Electric Frankenstein – The Time is Now! – Review

June 1, 2001

If you aren’t cognizant of the growly/musclely buzzbombs these guys have been heavin’ since the mid-’90s, here’s the opportunity to blow this week’s beer money.

Electric Frankenstein – Sick Songs – Review

June 1, 2001

Three reissues and a new one from these prolific punkrock to rockpunk rabble-rousers.

Electric Frankenstein – Conquers the World – Review

June 1, 2001

Really, these guys do what they do – jump in anywhere. Even the covers, and they do at least one per, are put through the mill and Frankensteized.

Punkass Generosity – Review

April 1, 2000

A 46-track, double disc of punk of which all proceeds go to various charities worldwide, all for a measly $7.

Radiobaghdad – 665 Neighbor of the Beast – Review

April 1, 1999

Lester Norris has a Dead Boysish ferocious, shards-of-glass-garglin’ vocal presence, and the songs are stripped-down, gut-level punk the way it oughtta be.

Migraines – Juvenilia – Review

January 1, 1999

Migraines are best noted for being one of the few bands almost no one’s ever heard of, but everyone will confuse with Vindictive and/or Sloppy Seconds.

Kid With Man Head – Flapjack Hairpiece – Review

March 1, 1998

It’s got all the right “yeah, yeah”s, “woo, woo”s, and looping rounds of the chorus. At times, they swerve from SoCal rawk to sound kinda, um, Jersey rock.

Adhesive – Sideburner – Review

March 1, 1998

Swedish speed punk tripping over itself with singable melodies, harmonies, and thundering drums. Adhesive is thoughtful, genuine, and hard-working.

Funbox – 523 – Review

November 1, 1997

A guitar band: the hyperactive squawking chord changes backed up by the equally proficient percussion are the stars of 523. The vocals are rather monotonous.

Steadfast – Sixteen Reasons Why – Review

September 1, 1997

Four fresh-faced punks from CT with 16-song release with a lot of good stuff on it. The punkpop lessons of the Epitaph/Fat roster, filtered through Beach Boys.
