Gretchen Busam – THIS is What I Look Like – CD (Innova Music) New age hippy head music. Sure this music is okay while banging on the drums, dancing and singing around the campfire while trippy out of your head. But once you sober up it just doesn’t...

Dead Lazlo’s Place – Lonely Street – CD (New Red Archives) DLP reminds me of early Bad Religion, but the lyrics and vocals fit more into the hard rock arena. Actually, the more I listen to this, the more I think of a hard rock band with punk /...

Furslide – Adventure – CD Catchy alternative-pop musings. Female vocals with oomph backed by a steady beat. This c.d. will probably not get much radio or Mtv play due to the fact that it is more on the hip side as compared to other alternative bands. The...

Jon Cougar Concentration Camp – Melon – CD (BYO Records) Thirteen songs in twenty-four minutes. Great, fast, fun, snotty, melodic punk rock in the vein of Mr. T Experience, the Migraines, Screeching Weasel, Larry Brrrds, etc. Nothing groundbreaking but...

Morrella’s Forest – From Dayton with Love – CD (Tooth & Nail Records) Morella’s Forest remind me of the better eighties alternative rock bands with female singers. Sid has a cool, sweet voice with a touch of seductiveness to it that tends...

Voodoo Glow Skulls – The Band Geek Mafia – CD (Epitaph Records) One of the original 3rd wave ska bands. They’ve been around for ten years and sound as good as ever. They have a great skacore sound but unlike MMB their vocalist at times sounds like...

V/A – We Will Fall:The Iggy Pop Tribute – CD (Royalty Records) There’s is not substitute for Iggy, but twenty bands do a good job covering his songs and stay pretty true to the originals. There’s a range of great bands on hear including: Joan...

At the dive-in – in/CASINO/OUT – CD (Fearless Records) The first thing I noticed while looking through their booklet was that my good friend Sebby (Pam) is listed in the thanks list. That instantly made me like this band even before I heard them. Pretty...
