The Foxations – Review

June 1, 1999

The singer sounds like Kathleen Hanna on helium, so much, in fact, that I thought that maybe I had the record on the wrong speed.

Nashville Pussy – “Kicked in the Teeth” – Review

June 1, 1999

The band everyone loves and fears forces yer bridgework down yer throat with a sweaty lovenote passed in class from Angus Young and Co.

The La Donnas – Rock You All Night Long – Review

January 1, 1999

This Denver-based crew walk a mile high in their Converse All-Stars, constructin’ 2:30 punk rock epics.

The Hookers – Satan’s Highway – Review

November 1, 1998

Black metal subject matter runnin’ smack into no-time-for-a-breath turbopunk.

The Countdowns – Right On Sound – Review

September 1, 1998

Part primal rockabilly straight outta the Charlie Feathers songbook, chuggy ZZ Top, hard luck country bass’n’drums, AC/DC with soul, and Link Wray tribute.

Zeke – Flat Tracker – Review

February 1, 1997

These Seattlites froth and curse like white trash, whiskey drinkin’, drug usin’, hard livin’, hard fuckin’, hot rod racin’, law hatin’, fight startin’ cretins.

Cheeseburger – “Happy Hill” – Review

February 1, 1997

“Happy Hill” is a bad imitation of Iggy Pop versus a bad imitation of Frank Zappa. “Hellvis” is a speedier version of the same thing.

Scooch Pooch – Their Original Sins – Review

December 1, 1996

This comp has no theme, it’s not a tribute/benefit. It’s just flat-out unadorned rock ‘n’ roll music, loud ‘n’ coarse ‘n’ white trash, like it’s supposed to be.

Zeke – Chiva Knieval – Review

November 1, 1996

Good punk rock guitar screech, scum rock vocals with melody, elements of AC/DC and New Bomb Turks. Fast, energetic, to-the-point, cool.

The Ray-Ons – 2 Too Many – Review

November 1, 1996

Sped up garage, Cramps-style. It might be good, it might be bad. I can’t tell ’cause the sound quality’s so poor.
