Mensen – Oslo City – Review

October 29, 2003

Mensen have a thing for garage rock, like many of their Norse brethren. This is an energetic blues version with light psychedelic leanings.

The Dragons – Sin Salvation – Review

October 29, 2003

It takes a few rounds to sink in, but once it takes effect, you’re feeling all rambunctious and sleazy enough to risk making the move on your friend’s wife.

Smash Up Derby – Review

October 15, 2003

A great comp for those who wanna learn about this stuff, and it’s got some cool unreleased stuff, all for a list price of two Rolling Rocks.

New Bomb Turks – The Night Before the Day the Earth Stood Still – Review

January 3, 2003

This should’ve followed Scared Straight. The hollowed-out three-chord punkers that dominated the last two albums are replaced by well-crafted rock songs.

The Hellacopters- Cream of the Crap – Review

January 3, 2003

This is sort of a no-brainer, really. Fine as much of the music on this CD is, there should be a sticker saying “For Geeks Only” on the jewel case.

“Demons” – Stockholm Slump – Review

January 3, 2003

They look like greaser rockabilly dudes, write like glam/sleaze boyz, and they fuck shit up like all the Swede rock bands finally gettin’ their due.

The Hellacopters – High Visibility – Interview

June 28, 2002

An interview with frontman Nicke Andersson

The Hives – Barely Legal – Review

June 28, 2002

The Hives got this nasty pickled cod shake appeal so high-octane ya’d swear their pores ooze nitro as they run through the fourteen tracks here.

Puffball – The Super Commando – Review

June 14, 2002

Puffball likes cars and songs about cars and since Gearhead’s a label/mag that’s about car culture and stuff, y’know, gearheads, so they’re a great match.

NRA – New Recovery – Review

February 22, 2002

Most of the songs sound similar, over-amped “traditional” three-chord punk rock, mebbe hopping into the way-too-big boots of Naked Raygun.
