Dave Thomas and the Foreigners – Bay City – CD (Thirsty Ear Recordings) Dave hums a duet with a clarinet on White Room. Dave isn’t a Frank Sinatra even though he pours every ounce of artistic conviction in his moanings of depression that he calls singing....

Tiger Army – Tiger Army – CD (Hellcat Records) When I first started listening to this I was tempted to call it punkabilly. True it is punked out rockabilly, but there is more to this release. It doesn’t sound like your typical rockabilly, played by...

Toilet Creatures – What are You Staring At? – CD (Smart Ass Records) Songs about puking, skating, homework, mucus and detasseling corn in the stool. Punk rock at it’s finest. Toilet Creatures describe their music as Cottage Grove mushcore and I agree...

Transport League – Satanic Panic – CD (Pavement Music) Scary Deathmetal that was kind of Melvinsesque in terms of the radically detuned guitar sounds and the vocals. With song titles like Hell Predicted, Plague Ship and Psycho Connected we can safely...

Toxic Narcotic – 89-99 – CD (Rodent Popsicle Records) It’s hard to believe that they have been around 10 years now, man I feel old. Hard, heavy, brutal hardcore played with a thrash / grindcore edge. You get 19 tracks in 37 gut-wrenching minutes. - Grog...

Twenty Third Chapter – An Eden for the Machines – LP (23rd Chapter) Wow, our only LP this issue. This is solid grindcore. I like grindcore at times, but that’s usually at an all age show when I’m feeling buzzed and having fun. It’s hard...
