Demolition Doll Rods – T.L.A. – Review

January 1, 2000

Demolition Doll Rods are a drag – literally and figuratively – even with the estimable talents of a tarted-up Dan Krona as a major part of the equation.

Fuck – Conduct – Review

April 1, 1999

The Lynnfield Pioneers – Emerge – Review

April 1, 1998

They infuse the standard flat-footed indie-rock beat with an ineffable sense of motion that rides a pale groove without grafting on an ill-fitting negri ‘tude.

Tobin Sprout – Moonflower Plastic (Welcome to My Wigwam) – Review

This album may finally help Tobin Sprout duck those George Harrison comparisons he’s been tarred with these last few years.
