Coldspot 8 – It’s the Feelgood – CD (Beatville Records) This is first wave styled ska with a big dose of reggae. I like the groove, but it remains similar throughout most of the songs. This is more of a background ska disc or a soundtrack to put on...

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...

Cactus Pears – Snacks for Slacks – CD (EFB Records) This band reminds me a little bit of Wilco, Son Volt and other alt-country acts out there, with an edgy sense of cynicism and twangy melodies, but Cactus Pears incorporates a spacier/surfer feel to some...

Caustic Resin – Trick Question – CD (Alias Records) Never heard of them before. Hmmm, not sure if this is totally my thing. Very eclectic in styles thru out this album. Here and there I heard some Rolling Stones influences. The song Road Block was a real...
