Ian Brown – Golden Greats – Review

June 1, 2000

Golden Greats could’ve been an album made by a fresh talent bringing a new hybrid of rock and electronica into the market, but it’s not.

Husking Bee – The Sun and the Moon – Review

June 1, 2000

Like Starmarket, Snuff, and fellow countrymen, Hi-Standard, Husking Bee’s heavy guitars in no way detract from the band’s melancholy vibe and emotional impact.

Hung Up – Runnin Out – Review

June 1, 2000

Strung Out-style of pop-punk. Loads of octaves, fast beats, shredding guitars, palm muting chug-chug parts, and a fondness for hardcore breakdowns.

Greyarea – Fanbelt Algebra – Review

June 1, 2000

If you thought Black Train Jack had great sing-alongs, think again. (Ex-members of BTJ, Warzone, Token Entry, Crown of Thornz, and No Redeeming Social Value.)

Garrison – A Mile in Cold Water – Review

June 1, 2000

They’re heavy without being hard, dynamic without being unfocused. A combination of post-rock intellect and pop sensitivity. Well done.

Travis – The Man Who – Interview

June 1, 2000

An interview with guitarist Fran Healy

Gameface – Errortype: 11 – What’s Up Bro? – Review

June 1, 2000

After Gameface’s last disappointment of a long-player, they bounce back with two originals that’re probably some of the best hooks they’ve ever written.

By Virtue Alone – Odds Against Tomorrow – Review

June 1, 2000

Now that Earth Crisis has gone Fear Factory-core, it looks like this band is one of the only capable torchbearers of tight, slightly-complex metalcore.

Breach – Venom – Review

June 1, 2000

They’ve been influenced as much by later, metal-er Earth Crisis as by later, more-accessible Napalm Death. And a bit of Neurosis and Eyehategod.

Boy Sets Fire – After the Eulogy – Review

June 1, 2000

Yes, they do get better with each album, but at this rate, we’ll all be toothless old by the time they put out something good.
