April 1, 2001

Samiam has written an album of tunes most radio scrubs wish they had the brains to write, and most indie bands wish they had the melodic bones to understand.

Might As Well… Can’t Dance – Review

January 1, 2000

Doesn’t matter if you’ve never heard of the original artists or you want great renditions of old faves, Punk Rock Jukebox Volume II is worth every sing-along.

Short Music for Short People – Review

September 1, 1999

101 bands each contributing a 30 second song. This is a who’s who of punk, from all over the world, spanning decades of punk in its many forms.

November 1, 1994

Samiam is a classic live band, not as rough around the edges as most Cali punk, but fast and energetic. Recordings just don’t do the genre justice.
