Level-headed New York bruisers Sick Of It All have returned with their fifth full-length, Call to Arms, and the beating has never felt better.

Swingin’ Utters – The Sounds Wrong EP – Review

April 1, 1999

Originally released on IFA in 1995. Where Streets… was their ball of fury, these songs were some of their more soulful tunes, like their other early EPs.

The Ataris – Look Forward to Failure – Review

With a six-song, 15-minute EP, The Ataris strut their stuff for Fat with the magical lighting of production whizzes Bill and Stephen of The Blasting Room.

Takes the best aspects of all their material, mixes it together and adds a musical scope that goes well beyond the trendy nods to ska or Irish folk music.

Screeching Weasel – Television City Dream – Review

January 1, 1999

Kinda like herpes, they’re really tough to get rid of. SW’ve broken up more times than Elizabeth Taylor, but they haven’t gotten fat (tho now they’re on Fat).

November 1, 1998

A 30-minute marvel of punkpop with trombones, keyboards, and just enough hardcore punk ranting to remind you that Snuff rocks from beginning to end.

Wizo – Kraut & Ruben – Review

November 1, 1998

An eight-song EP taking 24 minutes to run its course, opens with “Anneliese Schmidt,” and while I have no clue what they’re singing, I like singing along.

Consumed – Breakfast at Pappa’s – Review

November 1, 1998

Fat signed these guys before they even had a single out. Nottinghamshire, England’s Consumed’s debut.
