Les Hell on Heels – Review

April 18, 2005

Take mid-quick tempoed garage rocker as a template, and get a two-guitar four-piece to sneer their way through slangy all-gal snot bombs.

Hognose – Longhandle – Review

April 11, 2005

Thunder grooves, suckerpunch riffage, rolling drawl growls, warm-toned metal bait’n’switch with nods to ZZ Top, Thin Lizzy, Rose Tattoo, and Nazareth.

Fu Manchu – Start the Machine – Review

April 11, 2005

Big-ass guitars, meaty classic rocker riffs, punk attitude, and all that’s cool in rock and roll: Aliens, girls, vans, cars, monsters, skating, cars, aliens…

Greenhaven – Review

February 7, 2005

An Interview with vocalist/guitarist Matt Conner

Hyatari – The Light Carriers – Review

December 29, 2004

A droning techtonic soul heave like amplified blood: The rushing whooosh! backed by the steady “ka-thumpa” of your heart worked into distinct songs.

Greatdayforup – Godlovesasinner – Review

December 29, 2004

A five-piece with a true singer/front guy, bass, tubs, and twin axemen. Punk theory and attack, rock dynamism, focus, and attention to craft.

Black Nasa – Deuce – Review

December 29, 2004

Resumes include Godspeed, Atomic Bitchwax, Scene Killer, Gallery of Mites… Y’know, ’70s rocker stuff, proto metal, grunge, and greasy Southern ID’d stuff.
