Bitchy – Black Socks and Happiness – Review

January 1, 2000

Despite having members of The Blue Meanies, this ain’t nothin’ like The Blue Meanies. Like the band name, this is bitchy, mean, ultra-fast hardcore punk.

Chris Cornell – Euphoria Morning – Review

January 1, 2000

Feel your heart ache and your knees tremble, and be impressed by the quality of musicianship that can come from a skinny, formerly shaggy-headed rocker.

United – Distorted Vision – Review

January 1, 2000

Japan’s United have updated their sound (finally), switching from a thrash/speedmetal band to a roaring, dark nü metal band with strong urges to thrash about.

The Jackie Papers – I’m in Love – Review

January 1, 2000

Ex-Pink Lincoln Chris Barrows returns with three beauties to release a 12-minute, six-song EP mixed by Bill Stevenson (ALL/Descendents) at The Blasting Room.

Bigwig – Stay Asleep – Review

January 1, 2000

They’re trying too hard to show how far they’ve come. Last record fave was “The Girl in the Green Jacket,” although most hit the mark, due to pure charm.

30 Foot Fall – Ever Revolving, Never Evolving – Review

January 1, 2000

30footFall is picking up where Guttermouth left off. They’re fast, they’re irreverent, and they make fun of themselves as much as everything around them.

The Gravel Pit – Silver Gorilla – Review

January 1, 2000

Explosive guitar, beefy vocals that pour like syrup on a sundae and sometimes snarl like metal scraping concrete, and beats that bop, slam, and move your butt.

Over It – Review

January 1, 2000

Sounding like sweet cherries, Over It thunder their way through an EP with style and grace, breaking it up with emo-y breakdowns and intros.

Nocturnal Rites – The Sacred Talisman – Review

January 1, 2000

Poppy, melodic, uplifting metal with pristine rhythms and major-key solos spiraling and performing death-defying mid-air stunts always puts a smile on my face.

The Criminals – Burning Flesh and Broken Fingers – Review

January 1, 2000

The Criminals have that simple ’80s punk thing going on, and while it ain’t nothing new, they’re good at what they do.
