Monty’s Fan Club – Review

March 15, 2004

The guitars punch like a Leatherman, and the thematic horns are pure Quinn-Martin production. The lyrics are devoid of humor, save one Brady Bunch reference that slips through.

20 Miles – Life Doesn’t Rhyme – Review

March 15, 2004

Half-assed blues from one-third of JSBX. Judah Bauer plays the kind of music that makes you think, “Hey, that Jon Spencer is a pretty good guitarist, isn’t he?”

Machinery Hall – The Separation of Music and State – Review

March 15, 2004

Imagine Blue Öyster Cult meet The Moody Blues, soulfully singing “I don’t talk to no one but myself” and occasionally slowing it down with a folksy ballad. I don’t have hard proof, but I smell a Renaissance Faire somewhere in here.

The Failure – …of reason – Review

March 15, 2004

Nice radio-ready rock band that puts together chirpy/pushy tunes with real-sounding instruments and a heartfelt (read: ’70s-speak for “emo”) singer.

The Desert Fathers – The Spirituality – Review

March 15, 2004

The Desert Fathers offer up a mixture of metallic distortion, electronic beats, and amorphous samples that is all then piled onto a rock and roll foundation with vocals that remind me of Built to Spill.

Joint Custody – Anthropic – Review

March 15, 2004

With something of The Cardigans’ coming-of-age melancholy and vulnerably out-of-tune harmonies, it’s obvious why Joint Custody was a staple on the college festival circuit.

Jim’s Big Ego – They’re Everywhere – Review

March 15, 2004

Those who know what “They Might Be” means will be very interested in this. Songs about mix tapes, a math prof rock star, and schizophrenics appear with singable pop harmonies galore.

Exhorder – Slaughter in the Vatican/The Law – Review

March 15, 2004

Formed in the mid-to-late ’80s, Exhorder are credited with starting the “Southern trendkill” style of thash-hardcore-sludge insanity eventually carried on by the likes of Crowbar, Eyehategod, Soilent Green, Down, and – of course – Pantera.

Elvis Costello And The Attractions – Trust – Review

March 15, 2004

The historical importance placed upon Elvis Costello and The Attractions’ first three/four albums have shouldered out the band’s later-but-worthy albums.

The Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs – Maximum Overdrive – Review

March 15, 2004

The real reason to get this reissued classic is the buncha speedy rockers that woulda put’m on bills with DMZ, Smack, The Fluid, The Lazy Cowgirls, Electric Frankenstein, or The Hives.
