The Glands – Review

March 8, 2002

Pavement’s vocal delivery, Big Star’s alt-country spices, and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ “down home country cookin'” vibe.

TheStart – Shakedown! – Review

March 8, 2002

There’s a British thing here, kinda like Siouxsie, The Cure, and The Police. But there’s also something sunny California in the vocals. More dippy than dreary.

Nickelback – Silver Side Up – Review

March 8, 2002

These guys, Days of the New, Lifehouse and all them, ya gotta appreciate what they’re good at, but let ’em know there’s still a lot of room for gettin’ better.

Wolfie – Tall Dark Hill – Review

March 8, 2002

Combining the chiming pop of Sloan, warm fuzzy guitars, and a Midwestern-college-rock air of sophistication, Wolfie rock out boy/girl garage-power-pop songs.

Crashpalace – Review

March 8, 2002

Filter/God Lives Underwater in the production, something fuzzy and vaguely futuristic, and that may be what saves CrashPalace.

Tomahawk – Review

March 8, 2002

A beautifully-sculpted hard rock record rooted in the expansive non-arena ’70s/early-’80s rock, encompassing hard “new wave” era gunch.
