Alabama Thunderpussy – Halfway to Gone – Split – Review

April 1, 2001

The singer sounds like he’d be more at home fronting a hardcore band, but the rest of the band is remarkably well tied into their Southern-fried “thing.”

Imagine Nashville Pussy minus, unfortunately, the hot chicks, but with two great guitarists, a bludgeoning rhythm section, a stupendous singer, and great songs.

Sea of Green – Northern Lights – Review

September 1, 2000

Orange Goblin – The Big Black – Review

June 1, 2000

Stuffed with Sabbathy guitar riffs, hard, physical vocals, and a ball-busting rhythm section that makes the considerable grooves trudge nimbly.
