Mellowdrone – A Demonstration of Intellectual Property – Review

August 27, 2003

An impressive debut from an ex-Bostonian who turned makeshift gear into a white-washed, electricity-filled sonic palette.

40 Grit – Nothing To Remember – Review

August 27, 2003

Imagine the bump’n’grind of nü metal groove with the rich, powerful, manly belt-it-out of ROCK. Yeah, thundering music, but with melodies you can sing along to.

God Dethroned – Into The Lungs of Hell – Review

August 27, 2003

Death metal with only scant leanings toward thrash and death-with-melody, Into the Lungs of Hell won’t change the mid-tier status of this long-suffering band.

Garrison – The Model – Review

August 27, 2003

It’s taken Garrison three full-lengths worth of struggle to finally sharpen their machete pop on an EP. The band’s most cohesive songwriting to date.

Decoded Feedback – Shockwave – Review

August 27, 2003

Imagine standard Decoded Feedback sound with a tint of Dirk Ivens (Dive/Sonar) vocals, a shot of Suicide Commando bass lines, and lots of sampled guitar licks.

William Hut – Road Star Doolittle – Review

August 27, 2003

If Poor Rich Ones are the smokey chimney on top of the ice-surrounded log cabin, then Road Star Doolittle – Hut’s solo debut – is the hermit inside.

The Delgados – Hate – Interview

August 27, 2003

An interview with Alun Woodward and Emma Pollock

Mad Caddies – Just One More – Review

August 27, 2003

While some like their music straight-up, Mad Caddies have snuck behind the bar and mixed all sort of odd concoctions from the dusty bottles.

Thistle – Tired Anchor – Review

August 16, 2003

Thistle ride the melodic “swish” of ringing cymbals and fuzzy guitars, not so much overpowering you but slowly ebbing away at the senses with patience.

The Special Goodness – Land Air Sea – Review

August 16, 2003

The notes say “Pat” was a founding member of Weezer. They also say “Atom” was in Rocket From The Crypt for ten years. This is their record.
