Big Angry Fish! – The 13 Electric Turn-Ons – CD (Beluga Records) Let’s talk about Sohio, the fifth and best song on the CD. When I start reviewing I listen to a couple of songs, and then prioritize all the CD’s according to really good and really bad. This...

Jon Cougar Concentration Camp – Hot Shit – CD (BYO Records) Nasty! Rude! Loads and loads of fun shit! Speed of sound brash face-punching punk. Certainly, they get the ‘best band name of the decade’ award. There’s no bullshit here. Just straight on Punk...

Joshua – A Whole New Theory – CD (Doghouse Records) Toledo! Fuckin’ Toledo? Come on. I grew up in that shitty, rusting ghost town, and when I left (okay it was ten years ago) there wasn’t a goddam thing going on musically or otherwise. But here is this...

Murder 1 – American Junkie – CD (Pavement Music) Yuk! There’s enough testosterone here to kill a butch buffalo. Not my cup of tea. I think they’re into Pantera and Rage Against The Machine, but I don’t think they quite achieve anything close to that...

Jupiter Down – Jupiter Down – CD (Beluga Records) This is reminiscent of Tonya Donnelly from Belly and Throwing Muses, but with a lot more malice. Heavy, at moments poised on the edge of a groove. A few songs are a tad long, and a bit underdeveloped, with...

U.S. Maple – “Talker” – CD (Drag City) Devo began the de-evolution of music back in the eighties. Here in 1999 U.S. Maple has achieved perfect and precise deconstruction. Precise and calculated compositional entropy and random, flourishing guitar squeals...
