Welt – Brand New Dream – Review

February 22, 2002

Doctor Dream died after releasing “Better Days” and “Kicked in the Teeth Again,” and it knocked the stuffing outta Welt, They regrouped for Brand New Dream.

Leatherface – The Last – Review

June 3, 2001

Leatherface’s most daring record (also their shortest, and their last before breaking up for six years) gets a deserved rebirth, and I’ve got it on repeat.

Leatherface – Horsebox – Review

September 1, 2000

Horsebox will probably be remembered as the band’s most mature and seasoned output. It has taken over Mush in the cockles of my heart. Quite an achievement.

Pinhead Circus – Everything Else is a Gone Conclusion – Review

September 1, 1999

A fave Colorado punk band (and there’s a surprising number of good bands from the state that gave us Coors and Mork & Mindy, in case you haven’t noticed).

Pezz – Warmth and Sincerity – Review

September 1, 1999

Warmth saturates this Albini-produced record. Pezz have a consistency that makes the whole album worth spinning.

Leatherface – Cherry Knowle – Review

September 1, 1999

Frankie’s nicotine-soaked vocals speak volumes of melancholy and youthfulness at the same time. Punk rock doesn’t get much more moving than this.

Leatherface – Hot Water Music – Review

September 1, 1999

Six hoarse-throated, emotionally-charged punk anthems, keeping with the ol’ Leatherface tradition by pumping as much soul as speed into the songs.

Jon Cougar Concentration Camp – Hot Shit – Review

September 1, 1999

Perhaps one of the most loved new punk bands in a world filled with reasonably decent punk bands, Jon Cougar Concentration Camp never fail to entertain.

Of Things to Come – Review

September 1, 1999

A 14-song, 33 minute soundtrack to a snowboarding video and, for a change, not a bunch of songs you wonder how the hell anyone could ever snowboard to.

Hot Water Music – Leatherface – Review

September 1, 1999

The re-grouped Brits, led by Frankie Stubbs, kicks off with six hoarse-throated, emotionally-charged punk anthems, pumping as much soul as speed into the songs.
