Cantinero – Better for the Metaphor – CD (Tinkle Tone Records) Cantinero is led by Christopher L Hicken and plays pleasant, catchy rock leaning towards pop, but with an odd quirky appeal. By adding in other sounds like from a theramin, cello, glockenspiel,...

Core – The Hustle is On – CD (Tee Pee / MIA Records) Oh God…I know this CD had to have ended up in the unclaimed pile, and I got stuck with it. Oh, the humanity… anyway, Core really sucks. “The Hustle Is On” is a collection of...

Counting Crows – This Desert Life – CD (DGC) I’m a bit surprised. I like a few of their songs that I’ve heard on the radio from previous releases, but I never really expected much from them. This release has turned out to be one of my favorites in this...

The Robert Cray Band – Heavy Picks – CD (Mercury / Universal Records) Robert Cray was the first blues musician that I really listened to and got into. Sure I’d heard quite a lot of blues before him, but none of them really reached me. The only thing close...

Crispus Attucks – Destroy the Teacher – CD (Soda Jerk Records) There’s really something to be said for short songs. The reason I say that is that this album is jam packed with em’! Killer hardcore, speedy drums, guitars pounding out the cool...

Cadillac Tramps – Live! – CD (BYO Records) This is a true rock and roll band in the tradition of Social Distortion and The Supersuckers. The Cadillac Tramps also bring to mind the best aspects of Guns ‘n’ Roses. If rock is making a comeback...

The Casualties – For the Punx – CD (GMM Records) Gutter punk ’77 style straight outta NYC. These guys have the look (the mohawks, the bondage pants, the spiked leather), and the snotty attitudes to match. Great live photos, and the cover is nice and...

Cro-Mags – Revenge – CD Hardcore punk crap. I’m sure these guys have many fans around , but I’m definitely not one of them. Is this CD supposed to sound angry and aggressive?? Green Day is more aggressive than this. 2/10 - Johnny Death...

Cataract Falls – The Sound of Your Breath Still – CD (Idols of the Marketplace) A group of people literally screaming god knows what to band noise. I got so annoyed while listening to this that I took the disc out of my car CD player and whipped it out the...

Crosby – Nash – Live – CD (MCA / Universal Records) This release starts off explosively with the melding of the two voices floating on a rockin’/percussive musical carpet. Then the two start to mellow out, which didn’t grab me as much....

Catch 22 – Washed Up! – CD (Victory Records) Well, their last release “Keasby Nights” was one of my favorites last year. So, when I heard about this new EP I was really excited, but a bit pensive since I heard that their main singer had left. Actually, two...

Crosby – Nash – Whistling Down the Wire – CD (MCA / Universal Records) Re-mastered from the original analog master tapes, it’s those two crazy kid harmonizers, Crosby and Nash. This wonderful release has a folksy/psychedelic feel about it. The...
