Sarre-Chasm – A Letter to my Local Radio Programmer – Column

October 1, 1997

Tell me, Mr. Rock Authority, does Live Really Rock? Filter? Does anyone on the fucking planet “Unplugged” Really Rock?

Twenty Miles – Twenty Miles & R.L. Boyce, Othar Turner, Fife and Drum Spam – Review

September 1, 1997

You probably know Judah Bauer from his time spent in Jon Spencer’s shadow. He steps out a bit here on this effort with his brother, Donovan.

Three Years Down – Kill the Cool – Review

September 1, 1997

This ain’t gonna challenge anyone’s expectations about the future of music, but Three Years Down plays good, tight punk rock and that should be enough.

Big Fat Love – Hell House – Review

September 1, 1997

Caveat emptor for Beasties fans, the show here belongs to Berry, Bosco and Hubel and the songs are pretty hardcore hard-luck, white trash psychobilly pieces.

Glitterbox – Tied and Tangled – Review

September 1, 1997

Personally, I wish the songs were shorter. That way, the forty-plus minutes of my life I wasted listening to this disc would be only twenty or thirty minutes.

Sarre-Chasm – Night Of The Living Old People – Column

September 1, 1997

I recently saw Saccharine Trust. It didn’t matter that Brewer’s gut is as prominent as the madness in his eyes or that Baiza is shrinking, they sounded great.

The VSS – Nervous Circuits – Review

July 1, 1997

These blurry noise-meisters mouth some not too earth-shattering indie rock influences (Drive Like Jehu, Steel Pole Bathtub) and throw in a coupla curve balls.

Spider Babies – Adventures in Sex and Violence – Review

July 1, 1997

Spider Babies do this garage punk thing. They’ve got sorta Crampsy subject matter, and occasionally a Mummiesque go-for-broke moment will crop up.

Peter and the Test Tube Babies – Test Tube Trash – Review

July 1, 1997

English versions of good ole boys they are, four yobs you can sit back and have a few with as they thrash out unmistakably British proto-Oi.

Sarre-Chasm – Waiting for the Bubble to Burst – Column

July 1, 1997

Indie labels used to vary in size, scope, and distribution, but they did lots of the dirty work required to keep rock’n’roll alive until the majors stepped in.
