Metlo – Review

September 1, 1999

This here’s something that should’ve come out a long time ago: A compilation of high profile (and some local) Latino heavy metal bands.

The Sheila Divine – New Parade – Review

September 1, 1999

The tone of The Smiths, choruses of Knapsack, vocals of Sunny Day Real Estate, and hints of Radiohead melodies. They’ll kick your ass and break your heart.

Incompatible2 – Review

September 1, 1999

Tons of bands, tons of songs, shitloads of videos and interviews. As usual, there’s an art gallery and photo gallery, and a funny “Star Wars Tattoo” feature.

The Receivers – Words and Terms – Review

September 1, 1999

Power pop tempo (not unlike Weston) and Elvis Costello melodies meet punk rock attitude.

Garrison – The Bend Before the Break – Interview

September 1, 1999

An interview with guitarists/vocalists Joe Grillo and Ed McNamara

The Pawn Rook Four – Songs for a Romantic Evening – Review

September 1, 1999

A pop quartet full of Beatle and Beach Boy-isms. Not all young male bands are spiked, distorted, and playing shitty imitation Slayer/Dead Kennedys!

Yoke Shire – Masque of the Shadows – Review

September 1, 1999

Some songs slither like classic Zappa, others tickle the heavens like Pink Floyd, and some chant and file through dark caves and forests like the Druids.

The Five Deadly Venoms – Shapeshift – Review

September 1, 1999

The Five Deadly Venoms rock out heavily and bruise your ears with their angular melodies, but sometimes they dip in and out of the “soft-to-loud” formula.

Camber – Anyway, I’ve Been There – Review

September 1, 1999

Camber utilizes dissonant melodies and angular guitars to create a semi-DC sound for themselves, a move that usually puts a stake right through the emo style.

Internal Bleeding – Driven to Conquer – Review

September 1, 1999

Memorable, brutal songs with elbow-swinging breakdowns ensure that both headbangers and hardcore cool-guys will love this. A well-thought out progression.
