Dolly Varden – Thrill of Gravity – CD I saw these guys open for Todd Snider in Chicago this year so I am partial to them. The record gets off to a slow start, but when it shines, it glitters. “Dangerously Thin” is a must hear. They kinda sound...

Grinspoon – Licker Bottle Cozy – CD (Universal Records) This is very heavy metal sounding music ala early Megadeth. It reminds me of Pantara in a way but the vocals are more in the alternative rock vein. If you’re into heavy metalish stuff than this...

Less Than Jake – Hello Rockview – CD (Capitol Records) I loved this as soon as I popped it in. It immediately reminded me of VooDoo Glow Skulls. Good fast melodic punk / ska that really gets you movin’, it’s enough to make me feel like...

The Pietasters – Willis – CD (Hellcat Records) I saw these guys on the Warped tour and interviewed the singer, Stephen, who was really cool. I have to thank Gail’s twin (they were wearing the same 40′s shirt) from Hydrochloric Asshead zine for...

V/A – Grita! Sampler – CD (Grita!) Grita is a label of Latino bands who run the gamut from straight ahead rock to hardcore to ska to hip hop to mellow ballad rock to salsa influenced rock. Most sing in Espanol with a few songs being bilingual. I found most...

The Aquabats! – The Fury of The Aquabats! – CD (Time Bomb Records) I am a totally converted Aquabats cadet. I heard on the warped tour from several people that I missed one of the best bands while I was interviewing some people, then when Gail and I walked...

Driller Killer – Fuck the World – CD (Osmose Productions) Another crappy release from osmose records. I listened to a few minutes of this cd, and then tossed it on the trash. Typical death metal vocal, very boring repetitive songs. Song themes similar to...

Gutfiddle – Kung Foolery – CD (Onefoot Records) Hardcore drum beats and soaring vocal harmonies. Is it some really good Bad Religion sans the sickeningly sweet vocals and wanking guitar? No, it’s Gutfiddle who have produced one of my favorite...

Libido – Killing Some Dead Time – CD (Velvel Records) A groovy little alternative pop trio. Mellifluous sounding songs that remind me of a smoother Jellyfish or even Redd Kross. - Mite Mutant...

Ramona and Beezus – Built to Abandon… – CD (IMP Records) Very annoying. I mean very, very annoying. I wanted to take the c.d. out of the player and smash it into tiny pieces, but then I had a second thought. I’m going to give it to Grog and...

Tex Svengali – Adonai Elohim El Camino – CD (Opulence!) A band that seems to be looking for a Louisiana swamp heavy rock sound, but comes off sounding like a cover band of weak covers. The songs by no means live up to their titles. - Mite Mutant...
