Take Action – Review

September 1, 1999

Joining Hopeless’ stable of punk bands are a few emo-esque bands and some guest punk bands. While I support the idea, this is not an award-winning comp.

Francesca Chiara – Il parco dei sogni – Review

September 1, 1999

At times she sounds as angry as Alanis, but most of the time, the impression is she’s singing with a slightly evil grin on her face.

June of 44 – Anahata – Review

September 1, 1999

June of 44’s ability to mutate from record to record never ceases to amaze me; this is definitely their boldest venture to date.

Surf Monsters – Review

September 1, 1999

Some might say the wave has already crashed, but it’s an enjoyable listen/history lesson (Del-Fi always providing great liner notes), so this is your pipeline.

Lagwagon – Let’s Talk About Feelings – Interview

September 1, 1999

An interview with vocalist Joey Cape and bassist Jesse Buglione

Joshua – A Whole New Theory – Review

September 1, 1999

Gone are the spine-rousing vocals, heavy energy, and unique melodies. A headless, unmotivated empty shell that walks in-place while the fragile songs carry on.

Short Music for Short People – Review

September 1, 1999

101 bands each contributing a 30 second song. This is a who’s who of punk, from all over the world, spanning decades of punk in its many forms.

Joseph Arthur – Vacancy – Review

September 1, 1999

There is a soothing, dreamlike quality to his sweet harmonicas and gentle melodies that make lines like “love turned evil” nostalgically poignant.

Serial Killer Comp. – Review

September 1, 1999

With a sexy cover and a collection of 28 punkpop/powerpop/balls-out rock’n’roll faves and newbies totaling over 70 minutes – How can you resist?

Jon Cougar Concentration Camp – Hot Shit – Review

September 1, 1999

Perhaps one of the most loved new punk bands in a world filled with reasonably decent punk bands, Jon Cougar Concentration Camp never fail to entertain.
