Add N To (X) – Add Insult to Injury – Review

They’re all wild about old keyboards and electronics, so they put together a band that plays these old, messy electronic sounds in a punk way.

Adam West – The Beatings – With an X: The First Two – Review

June 1, 2001

Adam West goes for a cleaned-out, amped-up riff roar that fueled both the clean-lined arena rockers. Think AC/DC ’78, UFO tunes, and some choice Nazareth.

Darkane – Insanity – Review

June 1, 2001

New vocalist for record two, but same quick-footed Swedish death sound as Darkane drill the listener, propelled by the Calamity Kane drumming of Peter Wildoer.
