Metroschifter – Encapsulated – Review

September 1, 2000

The band continue their tradition of groundbreaking ideas, this time having other bands learn, arrange, play, and record brand new Metroschifter songs.

Madball – Hold it Down – Review

September 1, 2000

The album I thought they’d never make: Not self-righteous, not self-glorifying, not watered-down, but the successor to Agnostic Front’s classic One Voice.

September 1, 2000

These guys owe much of their sonic palette and most of their procedural structure to the gods of desert thunder, Kyuss.

Lolita Storm – G-F-S-U – Review

September 1, 2000

Leatherface – Horsebox – Review

September 1, 2000

Horsebox will probably be remembered as the band’s most mature and seasoned output. It has taken over Mush in the cockles of my heart. Quite an achievement.

September 1, 2000

Kitty in the Tree – Hello Kitty – Review

September 1, 2000

Part BritPop, part space rock, NYC’s Kitty in the Tree purrs their way into your heart with wildly-infectious sugar pop melodies.

Welcome To The Girls Room – Review

September 1, 2000

Welcome to the Girls Room is filled with self-reliant, sometimes bottom-of-your-shoe feminist stuff with strong folk melodies and rock beats.

King Diamond – House of God – Review

September 1, 2000

No real surprises here. If yer into King’s kooky/campy freakshow of falsetto, here’s almost an hour’s worth of riffs and screeching to add to yer collection.
