The Appleseed Cast – Mare Vitalis – Review

April 1, 2000

Captures all the raw pain of the first release, contain it in a not-as-melodramatic format, and learned to play more than power chords!!

Fifteen – Allegra – Review

April 1, 2000

It’s low-down and dirty, it’s sugar on your sing-alongs. Lyrically, Fifteen is so honest they could put Rollins out of business.

Error Type: 11 – Amplified to Rock – Review

April 1, 2000

Amplified to Rock is unabashedly hook-laden, radio-friendly material that doesn’t forget its tough roots.

Good Clean Fun – On the Streets Saving the Scene from the Forces of Evil – Review

April 1, 2000

This band is everything old school ever needed: amazing songs, positive message, humor, and knowing when to vary the tempos and vocal patterns.

For Love Not Lisa – The Lost Elephant – Review

April 1, 2000

A good grunge rock band that should’ve hit the big time like the other Seattlers. A collection of the band’s old unreleased/rare material with four new songs.

Pop Unknown – If Arsenic Fails, Try Algebra – Review

April 1, 2000

Dreamy Brit-pop/atmosphere in bed with traditional emo. Soothing tempos filled with emo guitar stylings, but salvaged from Bland City with written vocal lines.

Pollen/ Co-Ed split – Review

April 1, 2000

A great split between two very impressive bands. Pollen is pop-punk ala Descendents at its best.

Pollen – Chip – Review

April 1, 2000

Quirky, funny, and with a knack for tunes about girls. The vocalist is as strong as Chad or Milo, and he’s got an equally muscular band behind him.

Planes Mistaken for Stars – Knife in the Marathon – Review

April 1, 2000

Knife in the Marathon is a damn nice piece of screamo: Tender yet aggressive, explosive but without forgetting the shoegazer parts.

Phobia – Destroying the Masses – Review

April 1, 2000

Old school grind/death just the way I like it. Think a cleaner version of Reek of Putrefaction or Mentally Murdered, high screams backed by low growls and all.
