Grass Is Always Greener (On the Other Side) – Review

April 20, 2007

Get Hip Records take bands with the ’60s punk/garage/folk-rock/psychedelic thing in various states of “authenticity” and put out their goddamn records.

The Last Vegas – Seal The Deal – Review

January 1, 2006

Part ’70s hard rock with wet production and layered choruses and stoner riffery, part punkified glam with way more wild-eyed bottle throwing than I remember.

The Last Vegas – Lick ’em and Leave ’em – Review

December 6, 2004

Eleven tracks of patented Get Hip swagger-rock, big rock recorded on a little budget, just like New York Dolls and all the bands who’ve come in their wake.

The Paybacks – Knock Loud – Review

November 22, 2002

They may not be much to look at, but these Detroit bad boys gots the rock’n’roll grit and pedigree (The Henchmen, Rocket 455, Ten High).

Silver Tongued Devil – Red-Eyed and Tongue-Tied – Review

February 22, 2002

Pretty okay stuff in that Motörhead to Zeke to Nashville Pussy stripbar strip-mined vein. Supersonic whoop-ass is what these guys are all about.

Rocket 455 – Go to Hell – Review

February 22, 2002

Altho’ ex-Gorie and future Demolition Doll Rod Dan Kroha was a foundin’ member, as a band they turned their noses up at anything retro.

Irving Klaws – Pajama Party – Review

February 22, 2002

The Klaws aren’t borin’ and rockabilly bands usually don’t write songs about panty sniffin’ and surf bands don’t really write songs with lyrics. Dig my six!

Turbonegro – Darkness Forever! – Review

February 22, 2002

There’s a tongue’n’cheek quality goin’ on here, ‘specially when they do stuff like “Back to Dungaree High” and “Don’t Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker.”

Gore Gore Girls – Strange Girls – Review

February 22, 2002

Gore Gore Girls even sound more teasey than pissed, which is a welcome thing since most all female bands that rock only wanna sound angry.

The Neatbeats – Mercurial – Review

February 22, 2002

Japan’s Neatbeats make it their lives’ work to duplicate early ’60s teenybeat pop stuff like The Beatles and everyone else honed their chops on.
