Snitches Get Stitches – I Liked You Better When You Were A Corpse – Review

February 23, 2005

Like many great bands, they’re post this, and post that, chaotic and messy and indescribable. Keyboards and clanking noise and catchiness. Real alternative.

Lost Sounds – Rat’s Brains and Microchips – Review

August 16, 2003

Garagest crank/psych roots jerked up through the eye-rolling wise-ass “you promised the end of the world, but we’re still here” ’80s.

The Gloryholes – Knock You Up – Review

January 10, 2003

The album’s got a real wild, live feel. Tim Kerr produced it, and he likes everybody to get riled up in the studio. Shouting and whooping from all directions.

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.

Lost Sounds – Black Wave – Review

June 14, 2002

Synth-rock without some big freakin’ pretension of art. Kinda like, I dunno, Servatron, like mebbe if Devo had been as cool as everyone assumes them to be.

The Pinkos – Review

February 22, 2002

Vanessa, the guitarist, is also in Bell. The drummer, Steve, was in The Gits. There’s no one else in the band, they both sing and they’ve sorta got an X vibe.

Dead Moon – Trash and Burn – Review

February 22, 2002

Dead Moon is legendary. Dead Moon’s the fuckin’ shit, okay? Dead Moon will play for hours, or mebbe it just seems that way, not like in a bad way, either.

The Catheters – Review

April 1, 2000

With maybe the exception of The Murder City Devils, Zeke, The Gimmicks, or RC5, these young ‘uns are the best band goin’ in Seattle these days.

Sicko – Chef Boy R U Dumb – Review

February 1, 1996

Infectious, bubblegum, “pep-rally” punk with goofy lyrics that should prompt many giggles. A cross between Green Day and the 1910 Fruitgum Company.
