Pat Dull & His Media Whores – It’s About Time – 7″ (Break-Up! Records) Note to self: I must go see this band live. This band fuckin’ rocks. I was truly blown away. “It’s About Time” is straight on rock ‘n’ roll done to...

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...

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...

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...

Dig Dug – Whoa…a Dig Dug Seven Inch – 7″ (Rebound Records) Dig Dug play catchy, if not typical pink pop. It’s well played and fun, however, it’s just to prevalent these days. Another good punk pop bands to add to the long list of...

Anthony Distefano – Demo – Cassette This demo is a non-vocal project which comes off as a would-be soundtrack to an independent suspense/horror flick. I don’t know, I guess he was influenced somewhat by Industrial and Gothic music, but it...

Divit – Low Speed Chase – CD (Coldfront Records) This band has the punk with a pop edge sound. The sound is fast and the vocals are clean. I really like the lyrics for their positive slant. This band would be a treat to see live. - Mite Mutant...

Donovan’s Brain – Eclipse and Debris – CD (Get Hip Recordings) This is what you get if you try to smoke banana peels and try really hard to be bizarre is a post-psychedelic sort of way. I’d rather huff freon than listen to Donovan’s Brain....

Diesel Boy – Sofa King Cool – CD (Honest Don’s) This sounds like frat boy punk-pop. The thing that saves them in my eyes is the clever lyrics. From the Used Bin rips on many popular alt-rock bands and Literary Love Song is extremely clever with its...
