The Electric Bible – Chapter 1 – Review

February 23, 2005

Like Large Number, a side project for Ann Shelton of Add N to (X). Anyone into the new wave of electro indie pop electro clash butt munch should listen up.

The Deadbeats – Long Hard Nights – Review

February 23, 2005

If more people knew about Swedish bands like The Deadbeats, American rock radio might not suck so bad. True rock’n’roll like the Hellacopters.

Sunshine – Moonshower and Razorblades – Review

February 23, 2005

From the Czech Republic, loves new wave (Flock of Seagulls, Gene Loves Jezebel). Smacks of “You Spin Me Right Round, Baby” or whatever by Dead or Alive.

Spitalfield – Stop Doing Bad Things – Review

February 23, 2005

Heartfelt, new style “punk,” tours with Fall Out Boy and Straylight Run. From Chicago, so they’re a little smarter than yer average jerk-off, but not by much.

Snow Machine – Review

February 23, 2005

Touching, simple, piano and guitar-based songs. Some of the piano reminds of Bruce Hornsby. Katharine sounds nice, buy her a flower so she’ll smile.

Snitches Get Stitches – I Liked You Better When You Were A Corpse – Review

February 23, 2005

Like many great bands, they’re post this, and post that, chaotic and messy and indescribable. Keyboards and clanking noise and catchiness. Real alternative.

Sledgeback – People’s Choice – Review

February 23, 2005

Gruff vocals, peppy but not frantic punk/power pop paces, and tunefullness to kill for. What’s not to like?

Single Frame – Body/End/Basement – Review

February 23, 2005

Electronic music for trendy indie kids too lazy to get into real electronic music. Single Frame is evidently one of the bigger names in this watered-down genre.

Polysics – Polysics or Die – Review

February 23, 2005

I thought the cover said “Poli-Sci or Die!,” which is pretty funny. This band is a lot of fun. A Japanese pop punk band who loves (and dresses like) Devo.

Mobius Band – City vs Country – Review

February 23, 2005

Five-song EP of subtle, kinda catchy indie pop with some trendy keybords slipped in sometimes. Produced by a guy who’s worked with Rainer Maria and Interpol.
