Rufio – MCMLXXXV (1985) – Review

October 22, 2003

They don’t bring anything new to the genre that they’re so clearly trying to fit into, and they don’t even excel at doing basic poppy-punk, which isn’t hard.

Rooney – Review

October 22, 2003

While the rest of the record shows the band members’ youth and blind worship of Weezer b-sides, “Blueside” is a classic-in-the-making.

Quick Fix – The Push – Review

October 22, 2003

Blending Britpop (Supergrass) and good ol’ American pounding rock (early Smashing Pumpkins) with richly-textured “space rock” in a way that doesn’t suck.

Sabers – Specter – Review

October 22, 2003

THIS is textured groove vs. “ambient” rock stuff. Like some early 20th century Swedish classical or the titles on the ECM jazz/classical/improv/space label.

Evergrey – Recreation Day – Review

October 22, 2003

Englund routinely comes up with melodies that either tug at the heartstrings with thespian melodrama or cast a doom pall over music you thought you had pinned.
