Saint Low – Saint Low – CD (Thirsty Ear Recordings) This is pretty close to what I’ve come to expect from Thirsty Ear. A good college radio band that at times will hold my interest or at times fall just short. This is one of those times it falls short....

Setzer, Brian ’68 Comeback Special-Ignition – CD (Surfdog) Heading back to his rockabilly roots, Mr. Setzer belts out 14 ‘50s flavored melodies. The chorus for “5 Years, 4 Months, 3 Days” sounds very similar to the song “6 Days on the Road”. My favorite...

SNFU – The Ping Pong EP – CD (Alternative Tentacles Records) Definitely an appropriate title: this five song release opens and closes with live ping pong playing a la Beastie Boys on “Paul’s Boutique”. SNFU sounds the same as usual: pretty good power...

The Story So Far – When Fortune Smiled – CD (Hopeless Records) These guys play fairly typical pop-punk. They are better than most and could be compared favorably to the currently super popular Jimmy Eat World. But The Story So Far have a bit more of an emo...

Sam Densmore’s Silverhawk – Flowers in June E.P. – CD (POP Sweatshop) The only thing I hate about this CD is the name of the band. Sam Densmore’s Silverhawk made me think that I would be listening to a rock band from the early ’70s, ala...

Sewing with Nancie – Take a Look at Yourself – CD (Fast Music) This is friggin great! Good old punk-pop from the great white north, played by some teens. These canuks have the sound and style of one of my all time favorite bands Sicko! If you like Blink...

Dee Snider – Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down – CD (Koch Records) Mr. Snider said that this would be his last CD and that he would be exiting the music business. I think that he should have gotten out sooner. {Mite}...

Strangers as Heroes – This is Not a Result of Chemistry – CD (What Else? Records) Six tunes by this band that sounds so much like one of my all time favorite local bands, The Barnhills that it’s scary. And no fucking wonder, now looking at the CD I noticed...

Samiam – Astray – CD (Hopeless Records) A good, strong release from one of the best Punk-pop bands out there today. Samiam have been around for many years and age hasn’t diminished them at all. Catchy rhythms, heartfelt lyrics and loads of energy. My...

Shades Apart – Sonic Boom – CD (Universal Music) The band has a slick rockin’ alternative sound. The vocals have a roughness about them that goes perfectly with the music. For some reason I keep thinking this is the type of band that I would see as the...

Solefald – Pills Against the Ageless Ills – CD Well, usually John reviews most of the black metal but I gave this a try. This is a concept album, which usually are excellent (The Who’s Quadrophenia or Queensryche’s Operation Mindcrime) or they suck hard....

Suk-Suk – CD (Incriminating Records) My first inclination on reviewing this disk would be just too easy. So I’ll just say that this is very basic beginner 1-2 punk rock. {Mite} (2001)
