Spiders & Snakes – London Daze – Review

September 1, 2000

The fifth release by Spiders & Snakes, formed by Lizzie Grey, a former member of London (with Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx and Mott the Hoople’s Nigel Benjamin).

Sixer – “Truth Hurts” – Review

September 1, 2000

“Whoh heyyyy!” Sounds like Rancid who sound like Stiff Little Fingers. Yeah, it’s catchy. You might like it. Depends what yer usedta.

Frigg A-Go-Go – “SantaClaus Go Straight to the Ghetto” – Review

September 1, 2000

Sorta feel cheated here as the Friggers only bothered to put one song on this friggin’ 7″, a holiday song, no less.

Society’s Finest – The Journey – So Far – Review

September 1, 2000

Throw Botch, Slayer chord progressions, and any one of Hydrahead’s bands into a blender, and you have Society’s Finest.

Slick Shoes – Wake Up Screaming – Review

September 1, 2000

Not as fast as before (less of the stuttering NOFX riffs), and while I guess they’re branching out a bit, it doesn’t really grab me the way previous songs have.

Slick Shoes – Cooter – Split – Review

September 1, 2000

Manic God-punk with Ryan Greene-sounding production, but here they slow down a touch (still fast tho’) and the fourth track is an impromptu fuck-around.

New Wave Hookers – “Not Even A Virgin” – Review

September 1, 2000

My friend Brian Zipper ran this combo into the ground with revolvin’ door lead guitarists and singers before wisely callin’ it quits recently.

Skid Row – 40 Seasons: The Best Of – Review

September 1, 2000

A best-of record compiling the hits from the first two records with remix/demo/live versions from Subhuman Race, and a couple unreleased tracks.

Bob City – Review

September 1, 2000

Imagine Nashville Pussy minus, unfortunately, the hot chicks, but with two great guitarists, a bludgeoning rhythm section, a stupendous singer, and great songs.

Sit N’ Spin – Enjoy the Ride – Review

September 1, 2000

All-girl garage rock. Pretty straight-forward and simple, without all sorts of gimmicks and over-production.
