Prong – Scorpio Rising – Interview

August 9, 2004

An interview with singer/guitarist Tommy Victor

Dennis Young – Old Dog: New Tricks – Review

August 9, 2004

Take equal measures of Roger Waters, world music, and goofy optimism, and stir. Place in a small, artsy venue and add aging hippie audience.

Creep Division – I Want Out – Split LP – Review

August 9, 2004

Creep Division doles it out hard and heavy. Where they excel is mixing up lethargic, Neolithic metal with double-time hardcore ’82 punk.

Ad Frank – A Lotta Devotion – Review

August 9, 2004

Mix Blondie with John Mayer, hop on a bike and chew some gum. Funky with a heartbroken voice and ’80s hooks: Somewhere between folk, rock, and Talking Heads.

Jesus And The Devil – Destructive Music Resists the Oncoming Light – Review

August 9, 2004

A band working a basically melodic mid-tempo rock that moves outside of rote “we like the Stooges” bar wipe, but doesn’t artificially look to be “different.”

I Want Out – Creep Division – Split LP – Review

August 9, 2004

August 9, 2004

HIM – Razorblade Romance – Review

August 9, 2004

Half the songs are the basic outline for sad rock, but Entwine are far more creative, and Poisonblack nails the 4/4 stripper ass-shake better.

August 3, 2004

The ONE song of the album strives to be ambient, moody, violent, seductive, strange, and unpredictable, but it sounds like a song off the debut stretched out.
