The Wake-Ups – Wanna Meet…? – Review

November 19, 2003

Polished Aussie American style guitar rock – in this genre, these guys are doing everything right.

The Telegenic – Review

November 19, 2003

Bar-band pop-rock with an anthemic streak that wants to cross the pop horse-sense of “Jessie’s Girl” with the grandiosity of Bruce Springsteen.

The Primetime Heroes – Review

November 19, 2003

Young and fast, Kansas boys The Primetime Heroes wear their worship of Goldfinger, New Found Glory, Green Day, and Less Than Jake on their sleeves.

Ultralash – Review

November 19, 2003

Bare bones personal, basic and raw, this sound comes from the inside: The insides of neuroses, the insides of instruments, the insides of heads.

Tzefa – Feed Me – Review

November 19, 2003

A four-song EP from this novel New York metal band. Melodic metal with violin and male/female singers has been done before, but it perks the ears every time.

Slick Fifty Seven – The Ghost of Bonnie Parker – Review

November 19, 2003

Slick Fifty Seven aren’t hicks, they aren’t hipsters, they’re bona fide country punks, like Supersuckers and their peers.

Trigger – Distort and Explode – Review

November 19, 2003

Punk rock’n’roll like Gaza Strippers, Supersuckers, and New Bomb Turks. From Gothenburg, Sweden, with some nice vintage harmonica and organ sounds.

Björk – Gling-Gló – Review

November 19, 2003

Before Debut, Björk recorded Gling-Gló, a collection of Icelandic jazz and folk songs that went platinum in her native country.

Barbara Ann – Ode to My Freaks – Review

November 19, 2003

Barbara Ann is a scrumptious model. She’s also a pretty bad-ass punk guitarist with a sexy babydoll voice. And quite a scream. She also writes some good songs.

Anthemic Pop Wonder – Rapid Pop Thrills – Review

November 19, 2003

Enthusiastic, near-giddy at times, the often-wavering vocals simply ooze sincerity. Anthemic Pop Wonder are garagey in the non-fuzzed, pure pop sense.
