February 16, 2005

The Thingz – Review

February 14, 2005

This scratches the itch for garage rock with brilliantly retarded lyrics. Only people who like silliness and a damn good time are going to let The Thingz loose.

The Kickz – Activate Me – Review

February 14, 2005

The Thingz, are not angry or malevolent in any way. They are, in fact, hyperactive kids who can’t keep themselves from twitching and squirming.

Stiv Bators – Disconnected – Review

February 14, 2005

Reissue of Stiv Bators’ debut solo album from 1980. Disconnected is a power-pop album. That may seem strange if you only know Dead Boys’ Young Loud and Snotty.

The Ends – Sorry, XOXOXO – Review

February 14, 2005

An Austin supergroup. When you’ve got a unique sound like The Ends, it’s going to be an acquired taste, but it makes you a milestone band for comparison.
