Wonder where Jeff Buckley got his genes? Some might know of his father, the late underground folk hero Tim Buckley, but I bet there aren’t many of you.
This comp samples Tooth & Nail’s expanding roster of rock bands that stretch over many genres. I guess Starflyer 59 was too mellow to make this thing, huh?
Vader is molten lava, boiling over with intensity, passion, and brutality. Meaty grind with no gore lyrics, third-rate computer artwork, or saturated growls.
Taking the art-school hardcore that they experimented with on their debut full-length even further, this EP is like a trip through someone’s private catharsis.
A great way of getting to know one of the more hard-working labels in the underground, even if its bands have not all reached the same level of competency.
Dennis Lyxzen’s no-frills ’60s/’70s mod/garage rock band takes Small Faces, The Kinks, The Who, The Zombies, and The Make-Up and forms another mod rock band.
Equal parts Britpop (Radiohead, Travis), American pop (Elliott Smith), and American indie (Sea And Cake, Low), this is a post-emo band trying to make amends.
