Built For Speed – A Motörhead Tribute – Review

June 1, 1999

Victory gets a thumbs up for getting diverse with the talent, cuz it’d be just too easy to find a buncha bands to go alongside Electric Frankenstein and Zeke.

The Weaklings – Four More Reasons to Love… – Review

June 1, 1999

This stuff is no-frills, low tech and high energy, played by sons of Iggy who grew up thinkin’ Raw Power would sound better if it was played really fast.

The Ubangis – “Lovesick” – Review

June 1, 1999

Sounds like it was recorded by an irate next-door neighbor as evidence for proposed legal action against our heroes.

The Subsonics – “Frankenstein” / “Mary Ann” – Review

June 1, 1999

It’s the Cramps’ “I Was A Teenage Werewolf” grappling at least thematically with the New York Dolls in the big scream drive-in theatre of Roky Erickson’s mind.

The Street Walkin’ Cheetahs Meet Cherrie Currie – “Cherry Bomb” – Review

June 1, 1999

This un’s got Cherrie Currie who actually sang the song with the Runaways. Fans of The Street Walkin’ Cheetahs’ll get some kinda kick, sure.

The Sons of Hercules – “Surfin’ In the Bars” – Review

June 1, 1999

Here’s two decently executed examples of moronic post-adolescent angst of the rock’n’roll era. Nothin’ really spectacular, but it’s a good time.

The Slobs – Another Piece of Junk – Review

June 1, 1999

A band that lives up to its name with the least amount of uh… “production values” this side of the Germs to boot!

The Screws – Review

June 1, 1999

Hell, ya may even be able to call it a “supergroup”: Mick Collins, Terri Wahl (Red Aunts), Dan Brown (Royal Trux), Jeff Evans (’68 Comeback)…

The RockATeens – Golden Time – Review

June 1, 1999

Cabbagetown, GA heirs to Fiddlin’ John Carson, these Rock*A*Teens produce high-falutin’ lowbrow faux hillbilly for folks too smart to take that shit straight.

The Proletariat – Voodoo Economics and Other American Tragedies – Review

June 1, 1999

These ranters got tagged with the “hardcore” label cuz of the company they kept, but The Proletariat had more in common with early Fall and pre-sellout Wire.
