The Strays – Le Futur Noir – Review

March 16, 2007

Straight-served, some Clash worship and touselled hair, but also a crappy b&w booklet. From Greece, Britain, and Orange County, and you can hear the geography.

RTX – Western Xterminator – Review

March 16, 2007

Jennifer Herrema was in Royal Trux with then-husband Neil Hagerty. Their drug abuse was legendary, but the tunes were good. This is so bad, it’s embarrassing.

Rotor – 2 – Review

March 16, 2007

Cosmic exploration juxtaposed by fuzzy riffery, cerebral vs he-man thud, dig? Jazzy prog wank and repetitive, slow builds, and you’ve got a bit to smoke up to.

Wolf – The Black Flame – Review

March 12, 2007

I have a soft-spot for some of this. Not an ironic, winking love, I mean I like and respect it, goofy or not. But Wolf is more Hammerfall than Sonata Arctica.

Bloc Party – A Weekend in the City – Review

March 12, 2007

More mainstream than my usual tastes, and not as jaw-dropping as Idlewild, and too hip and trendy for me, so the mainstream can keep them. Second full-length, produced by Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol).

Sasquatch – II – Review

March 12, 2007

Kind of a no-brainer. Kick-ass, tuneful and soulful rock by shaggy guys who can solo and swagger, and the singer can belt it out. Shared stages with Fireball Ministry, Nebula, Unida, and surely every hard rock and stoner rock band in the country.
