Frodus – And We Washed Our Weapons in the Sea – Review

June 2, 2001

They pushed hardcore’s envelope much like Refused, taking DC-core into electronic territories and blending it with subtle melodies.

Frenzal Rhomb – Shut Your Mouth – Review

June 2, 2001

Frenzal Rhomb is what I consider Juvenile Punk music, not quite coming-of-age, but played with a goofy sincerity.

Frank Black & The Catholics – Dog in the Sand – Review

June 2, 2001

Recorded live onto two-track, Dog in the Sand is Frank Black (and his backing band, The Catholics) on his continuing quest for the American soul.

The Lonelies – Part Nine – The Conclusion – Fiction

June 1, 2001

After morning check-in, he called Jesse’s parents on the pay phone in the community room. The Trilofon was helping, making him feel more grounded, more real.

Aviso’Hara – Made From Scratch – Review

June 1, 2001

Samhain – Box Set – Review

June 1, 2001

The music alone makes this big sucka worth it though, a bunch of rare albums presented in quite good remaster quality. And the man’s voice… Geez, it rules.

Annihilator – Carnival Diablos – Review

June 1, 2001

Guitar tones, riffs, well-assembled songs – that’s why we keep coming back to Annihilator year after year.

Ani DiFranco – Revelling/Reckoning – Review

June 1, 2001

This isn’t the kind of collection that will make your brain bulge at every chord change. It has its dirges, digressions and self-indulgent moments and minutes.

All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors – Straight Blue Line – Review

June 1, 2001

Unlike shoegazer bands that use walls of distortion to enunciate visceral dreaminess, this band’s bopping beats and quiet arpeggios evoke the same experience.

Align- Some Breaking News – Review

June 1, 2001

Align’s got the most happening sound, propelling the usual drill hammer beats with some nice melodies a la Far.
