Jon Sarre – Page 40 – Lollipop Magazine

Andre Williams – Silky – Review

November 1, 1998

Williams, despite the ace backing, doesn’t require help. He’s a sick’n’twisted desperate rock’n’roll machine, out mackin’ smooth talkin’ rappers half his age.

Pussy Galore – Live: In The Red – Review

September 1, 1998

Pussy Galore was the starting point for Royal Trux and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and a major inspiration for Chrome Cranks, Cheater Slicks and Lollipop.

La Secta – Memories, Part 1 – Review

September 1, 1998

A Spanish garage band circa the late ’80s/early ’90s with a sound influenced by Spacemen 3-but-with-more-Det.-influences, psych-rock, or maybe like Mudhoney.

Gaunt – Bricks and Blackouts – Review

September 1, 1998

Gaunt is catchy like that, sorta Screeching Weasel catchy. Jerry Wick is a master at grafting a melodic punk rock riff on to an instantly singalongable lyric.

Zen Guerrilla – Positronic Raygun – Review

September 1, 1998

This mutation of Isaac Hayes, Chuck Berry, Howlin’ Wolf, Chambers Brothers, and the Cramps is something no self-respectin’ rock’n’roll fan should be without.

Zeke – Kicked in the Teeth – Review

September 1, 1998

Zeke concern themselves with motorcycles and fuckin’, but singer Blind Marky Felchtone’s lyric poetry is often obscured by his tendency to sing really fast.

Trip Daddys – To Hell and Back in a Cadillac – Review

September 1, 1998

The “Ted Nugent of Rockabilly” and “Death Rockabilly”? Hpwzabout “The Only Band Who’s Ever Played Eddie Cochran’s Songs Worse Than Sid Vicious”?

Sarre-Chasm – A Different Kind of Art Rock – Column

September 1, 1998

“It was a desperate stubborn refusal of the world, a total rejection. We had been promised the end of the world as children, and we weren’t getting it.”

The Countdowns – Right On Sound – Review

September 1, 1998

Part primal rockabilly straight outta the Charlie Feathers songbook, chuggy ZZ Top, hard luck country bass’n’drums, AC/DC with soul, and Link Wray tribute.

The Cnts – A Secret History of The Cnts – Review

September 1, 1998

A 21-track retrospective culled from the band’s five LPs. These guys did an Anglophile punk take on ’60s garage-rock with a pissed-off working class mindset.
