Fishsticks – Disko – Review

April 1, 2000

Thirty-plus songs pounded out in fifteen minutes kick the shit outta Anal Cunt’s silliness, but fall short of the mindless brilliance of early Gang Green.

Perry Ferrell – Rev – Review

April 1, 2000

I hate this guy. I hate him even more since I received this “career retrospective” thing, oddly enough billed as a Perry Farrell “solo record.”

Men of Porn – Review

April 1, 2000

Something’s gotta be said for a record that kicks off with a ditty entitled “Comin’ Home (Smoking Pot On a Sunday Afternoon While UFO’s Drone Overhead).”

Man Scouts of America – Crash Course – Review

April 1, 2000

Man Scouts sound like Van Halen’s first coupla records, only louder and without all them cheezy solos, or Rick Derringer behind the boards.

Loose Lips – Talkin’ Trash – Review

April 1, 2000

I guess the stealing from the source-recordings and bein’ ugly lends authenticity, tho’ authenticity’s a loada shit, ‘specially when the Stones are invoked.

The Frantic Flattops – Rock-n-Roll Murder – Review

January 1, 2000

The Frantic Flattops occasionally venture into swing territory, they even cross into non-Dixieland jazz, and punk isn’t outta their repertoire either.

City Rockers – A Tribute to the Clash – Review

January 1, 2000

Most of the bands can’t think of anything interesting to do with their song, so they read it as the clumsy punk or hardcore they normally do.

The Go – Watcha Doin’ – Review

January 1, 2000

The motions the Go goes thru are pretty good ones: Semi-psychedelic, sometimes noisy guitars, fuzz, tambouriny percussion, echoy vocals, decent songs…

Tricky Woo – Sometimes I Cry – Review

January 1, 2000

Pealing screams, extendo wah wah run-thrus, drum breakdowns, shameless forays into psychedelia, “Alllllrightssss!” like Jon Spencer, and nonsensical lyrics.

The Zeros – Right Now! – Review

January 1, 2000

The Zeros were mere high school kids when they crashed the early Hollywood underground scene, playing alongside bands like the Germs, X, the Dils, and Weirdos.
