Bad Religion – The New America – Review

June 1, 2000

Bad Religion is having a tough time proving to the millennial generation that they’re still relevant.

Dwarves – Come Clean – Review

April 1, 2000

Although there are still fine moments to be had, this sounds like a neutered version of the band I used to love. Or so I thought.

Satanic Surfers – Going Nowhere Fast – Review

April 1, 2000

They’re angrier, less poppy, and sound like a lot of the mid-’90s Fat catalog of rampaging, start/stop, technically-impressive punk with a lot of heart.

Zeke – Dirty Sanchez – Review

April 1, 2000

Zeke’s headkickin’ yer brains into the loose gravel. Zeke’s not lookin’ back. Zeke’s got a date with Götterdämmerung. No fucking around here.

Bombshell Rocks – Street Art Gallery – Review

January 1, 2000

These Swedes rock hard, with a gruff-voiced singer and songwriting ability that makes you wanna joyously slam into yer buds, roughhouse a little, and celebrate.

Agnostic Front – Riot Riot Upstart – Review

January 1, 2000

Agnostic Front have a damn fine album here that takes ’80s hardcore and updates it with ’90s issues.

59 Times the Pain – End of the Millennium – Review

January 1, 2000

Hardcore guitar sound, youth crew vocals, rebellious lyrics… but laced with an early-punk/Oi/ Ramones feel.

Pennywise – Straight Ahead – Review

September 1, 1999

Since Pennywise take as kindly to progression as they do to corporate America, you can bet your bottom dollar they’ll be sounding this way for a long while.

Punk-o-Rama 4 – Review

September 1, 1999

Tom Waits – Mule Variations – Review

September 1, 1999

A tent under which we can all get together. The rare artist who can be popular, yet not pander, be critically praised, yet comprehensible to the average jerk.
