At times she sounds as angry as Alanis, but most of the time, the impression is she’s singing with a slightly evil grin on her face.

Imagine if Natalie Merchant sounded as furious as Alanis Morisette, joined forces with a full-on rock band with metal roots and started singing in Italian.

A knock-it-about rock record from these boys that catches us croakin’ and crowin’ stadium anthems like skinny days of yore.

Throw this up against Backyard Babies, Hellacopters, Gluecifer, and Turbonegro, and it comes off closer to a spittle-inflected Poison without hooks.

Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company – Live at Winterland ’68 – Review

Glory Daze – Review

December 1, 1997

Glory Daze is supposed to be a smart comedy about being dumb. It was written and directed by the guy who wrote The Jerky Boys.

Sylk 130 – Gettin Into It – Review

June 1, 1997

Written/produced by Britt with soul diva Allison Crockette on vocals. It’s a wonderful track, combining soul, jazz, funk, and hip hop into a timeless hybrid.
