Return of the Read Menace – Review

September 1, 1999

Honest Don’s teams up with AK Press for this 25-track, 75 minute CD of punk, rock (emo, indie, and singer/songwriter), and good, free-thinking sentiments.

Diesel Boy – Sofa King Cool – Review

September 1, 1999

The liner notes say this was recorded in SF during the rainy month of Februrary ’99, so that might be an explanation for why this is such an uninspired record.

Limp – Guitarded – Review

June 1, 1999

Ex-member of Screw 32, songs you can sing along with by the end, and while I remember nothing when the CD’s over, I’m tempted to replay its 30 minutes again.

Teen Idols – Pucker Up! – Review

June 1, 1999

Teen Idols layer male/female harmonies in a way that’s unlike the glut of “whoa-whoa” punkpop. Evidently, it’s the Nashville bluegrass/rockabilly influence.

Diesel Boy – Venus Envy – Review

April 1, 1998

These goofy, self-effacing melodic punks tip the hat to fellow Fat-sounding punk bands as well as ’80s sit-calms, Faster Pussycat, and Taco Bell.
