 1999

Lotsa ponderous bass bashing/kit slamming punch over which Karen Neal warbles all over the place like a honey bee on solvents.

Puya – Fundamental – Review

June 1, 1999

Switching effortlessly from Limp Bizkit to Mambo Kings, Fundamental is a hybrid that sometimes takes many forms in a single song.

Pulley – Review

June 1, 1999

Pulley have incorporated a few chugging riffs, a little ska shuffle, and nice, clean guitars, all showing maturing tendencies on this record.

Yellow Machine Gun – Spot Remover – Review

June 1, 1999

Part hardcore part metal, Yellow Machinegun may look like Shonen Knife, but they sound like metalcore.
