Dead Lazlo’s Place – Lonely Street – Review

April 1, 1999

Lonely Street’s songs open with some of the most generic chord structures in punk/rock, yet a few bars in, you’ve forgotten your initial groan.

Das Klown – Antidote – Review

April 1, 1999

With a distinctly vintage sound (i.e. shitty), Antidote is bare-bones, bare-knuckle punk late ’80s-style with very few concessions.

W.A.S.P. – Double Live Assassins – Review

January 1, 1999

They wrote songs you could sing, play on guitar, and really relate to (when you were an awkward, angry teen) without hating later for being sissified goop.

Wade – Odd Man Out – Review

January 1, 1999

You can tell Wade is a good band with a distinctive sound, but Odd Man Out trims all the edges, leaving only hints of an interesting noise pop band.

UFO – Walk on Water – Review

January 1, 1999

Walk on Water represents the reunion of the “original” (or, at least, the most famous) line-up of a band that found success in the mid-to-late ’70s.

The Huntington Cads – Introducing the New Sound – Review

January 1, 1999

For all practical purposes, the casual instrumental surf/samba/spy/etc. fan really needs know only two bands: The Huntington Cads and The Bomboras.

Funeral Oration – Survival – Review

January 1, 1999

A different vocal style (a kinda lilting, heavily-vibratoed voice kinda like Morrissey) to add to the otherwise interchangeable punk songs. Worthy.

Four Letter Word – A Nasty Piece of Work – Review

January 1, 1999

While growlly and filled with “whoah” harmonies, Four Letter Word is a young band with a vintage sound that doesn’t sound borrowed.

The Ducky Boys – Dark Days – Review

January 1, 1999

Not as unique as the Dropkicks, and GMM ain’t exactly stiff competition for Hellcat/Epitaph, The Ducky Boys have a similar pro-unity, pro-blue-collar approach.

Fiendz – Cole – Review

January 1, 1999

You’d expect more from Fiendz than this thick-voiced, over-harmonied regurgitation of Hammond organ prog rock.
