Ten Seconds To Go – And You Thought We Were Dead – Review

September 1, 2006

They’ve opened for a few bands on Drive-Thru, Negative Progression, Lobster, and Hopeless. Heartfelt punkpop, with slight emo pop tendencies.

Stars of Track and Field – Centuries Before Love And War – Review

September 1, 2006

They have a kinda Pink Floyd thing going. Maybe it’s just a lurking darkness beneath the lush pop melody, maybe it’s the guitarist is allowed to speak up.

Squareshooters – I am The Keeper – Review

September 1, 2006

A trio from Minneapolis. There’s something low key, humorous and clever without being loudly funny, and generally something danceable and pleasant here.

Smoking Bird – Naughty Little Girls – Review

September 1, 2006

Sex & swagger, fuckin’ A right! No bio, never heard of ’em, don’t think they’re from the States, but at first pass, I’m ready to grab a bottle and crank it up!

She Killed Poetry – Shut Out The Silence – Review

September 1, 2006

Good name, decent band. Pretty straight-forward Lamb of God death metal, minus the killer guitarwork that makes LoG special. So pretty standard riffy metal.

Shat – Cuntree – Review

September 1, 2006

69 songs about fucking your wife and poop. It’s Buddyhead humor. Each ditty is one joke, and sometimes the 60 second length is 30 seconds too long.

Scarlet Slipping – Fire In The Mist

September 1, 2006

A one-woman show, having done time in Santa Barbara’s Trance to the Sun, this delicate, moody, atmospheric release is a little quiet for my taste.

Rural Electric – The Road To Hell Is Paved – Review

September 1, 2006

I may be high-strung, but I know great mellow indie rock when I hear it, and I’m listening to it now. From Maine, honest and kinda folky to these ears.

Rezurex – Beyond The Grave – Review

September 1, 2006

California horrorbilly, three of four members also in Tiger Army and Nekromantix. Perfect for punk rockers who love old time rock’n’roll with a taste for meth.

Red Cavalier – Built To Last – Review

September 1, 2006

Another solid rock’n’roll find from Loaded Bomb. There’s some nice Bad Afro-style r&b in here, and plenty of Get Hip garage punk.
