Servotron – Entertainment Program for Humans (Second Variety) – Review April 1, 1998 Somewhere between the B-52’s and Kraftwerk lurks the retro-electro punk stylings of Servotron.
Screeching Weasel – Major Label Debut – Review March 1, 1998 Right off the bat, Major Label Debut comes out swingin’ fast and furious. I don’t think SW has ever been this venomous and quick-tempoed. That’s saying a lot.
Uranium 9 Volt – Wild Seven – Review March 1, 1998 While Uranium 9 Volt ain’t that bad, I’m really wishing it came on cassette so I could tape over it.
Groovie Ghoulies – Re-Animation Festival – Review December 1, 1997 Keeping the Ramonesian simplicity mixed with Misfitting graveyard kitsch, this is just an amazing sounding record. Simple, sweet, huge, and loud.
The Mr. T Experience – Big Black Bugs Bleed Blue Blood – Review November 1, 1997 How’d you like to get a re-issue of all their non-LP tracks (7″s, comp tracks, outtakes, etc.) from ’89 to ’93?
Auntie Christ – “Bad Trip” – Review October 1, 1997 Our old friend Exene’s back in black (vinyl) and she’s fuggin’ pissed like she hasn’t been since Wild Gift. Good thing.
The Criminals – Never Been Caught – Review July 1, 1997 The tunes, though void of any pleasantry, are jammed full of conviction. The violence is real, tight, and smoking like a gun against a setting sun.
Pinhead Gunpowder – Goodbye Ellston – Review July 1, 1997 Sounds like Green Day (It oughta – it’s Billie Joe’s “other band”). The good stuff. Produced by Kevin Army.
