Exxxile on Main St. – Review

June 1, 2000

The label’s a lucky 13 years old, so why the hell not issue a comp to mark the occasion? Highlights outnumber the lows.

Robert Belfour – What’s Wrong with You – Review

June 1, 2000

Fat Possum release this comparatively restrained set o’ songs by one Robert Belfour. He’s a guitar player, to be sure, but a madman, I think not.

Uz Jsme Doma – Ears – Review

June 1, 2000

I may’ve seen these Zappa/Residents meets Voodoo Glow Skulls freaks a few years back (I can’t think of there bein’ another Czech prog-ska band in existence).

Urban Dance Squad – Artantica – Review

June 1, 2000

They beat Rage Against The Machine to the rock’n’hip hop punch and were more funky. “Deeper Shade of Soul” was the genre’s finest, except for Paul’s Boutique.

Rick Blaze and The Ballbusters – Manhattan Babylon – Review

June 1, 2000

Rick and his band do a pretty good job of achieving a Heartbreakers-like serious rock’n’roll aesthetic, power chordage by the numbers (listen to LAMF sometime).

T-Model Ford – She Ain’t None of Your’n – Review

June 1, 2000

T-Model Ford, perhaps the hardest-workin’ septuagenarian in show biz, has released his third record in as many years.

The Wipers – The Power in One – Review

June 1, 2000

Greg Sage has led The Wipers since he started the band in Portland, OR over 20 years ago. Now he’s in Phoenix and doin’ everything (but drumming) by himself.

The Real Kids – Down to You – Review

June 1, 2000

Judging from this four-song EP, The Real Kids haven’t lost much steam, or grown up much. Convincingly chuckin’ out hook-heavy anthems to Teenage Lust.

Los Infernos – Rock and Roll Nightmare – Review

June 1, 2000

Rock And Roll Nightmare is pretty much straight up punk rock’n’roll, they just knock ’em back balls out crazy-man style, ‘kay?

Lee Rocker – Live – Review

June 1, 2000

Tho’ there’s exceptions, I’ve never fuckin’ liked modern rockabilly, I just don’t give a shit. It’s boring.
