Sidecar – All Those Opposed – Review

From the punk hotbed of Columbus, Indiana. They self-produced and self-released four records I’ve never heard and are on a bunch of comps I don’t I have.

Sharks Keep Moving – Review

January 1, 2000

They offer more odd-time signatures and unusual open chords/clean pickings to give listeners an intelligent alternative to the everyday sappy pop song.

Seven Foot Spleen – Enter Therapy – Review

January 1, 2000

Paces sound like a piss-drunk troll stomping about his cave and bashing into stuff, vocals remind me of the grunt you make when squeezing out a dry shit.

Sevendust – Home – Review

January 1, 2000

The great leap forward, slamming with confidence (and hip guest stars) into complicated rhythm riffery that owes to industrial, grunge, and the Korn sound.

Self – Breakfast with Girls – Review

January 1, 2000

Matt Mahaffey has built powerful, sexy pop that digitizes hooks that stop you short and jerk you back at all the right places, pushing hard and driving it in.

Ryker’s – Life’s a Gamble – Review

January 1, 2000

The best NYHC band from the land of chocolate and Oktoberfest. Last time a NYHC band sounded this eager to break your neck was One Voice (Agnostic Front).

Ronnie Spector – She Talks to Rainbows – Review

January 1, 2000

She Talks to Rainbows is only an EP, and leans towards Meatloaf at times, but the raw power of Spector’s voice cuts through any schmaltz.

Riot – Sons of Society – Review

January 1, 2000

Very simple, very cliché, the kinda stuff you grow out of when you get a little better and learn to write better riffs.
