Neon Angel – A Memoir of a Runaway – Review

May 1, 2010

The story of Runaways lead singer Cherie Currie, and in a broader context, the story of the sleazy reality of the music industry in the mid-to-late ’70s.

Mr. Gnome – Heave Yer Skeleton – Review

May 1, 2010

The weirdest band I’ve liked in awhile, and also one of the most unique. Nicole Barille has the sexiest, otherworldly, Betty Boop cartoon voice imaginable.

Midnight Spin – Through the Mojo Wire – Review

May 1, 2010

It won’t be long before they’re gobbled up by a label, conglomerate, somebody. They rip through these five songs so fast, you’re shocked when they’re through.

Gospel Gossip – Drift – Review

May 1, 2010

A Minnesota trio who weave dense, atmospheric guitars into thick slabs of sound. On Drift, a four-song EP, the band isn’t shy about pushing the volume.

Poisoned Heart – I Married Dee Dee Ramone – Review

March 1, 2010

This story is from the perspective of Dee Dee’s first wife Vera Ramone King. It tells of an enduring love that would’ve sent most people to the brink.

Metallica – The Club Dayz 1982-1984 – Review

March 1, 2010

Metallica would soon take over the world, but here, they were a bunch of dirty, long-hairs drinking, playing fast, and living out their lean years with vigor.

Black Diamond – The Unauthorized Biography of KISS – Review

March 1, 2010

Black Diamond gives an exhaustive, behind-the-scenes account of the band throughout their impressive, sometimes tumultuous, history.

Supersuckers – Get It Together! – Review

March 1, 2009

Some bona fide rockers on here, but there’s also some very adult-contemporary fare, and a further backslide into the country mien of Must’ve Been High.

The Breeders – Mountain Battles – Review

August 1, 2008

It’s been six years and a run at sober living, but alternative titan Kim Deal has finally breathed life into a new Breeders release.

Black Francis – SVN FNGRS – Review

July 1, 2008

Not the concept album of Bluefinger, this album sports at least a leitmotif: Demigods. Features strong, memorable choruses you can picture in movie trailers.
