Bottom – Feels so Good When You’re Gone – Review

February 22, 2002

Listen to the slow, quiet palm-muted whispering intro of “Got Meth?” knowing full well the gut-wrenching howl is going to kick in… wait for it… woooooowwww!

The Mystick Krewe of Clearlight – Acid King – Split – Review

June 4, 2001

For this split EP, the band is joined on vocals by stoner legend Wino (St. Vitus, Obsessed, Spirit Caravan). Sounds like a match made in heaven, and it is.

Melvins – Electroretard – Review

June 3, 2001

An odds’n’sodser from the oddest of noiseniks, Electroretard is a 42-minute sliderule rock ride through noise, covers, and remakes of old classicks.

Acid King – The Mystick Krewe of Clearlight – Split – Review

June 1, 2001

Plenty of bands play this heavily at tempos this slow, but very few make it breathe like Acid King. The grooves are simple and fluid with plenty of space.

The Cutthroats 9 – Review

April 1, 2001

No catchy tunes here, but the songs are constructed to afford the rather massive guitar riffs maximum physical impact. This rocks, it slams, it bludgeons.

Goatsnake – Flower of Disease – Review

April 1, 2001

Though this falls into the “doom” sub-genre with a bunch of bands I don’t like, it stands above all of those bands because it avoids the pitfalls.

Che – Sounds of Liberation – Review

April 1, 2001

Reminds me of Queens of the Stone Age, specifically the part that says, “Hey, we really like Can.” Lots of simple, hypnotic grooves repeated over and over.

Hammerlock – Anthem for Outlaws – Review

September 1, 2000

Punk, blues, slide, barrelhouse cowpunk, nods to Foghat, Raging Slab, Agony Column, Four Horsemen, basically Nashville Pussy cow-prodded.

Euroboys – Long Day’s Flight Till Tomorrow – Review

September 1, 2000

Who woulda thunk that the axe-grinder from Turbonegro and the drummer from Gluecifer would concoct a maryjane-hazed soft-core porno soundtrack?

Euroboys – 1999 Man – Review

September 1, 2000

Who woulda thunk that the axe-grinder from Turbonegro and the drummer from Gluecifer would concoct a maryjane-hazed soft-core porno soundtrack?
