Less Than Jake – In With The Out Crowd – Review

September 22, 2006

“These guys are still around?” Hey, you can say it, we’re all thinking it. Surprisingly yes, and more surprisingly, Less Than Jake is still good.

The Von Bondies – Pawn Shoppe Heart – Review

November 22, 2004

Produced by Talking Head Jerry Harrison, this reminds me of the mid-to-late ’70s NY punk scene, complete with some choice glam/glitter-rock trimmings.

Deadsy – Commencement – Review

January 1, 2000

Great, evocative stuff. Futuristic Goth, instead of that medieval, pipes in the woods & tribal drums stuff. Morbid Angel meets Eno. In Tron-land. Fantastic.

Midget – Jukebox – Review

January 1, 1999

They really oughtta come to terms with the fact that they’re better at dippy, punky pop than filtering the Beatles through too many Goo Goo Dolls records.

Sugarsmack – Tank Top City – Review

September 1, 1998

Hope Nicholls’ larynx-tearing style is strongly reminiscent of The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb” played through an 8-track player that had a speedball spilled in it.

Morcheeba – Big Calm- Review

April 1, 1998

In addition to scratching, funky beats, and cinematic synth grooves, Morcheeba integrates a variety of genres.

Supersonic – Wall to Wall Moustache – Review

March 1, 1998

Wall to Wall Moustache is a wall-thumping breakbeat monster. The inevitable Chemical Brothers and Crystal Method comparisons must be made.

Laika – Sounds of the Satellites – Review

December 1, 1997

The music is highly unoriginal laid-back dance grooves (leaning too much towards Portishead territory) and the lyrics have no real punch either.

Deadsy – Interview

June 1, 1997

An interview with Elijah Blue Allman and Renn Hawkey

Jerry Lee Lewis – Young Blood – Review

October 1, 1995

Now he’s heavier, both in physical terms and in the aura of sheer Old Testament meanness, which is the older Killer’s stock and trade.
