Witch – Review

May 5, 2006

Witch is an absolutely KILLER new band featuring Dinosaur Jr. head-honcho J Mascis, with Dave Sweetapple, Kyle Thomas, and Asa Irons.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre – We Are the Radio – Review

December 2, 2005

The main voice on these five songs belongs to a female, an unidentified newcomer. The songs themselves are firmly within the BJTM continuum.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre – Tepid Peppermint Wonderland – Review

May 9, 2005

An ideal starting point for a newcomer. I always like a song or two from each new TBJM album, but never enough to warrant actually keeping it.

Gonga – Review

January 10, 2005

Four long-haired lager louts stumble out of a cider farm in the English countryside where they’ve been locked up with Nirvana and Black Sabbath albums.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre – …And This Is Our Music – Review

February 16, 2004

Pretty songs packed to the gills with hushed vocals, lightly-strummed guitars, understated strings, unintrusive synth blips, and light washes from the drumkit.

On Trial – Blinded By The Sun – Review

November 12, 2003

All kinds of hard rock/psych splatter-flower-howl from the Nixon era, gargled through the requisite Dee-troit Amboy Dukes/Frost/Stoogeness head waggle.

Sleep – Dopesmoker – Review

November 5, 2003

Though considered one of the biggest, best, and most important bands in stoner rock’s short history, Sleep has always bored me to death.

The High Strung – These Are Good Times – Review

September 24, 2003

From the same Detroit pop scene as The Sights and Outrageous Cherry, The High Strung compose pop songs worthy of being mentioned alongside those two fine bands.

Guerrilla Jukebox – Vol. 1 – Review

July 23, 2003

I’ve got damn near every album sampled here, which I suppose speaks highly of Tee Pee’s output cuz I’m a pretty picky motherfucker.

All Night – Review

June 13, 2003

All Night plays the sort of classic rock that inevitably garners comparisons to the Rolling Stones even though they don’t really sound like ’em.
