Birdwatchers of America – There Have Been Sightings – CD (Raise Giant Frogs Records) Taking full advantage of their name they inject sound clips regarding birdwatching between tracks. The music isn’t bad, just some good straight ahead rock with a bit...

Black Cat Music – This is the New Romance – CD (Cheetah’s Records) Wine In A Box, hypnotizes the listener into a thick drug induced haze and paints the scenery with dyed black hair, dexedrine, and a faint stench of patchouli. I fell into deep...

Big Bubba – Big Bubba – CD (Smart Ass Records) The only way to truly enjoy Big Bubba is with a Billy Beer, pork grinds, and an old issue of “Mad” magazine. Big Bubba’s music is loud, fast and sloppy. Lots of cussing kiddies for the extra...
