Sex Offenders – Review April 1, 2000 Nasty, chick-fronted gutter punk filled with violence, booze, drugs, theft, and destruction. While the vocalist Heather ain’t great, she ain’t bad.
Coalesce – Boy Sets Fire – Review April 1, 2000 While Coalesce can make one-dimensional emo hardcore into blistering workouts of noise and texture, Boy Sets Fire can’t even cover material correctly.
Sentenced – Crimson – Review April 1, 2000 Sentenced have found mournful ways to reconstitute sensibly-arranged power chord rock, even if they seem to make the same record over again.
Co-Ed – Pollen – Review April 1, 2000 A great split between two very impressive bands. Co-ed is female-led, melodic rock that will probably win over Discount fans.
The Reverend Horton Heat – Spend a Night in the Box – Interview April 1, 2000 An interview with the good reverend Jim Heath
Chumbawamba – WYSIWYG – Review April 1, 2000 Punk and folk have something in common: The need to reach deep into our e-everything, digitized, glitched-up brains, and reprogram them to think for themselves.
Selfmindead – At The Barricades We Fall – Review April 1, 2000 Learning brutality and catchiness from Entombed, Selfmindead have given the American crazy-core that Coalesce helped invent a much-needed focus.
Sebastian Bach – Bring ‘em Bach Alive – Review April 1, 2000 Six new studio songs and 10 live Skid Row classics recorded in Japan where they still love this kinda rock’n’roll.
Chino – Mala Leche – Review April 1, 2000 Strong, full guitar chords interspersed with acoustic diddlings and providing a solid foundation for impassioned vocals.
