Dynamite Boy – Finder’s Keepers – Review

April 1, 2000

It’s not bad at all; in fact it’s pretty catchy and very nicely sung (as well as produced). It’s just… not ’92 anymore.

Beefcake – Rejected – Review

April 1, 2000

Fans of Guttermouth and The Vandals who’re looking for a younger band to be kind of offensive, fast, snotty and, well, punk, should check out Beefcake.

At The Drive-In – Vaya – Review

January 1, 2000

Picking up where the the heart-wrenching aspects of their last effort left off, Vaya takes the band’s trademark weird vocal lines and amplifies them ten-fold.

Lonely Kings – What If? – Review

January 1, 2000

Heavy without being overwhelming, attentive to atmosphere and breathing room, and with a nice driving beat. Then, Oops!, the rest of the song comes in. Bland.

Serial Killer Comp. – Review

September 1, 1999

With a sexy cover and a collection of 28 punkpop/powerpop/balls-out rock’n’roll faves and newbies totaling over 70 minutes – How can you resist?

Bickley – Kiss the Bunny – Review

April 1, 1999

Thank the god of chaos for super-destructo bands like The Vindictives, Dayglo Abortions, Lummox, and newcomers like Migraines and Bickley.

Gob – How Far Shallow Takes You – Review

April 1, 1999

Gob are fast, Canadian melodic punk with heavier-sounding guitars than your average teddy and lyric sheets are provided for those into that sorta thing.

At The Drive-In – In/Casino/Out – Review

January 1, 1999

At The Drive-In combines the anger of post-hardcore, the melodies of emo, and the chord structures of Sonic Youth to produce a truly unique sound.

30 Foot Fall – Divided We Stand – Review

November 1, 1998

A re-release of 30footFALL’s first full-length. Their second (I think) release, Acme-143, also on Fearless, is much more polished, tightened, and versatile.

Bickley – Pogo Au Go-Go – Review

November 1, 1998

Bickley is a manic, group-shouting, junk rock band ranting about TV, teen porn stars, beer, peeing, and butt-sniffin’ clowns.
