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.

Ninety Pound Wuss – Short Hand Operation – Review

September 1, 1999

One minute it’s feedback and synthesizers, the next (by way of awkward transitions, most of the time) it’s Huntington Beach circa ’83, spiked mohawks and all.

Fanmail – Here Comes… – Review

September 1, 1999

Scott Silette, ex-frontman for Plankeye, tapped into catchy Beach Boys-y harmonies, infectious pop melodies, and humor. Destined for greatness.

Huntingtons – High School Rock – Review

November 1, 1998

Huntingtons recorded at Sonic Iguana with Mass Giorgini, there’s no “The” in front of their name, and all the band members last names are listed as Huntington.

Slick Shoes – Rusty – Review

December 1, 1997

Okay, I’ll admit Slick Shoes sound a hell of a lot like NOFX, but since when was that such a sin?

Stavesacre – Absolutes – Review

October 1, 1997

This sophomore effort is creative, powerful, and a perfect match to Saloman’s distinctive voice, which soars, yet has enough power to shout out above the din.

Overcome – When Beauty Dies – Review

October 1, 1997

Hoo-wee, these fellers can punch out a tune! Ten (plus the now obligatory bonus-track) pounding psalms to the glories of moral Christian life.

Danielson Famile – Review

July 1, 1997

All members of the Smith family, ranging in age from 12 to 24. There’s a tinge of gospel, but mostly it’s sloppy acoustic folk-ish weirdness.

Joy Electric – Old Wives Tales – Review

February 1, 1997

Dreamy textures of synthetic sounds, layered like a fantastic banquet cake decorated with colorful oddities and scrumptious frosting.
