Sparechange – Fifty-Thousand Moments – Review

February 22, 2002

From more of an indie rock/power pop background than a punk background, this five-song EP packs the punch of the first time you heard the Goo Goo Dolls.

Snuff – Blue Gravy: Phase 9 – Review

February 22, 2002

Snuff’s got the earnest-man-crying-lead-tears kind of singing, backed by the occasional Hammond organ and trumpet. It’s touching but rowdy.

The East Bay Chasers – Review

February 22, 2002

East Bay Chasers are thin-sounding, standard-fare club punk. Not hard’n’gruff enough to be street punk, not sappy’n’melodic enough to be punkpop.

Deviates – Time is the Distance – Review

February 22, 2002

Deviates’ Epitaph debut (after one on Theologian) is tuneful, well-produced, and has all the whoa-whoas you could ask for.

Cocknoose – White Trash Messiahs – Review

February 22, 2002

A fist in yer face and ten new tracks to bitchslap punkpoppers to. Tuneful yet gruff, mid-tempo to occasionally fast-paced, without resorting to metal.

Smogtown – Domesticviolenceland – Review

February 22, 2002

UK-influenced punk via Orange County so ya know they soaked up their share of early Cali-core along the way.

Sixer – Saving Grace – Review

February 22, 2002

More sore throat street punk ‘cept with a better sense of melody than most’n’a heartfelt debt to older, less fashionable “reactionary” rock’n’roll.

Tiger Army – II: Power of Moonlite – Review

February 15, 2002

Glenn Danzig could croon with balls; Tiger Army, well, they can simply croon… Lyrics tend towards the Gothic and pretentious.

The Royal Fingers – Wild Eleki Deluxe – Review

February 15, 2002

Do they surf in Japan? The Ventures hit the country about a decade and a half after the U.S. Pacific Command and the kids dug ’em lots more, surfers or not.

Dead Kennedys – Plastic Surgery Disaster – In God We Trust, Inc. – Review

February 15, 2002

While now folks have the formula and can mass produce it, back then, it was oddball, irritating, and jarring off-the-wall unrock like nothing anyone had heard.
