Dwarves – Come Clean – CD (Epitaph Records) How’s it Done is a very Ramones-ish tune that is a catchy lead-off to this release. After the initial track the Dwarves burst into their standard punk rock style. Over You is a more industrial influenced...

The Davenports – Speaking of the Davenports – CD (Mother West) The first song, Girls Night Out sounded somewhat like Paul McCartney / Beatles or XTC. I read the lyrics from that track about the local social scene / nightlife / single young adulthood, and I...

Deep Reduction – Deep Reduction – CD (Get Hip Recordings) On first listen I thought of the Stooges fronted by a sedate Iggy, butmid-periodd R.E.M. keeps spring to mind as well due to the instrumentalizations. It has its moments, but overall has too much of...

Dance Hall Crashers – Purr – CD (Pink & Black Records) The Dance Hall Crashers are back and on their own label…no more major label blues. They still play the same great ska-flavored punk-pop and Elyse & Karina’s vocals make me melt. Among the...

Distortion Felix – I’m An Athlete – CD (Alias Records) Like the name of the band suggests, there’s a lot of distorted guitar in the music presented on this album. On the song “Red Lips” they’ve got a lot of overpowering...

Discount – Love, Billy – CD (Fueled by Ramen Records) Discount covers five Billy Bragg songs on this EP. They are a grrrl fronted garage punk band. The vocalist Allison sounds very natural singing these songs, almost like she wrote them. The songs sound...
