Infidel – I, Oathbreaker – Review

November 1, 2009

Safely straddling the line between super stoner-heavy and FM rock radio. They sound best when Dennis Kostopoulos’ guitars roar with Sabbath-like fury.

Sebastian Bach – Angel Down – Review

April 1, 2008

Looks good, digi, cool cover, even cooler title. Stupid though, complaining that a record is too high fidelity and the drummer is the best you’ve ever heard.

The 69 Eyes – Angels – Review

September 28, 2007

Whilst fellow Scandalnavians Turbonegro send up the ’70s glam of Alice Cooper, The 69 Eyes examine the evolution of glam to Gothic from ’60s to the ’90s.

Versus – Two Cents Plus Tax – Review

November 1, 1998

Includes several original concoctions, including “Jack and Jill,” which sounds like a lounge act performing to the accompaniment of an unbalanced dishwasher.

The Seymores – Treat Her Like a Showcat – Review

September 1, 1998

With the lolling-tongue vocals of TMBG and some of the lyrical silliness of Violent Femmes, The Seymores drop neatly into the category of laughworthy pop.

Misfits – Static Age – Review

October 1, 1997

This never-before-released 17-song debut from ’78 has the original (Raw and gorgeously under-produced) mixes of classic cuts like “She” and “Spinal Remains.”

MTV’s AMP – Review

July 1, 1997

AMP is MTV’s electronica showcase, the place to get up on a future that, for some, has been going on for over a decade. If you’re buying only one, this is it.

Violent World – A Tribute To the Misfits – Review

April 1, 1997

The most annoying aspect are the covers which are done in styles which are irrelevant to the subject matter, such as emo and “sensitive guy” pop punk.

Eerie Von – Mike Morance – Uneasy Listening – Review

September 1, 1996

A funhouse-gone-bad, B-movie horror soundtrack. I’m trying to figure out whether they’re serious or not.

Don Fleming – Because Tomorrow Never Comes – Review

April 1, 1996

Don Fleming takes ideas from other people, without giving them credit, and doesn’t pull it off nearly as well.
