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...

Defleshed – Fash Forward – CD (Pavement Music) Thirteen track of fast and furious flesh grinding metal including a couple live tracks. Reminds me of Unleashed and Vader. One play of this CD was enough for me. Now I have a nice shiny coaster. 6/10 - Johnny...

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...

Drown – Kerosene – CD (Slipdisc Records) / Mercury) I don’t know, isn’t there enough of this around…this is Korn wannabee stuff. I mean, I could definitely hear this on top 40 alternacrap radio and MTV. It seems like more product because...

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...
