Three Slices of Summer – Column

September 1, 2000

September 1, 2000

Haven is a kind of return to roots, being harder, more metal, and sounding rather In Flames in the process. And I mean that in a good way.

Dance Hall Crashers – The Live Record – Review

Coleko – Staywell Clinic – Review

September 1, 2000

A noisy, Dischord-style yelling, atonal riffing unit that lacks in production but makes up for it with that gritty DIY feel the “kids” go nuts for.

Super Transatlantic – Shuttlecock – Review

September 1, 2000
