Barbara Ann – Ode to My Freaks – Review

November 19, 2003

Barbara Ann is a scrumptious model. She’s also a pretty bad-ass punk guitarist with a sexy babydoll voice. And quite a scream. She also writes some good songs.

Anthemic Pop Wonder – Rapid Pop Thrills – Review

November 19, 2003

Enthusiastic, near-giddy at times, the often-wavering vocals simply ooze sincerity. Anthemic Pop Wonder are garagey in the non-fuzzed, pure pop sense.

Near Life Experience – Day of Silver Sun – Review

November 19, 2003

Groove metal with a passionate singer (not a screamer, not a growler/barker/shrieker). From New Orleans, there’s some lush, warm darkness, a bit of eerieness…

Gaza Strippers – From the Desk of Dr. Freepill – Review

November 19, 2003

Rick’s got a distinctive voice, somehow mixing Styx, Cheap Trick, and helium (the gas, not the band). And any rocker in their right mind’ll play with him.

Lazerwolfs – Get Mad – Review

November 19, 2003

Lazorwolfs strip the music to its essence and let it rip. There are desert rock moments and stoner/psych “fingertip drips,” but 90% is a full-throttle charge.

Emok – Crumbs – Review

November 19, 2003

Pounding, gritty, and bass-heavy (people seem to reference Shellac in the first 60 seconds), and vocally, there’s an intonation quite distinct and memorable..

The Afflictions – The Peotone – Review

November 19, 2003

Part swagger, part spazzout, seemingly not White Stripes fashion fucks, this mere six-song EP isn’t enough.

Avenged Sevenfold – Waking the Fallen – Interview

November 19, 2003

An Interview with vocalist M. Shadows

Antimatter – Lights Out – Review

November 12, 2003

Heavy like Pink Floyd instead of Pantera, Antimatter is quiet, open, rolling like thunder on the horizon. Duncan Patterson (ex-Anathema) creates actual songs.

Burden Brothers – Queen O’ Spades – Review

October 29, 2003

While waiting six years for the Toadies’ Hell Below/Stars Above to be released by Interscope, Vaden Todd Lewis and Taz recorded this Burden Brothers EP.
