Punk/Power Pop Review

The Sweethearts – L.U.V – Review

April 12, 2004

Teenie boppers looking for the next No Doubt need look no further. Super cutesy vocals over moderately aggressive guitars that stay crunchy in milk.

The Crumbs – Last Exit – Review

April 12, 2004

The energetic ’60s freakouts are inspired by The Fugs and Them. It may take a few listens to learn this is more than decent party music.

Fat Ass – We Have Come for your Mothers – Review

April 12, 2004

Madcap – Under Suspicion – Review

March 29, 2004

Madcap rocks out on their third album with punk, reggae, rock, and ’80s dance inflections. “Keep Dancin” made me sit up and give this band a serious listen. Then I got up and danced. That’s how catchy the songs are.

Smogtown – All Wiped Out – Review

March 22, 2004

Rocket From The Tombs – Rocket Redux – Review

March 22, 2004
