Blue Yard Garden – No Good Sundays – CD (Empyrean Records) Whoa, talk about your mellow bands. With only 4 hours of sleep last night, listening to this c.d. is making me sleepy. The sound of this band is mellow-acoustic with an Eddie Vedder-ish lead vocal....

Culture Bandits – Noise is for Heroes – CD (Static Records) I remember my old band playing with these guys years ago. They were great live and did a cool cover of Chemical Wire by fIREHOSE. This CD sounds pretty much how I remember them but now they are a...

Melissa Ferrick – Everything I Need – CD (What Are Records?) Melissa’s music is folksy-acoustic with a dash of alternative sound. This c.d. is really lacking. With hard-hitters like Jewel and Ani Difranco putting out top quality tunes, Melissa seems...

Go Robot Go – Go Robot Go – CD (Weedtone Music) Shinola (later changed to Go Robot Go) is a Columbus, Ohio based band. I listened to this CD around five times and I still can’t recall what they sound like. I think that their sound reminds me of a child...

Kill Holiday – Somewhere Between the Wrong is Right – CD (Revelation Records) Kill Holiday has a nice, smooth college alternative rock sound with a vocalist who reminds me of Morrissey, but not as whiny. Overall they don’t thrill me much. They are...

Motorhome – Man of the Future – CD Matt Espy is in this band!! That oughta be the end of this review–’nuff said, and all that–but I suppose I should mention something else about the rest of the band, too. They remind me of early (the only...

Pinhead Circus – Everything Else is a Far Gone Conclusion – CD (BYO Records) This sounds like skater punk. Back in the day they called that hardcore, but that definition doesn’t really work very well anymore, so skater punk will have to do....

Selector – Cruel Britannia – CD (Snapper Music Inc.) I really wanted to dig Selector because I have heard their name for years in relation to being in the ska movement. The vocals by Pauline Black are dull, flat, and uninspired and leave the listener...

Templeton – Trash to Treasure – CD (Derailieur Records) What the hell is up with Columbus nowadays?! Yet another cool band from Cowtown. I don’t even like Columbus very much to be honest. Don’t be offended. It’s not like it stinks or...

Zero Parade – Zero Parade – CD (Acme Records) The vocals on many of the tunes remind me of the lead singer of They Might Be Giants. This band has a weak alternative sound. The playing is good, but the songs just don’t grab me. - Mite Mutant...

V/A – Gunman in the Clocktower – 7″ (Reminiscent Records) This is a five band/five song compilation featuring: Gut Bucket, Reckless Abandon, Sirr Issac Lyme, Lost Cause & Distempered. All bands play great fast paced snotty punk rock with...

V/A – Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels – CD (Maverick Records / WB) I have heard this movie described as a combination of Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting. The movie soundtrack seems to lean more toward that of Pulp Fiction, but isn’t as strong....
