The Flaming Sideburns – Back To The Grave – Review

December 8, 2006

Like The Hellacopter, they dig deep into the vintage soul and r&b styles, so they lose a lot of trendy “garage rock” fans cuz they don’t wear matching suits.

Sweatmaster – Tom Tom Bullet – Review

November 4, 2005

Like the boppier aspect of The White Stripes and the last couple Hives records, so come on in. Big beat fun time hand-clapping from 50 years of rock and roll.

Baby Woodrose – Money For Soul – Review

August 16, 2003

Since Blows Your Mind!, an elusive-but-worth-the-search gem, Baby Woodrose has become a three-person band, signed to Bad Afro, and recorded in a real studio.

The Royal Beat Conspiracy – Dig it! – Review

July 2, 2003

The swivel of beach music, the danceable side of ’60s garage rock as it was writ in Chicano Los Angeles: Soul-inflected, R&B conscious, made for Locomotion.

Sweatmaster – Sharp Cut – Review

June 20, 2003

Sweatmaster rocks hard, filled with soul and swagger, as their single “I Am a Demon and I Love Rock’n’Roll” plainly states.

Pushing Scandinavian Rock to the Man – Vol. III – Review

January 3, 2003

This hip-shakin’ action’d surely appeal to Mod and nü garage fans who wanna dig beyond The White Stripes and The Hives and find some other good “The” bands.

The Maggots – This Condition Is Incurable – Review

June 14, 2002

A trio of Gyropeons punchdrunk on old timey Amerigarage unknowns formin’ foreign syllables and three chords into shakedown cold sweaters.

The Burnouts – Close to Break Evil – Review

March 1, 2002

Snotty outtabreath over-amped punk rock’n’roll pumped out by Danes who probably enjoy gettin’ fuckin’ outtacontrol cuz ya just don’t thinka Denmark that way.

The Flaming Sideburns – Hallelujah Rock ‘n’ Rollah – Review

February 22, 2002

These wacky Finnskis get better and better every time. More soulful, too. They wear their grimy Stones influences on their sleeves and kick out Raw Power jams.

Pushing Scandinavian Rock to the Man! – Vol. 2 – Review

February 22, 2002

There’re some familiar names, most of ’em, tho’, are not too well-known to me. The Scandinavian rock’n’roll invasion continues, but I think it’s a friendly one.
