Sham 69 – Kings and Queens – Review

June 1, 1997

The songs collected on this disc, recorded between 1976 and 1978, hold up today. Actually, better than most first- and second-generation U.K. punk.

Pollen – Peach Tree – Review

June 1, 1997

Pollen: Band good, production crisp, loud (see Allroy’s Revenge +), love hate pop songs. I need a drink, you have one too, it’s on me.

Pennywise – Full Circle – Review

June 1, 1997

Full Circle is like smearing your favorite ice cream over your face again. Nothing wrong with it at all. Any day.

No Empathy – Ben Weasel Don’t Like It – Review

June 1, 1997

The title song, previously only available on a 7″, is not quite up to “Liza and Louise” or “Stupid Over You” standards, but it’s pretty damn close.

New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble – Low Blow – Review

June 1, 1997

Here we have a truly impressive group of musicians. These guys have current and former members of the Toasters, the Scofflaws, and the Skatalites.

Less Than Jake – Losing Streak – Review

June 1, 1997

The punk side is reminiscent of Snuff. The ska side is not so easily pinned down. I’m not a fan of distorted guitar in ska, but this band may turn me around.

Knuckleheads – Ain’t That American – Review

June 1, 1997

Mixing ska-flavoring with a harder/faster punk style, the Knuckleheads are both loud and melodic.

Isaac Green and the Skalars – Skoolin’ with the Skalars – Review

June 1, 1997

There’re sweet, melodic ska tunes, like the band’s cover of Coxsone Dodd’s “I Love You,” but then there’re also punchy, hectic numbers like “Phat Steaks.”

Big Lick – Review

June 1, 1997

Self-described as “a funked up, ska-core, with a twist of Jazz band,” Big Lick has been playing all around Boston for the past three years.

Big D & The Kids Table – Review

June 1, 1997

They put third wave on the map with their mix of ska, punk, hip hop, and funk. Lots of energy, excitement and enthusiasm, they put their all into every show.
