The Cripples – Dirty Head – Review

January 3, 2003

Now this is a nice take on “garage rock.” No guitars, two synth guys with a great bash-away drum and bass team down in the engine room.

Spiritu – Review

January 3, 2003

It ain’t about snappy tunes, the sound is a huge part, and producer Jack Endino is so locked onto what organic rock barf is, it sounds effortlessly upchucked.

Spickle – The Right to Remain Silent – Review

January 3, 2003

Fuck yeah, “our” kinda carryin’ on. Anyone who has a taste for dynamic mixed metal/rock juggling can feed at this trough.

Sixty Watt Shaman – Reason to Live – Review

January 3, 2003

Kick your ass, rock your house, groove-bangin’ metal on the stonerrock side of the divide. Scott Reeder’s knob-twisting is great.

Rotten Apples – Real-Tuff (Durable Plastic) – Review

January 3, 2003

Strong vocals, full-bodied tunes constructed of hard pop rock, a bit of Ramones drilling, a handful of the first couple Joan Jett and the Blackhearts LPs.

The Flaming Sideburns – Save Rock ‘n’ Roll – Interview

January 3, 2003

An Interview with vocalist Eduardo Martinez

Pale Divine – Thunder Perfect Mind – Review

November 15, 2002

This is a classic doom record that’s stacks up as a “sounds” version of one of those guitar hero things Shrapnel puts out.

Raw Trax 02 – 100 Proof Ass-Kicking Rock and Roll – Review

November 11, 2002

You wanna hear guitars tweaked the way that made stripper’s boyfriends snort speed and fight in ’79? Here ya go. Nashville Pooosay wishes…..

Emissions From the Monolith – at Nyabinghi – Review

November 8, 2002

A three-day event of heavy groovin’ bands. “Stoner Rock” being a heavy liquid amalgam of Sabbath, Soundgarden, Skynyrd, Sleep, Scientists, and ’72 (the year).

Badsville – Review

November 8, 2002

The interviews and behind the (non)scene stuff is a good look at what it actually is. The pacing is good and the interviews are telling and straight up.
