Dwarves – …are Young and Good Looking – Review

September 1, 1997

Dwarves may have matured in terms of production and musicianship, but spiritually, they’re true to their roots. There isn’t a throwaway track on this record.

Steadfast – Sixteen Reasons Why – Review

September 1, 1997

Four fresh-faced punks from CT with 16-song release with a lot of good stuff on it. The punkpop lessons of the Epitaph/Fat roster, filtered through Beach Boys.

Skavoovie and the Epitones – Ripe – Review

September 1, 1997

Their second album, Ripe, is packed with Skavoovie’s swinging, raucously melodic brand of ska, but with an element their debut, Fat Footin’, lacked – maturity.

Dead Boys – Younger, Louder & Snottier – Review

September 1, 1997

A standard-setting self-destructive punk album, bringing out the raw, throat-shredding vocals of Stiv Bator and the fuck-overdubs guitarwork and skin-bashing.

Millencolin – For Monkeys – Review

September 1, 1997

I’d’ve liked to’ve heard a bit o’ the tight-as-a-monkey’s-fist piccolo snare (á la The Specials) in “Monkey Boogie,” but it’s still a butt-wagging ska ditty.

Blue Meanies – Full Throttle – Review

September 1, 1997

The Blue Meanies fuse punk, ska, jazz dementia, experimental… Aw, fuck it. When I listen to these guys I feel like a little kid at the carnival.

88 Fingers Louie – 88 Fingers Up Your Ass – Review

September 1, 1997

What a great album title! This is an album to get, even if you’re not a collector of anything and everything melodic hardcore punks 88 Fingers Louie released.

50 Bucks – Gone – Review

September 1, 1997

The 25 songs on $50’s debut are beautiful one-idea songs, like early Sebadoh. Simple melodies swell in and around simple rhythms.

The Perpetrators – Porno Rock – Review

July 1, 1997

The Party Rock album ya ain’t gonna get through a TV commercial, nor in fine stores anywhere. Ya gotta get this straight from the source, Rimshot Records.

The Criminals – Never Been Caught – Review

July 1, 1997

The tunes, though void of any pleasantry, are jammed full of conviction. The violence is real, tight, and smoking like a gun against a setting sun.
