17 Reasons Why – The Dark Years – CD (Laundry Room Records) This band was the winner of Musician Magazine’s best unsigned band of 1998, and I can tell why. They play very catchy alternative rock in the vein of 10,000 Maniacs but with a vocal sound...

Cloud – Baywatch – A Musical Tribute – Cassette (Semper Lo-Fi) I’ve never seen an episode of Baywatch. Sure, I’ve seen snippets and recognize some of the people who have been on the show, but that’s about it. So, this tribute...

Dreams Come True – Sing or Die – CD (Virgin Records) Light and fluffy, sickly pop music. I say die. - Mite Mutant...

D.W. Harris – D.W. Harris – CD (Automanic Records) This is a fairly mellow roots-rock type release. However, you can’t be fooled by the first tracks, since the recording builds as it progresses with occasional lulls. By the end it rocks out to an...

Kung Fu Diesel – Hometown Jive – CD (Storm Records) These boys are a three-piece rockabilly / punk / country outfit straight from Parma, MI. These cats are a little silly, but I bet they are a great live act. My favorite line from this CD is “The...

The Mayfield Four – Fallout – LP (Laundry Room Records) This is the first LP I’ve received in quite a while. I have heard quite a bit about the Mayfield 4, so I was expecting to be blown away. Surprise, they disappointed me. They are good but I was...

Oscar and the Pidgin Sisters – The Bald and the Bootyful – 7″ (Vital Music Mailorder) Fun, lively and angst driven collection of tunes. I bet Johnny Death loves this line, “I’ll flush you down the toilet when you are finally dead, but...

Royal Crown Review – The Contender – CD (Warner Brothers Records) This is one of the bands at the forefront of the swing revival. They have a more traditional sound than most of the swingers out there and Eddie’s vocal style brings to mind the late,...

Trance, Atlantic, Air, Waves – The Energy of Sound – CD (Virgin Records) A nice little cd of club music, not techno but good solid instrumentals with lots of rhythm and synth. Alan Parsons “Lucifer”, and Jan Hammer’s...

All You Can Eat / Your Mother – Too Fat For Love – 7″ (Probe Records) AYCE and YM trade off songs throughout this 7″. This has several Grease portions thrown in and is funny, but not really worth much. It’s one of those releases I’d...

V/A – Urban Legend – CD (Milan Records) Slasher movies are all the rave once again. However, where many slasher movies in the past had instrumental soundtracks to help with the mood, modern ones have the flavor of the week artist supplying the mood music....
