Frigg A-Go-Go – “SantaClaus Go Straight to the Ghetto” – Review

September 1, 2000

Sorta feel cheated here as the Friggers only bothered to put one song on this friggin’ 7″, a holiday song, no less.

Frigg A-Go-Go – The Winning Score – Review

September 1, 2000

The incomparable Mr. Tim Kerr (o’ the Lord High Fixers) produced these bratty-soundin’ Louisiana R&B punkers. Right there, ya gotta know it’s gonna be good.

Hookers II – Black Visions of Crimson Wisdom – Review

April 1, 2000

Despite “Putting the evil back in the Devil!” and cool song titles (“Ball Crusher Love Machine”), this album lacks that one song that you remember.

Backyard Babies – Total 13 – Interview

April 1, 2000

An interview with Dregen

Throttlefinger – Review

April 1, 2000

Tough guy Nine Pound Hammer redux, y’know, drunken swagger cockpunkrock with spaghetti western soundbites to punctuate Throttlefinger’s self-image as outlaws.

The Retardos – Review

April 1, 2000

Their shit don’t lack for in-yo-face intensity, tho’ they do lack the ability to write a coupla numbers that don’t sound exactly like the six they just played.

The Marinets – Love! Hate! – Review

April 1, 2000

’60s UK pop is a handy reference point, even when the Martinets are not self-consciously aping The Yardbirds or nudging the Troggs perhaps via the Milkshakes.

Syrup – Solid Gold Asstro Soul – Review

April 1, 2000

Southern four-piece focusing on funky rawk kinda like an updated Black Oak Arkansas. Not heavy, but rock’n’roll groovy. Gets better each time I hear it.

Nine Pound Hammer – Live at the Vera – Review

September 1, 1999

An hour plus worth of post-humously recorded reasons why I never really paid much attention to these country hucksters weaned on Grand Funk and AC/DC.

The Fumes – Pure Bad Luck – Review

September 1, 1999

Short’n’sweet and then move on 1-2-3-4 to the next one in a buzzsaw guitar blur runnin’ thru the veins of Zeke/Electric Frankenstein/Migraines etc etc.
