The Spitfires – Three – Review

November 8, 2002

Less garagey than The Hives, less Detroit than Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs, and more big beat rock and roll than Tight Bro’s From Way Back When.

The Means – Vil/Viol – Review

November 8, 2002

Hissing, barking, drilling and sputtering cantankerousness splattershot through a hard-nose garage template that doesn’t ignore the past 20 years like many do.

Hermano – Only A Suggestion – Review

November 8, 2002

Another entry in the John Garcia subgenre, Hermano will come as no surprise to those who’ve heard Garcia’s other post-Kyuss projects, Slo Burn and Unida.

Orquesta Del Desierto – Review

October 4, 2002

Featuring members of Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, Goatsnake, and Fatso Jetson, this thing is full of acoustic guitars, horn sections, and mellowness.

Speedealer – Second Sight – Review

October 4, 2002

A reasonable sonic facsimile of Kill ‘Em All. The tempos are fast but not blinding, and everything has the sandpaper-dry ca-chunk ca-chunk rhythm guitar sound.

Skin Yard – Start at the Top – Review

October 4, 2002

A tangent to the grunge big bang. They didn’t have that one big tune to get’m over. The guitar player was Jack Endino, just about the house producer at Sub Pop.
