(Originally appeared in Mutant Renegade Zine #12, Fall 1999) For several years of my life, I drank and went clubbing three to four times a week. I had tons and tons of friends who loved to get drunk with me, dance until dawn, and get up in just enough time to report...

59 Times the Pain – End of the Millennium – CD (Epitaph Records) Standard hardcore with chanting choruses. Angry vocals for the common man and the system which he sees attacking him. There is also a touch of old style garage rock thrown in which lightens...

Bugatti Type 35 – Ride – 7″ (Speakeasy Records) This is a live recording of two of their songs taken from a studio appearance at WORT (great Madison, WI radio station). This is more of Bugatti Type 35′s slow, enthralling, emotionally charged...

Diesel Boy – Sofa King Cool – CD (Honest Don’s) This sounds like frat boy punk-pop. The thing that saves them in my eyes is the clever lyrics. From the Used Bin rips on many popular alt-rock bands and Literary Love Song is extremely clever with its...

Grade – Under the Radar – CD (Victory Records) This is a fairly hard and heavy band with an overall hardcore / emo feel to their music. The vocals hit into the hardcore scream mode at times, but primarily there is an overall gruff sound that fits the...

Madder Rose – Hello June Fool – CD (Thirsty Ear Records) Mesmerizing female vocals cradled by swirly music. This c.d. has also been described as beautifully atmospheric and haunting with rich vocals and cosmic coated guitar. I fully agree and am...

Orange 9mm – Pretend I’m Human – CD (Ng Records) This c.d. is wonderful. This band reminds me of a mellower Rage Against the Machine. The music has a more laid back feel to it, and the sound is diverse in how the instruments are used. The power of...

The Trouble – Nobody Laughs Anymore – CD (GMM Records) Punk Rock dammit! They stuck in my mind but didn’t sound too different, but I was intrigued by the picture on the back cover where the singer is wearing a Smiths shirt and the guitarist is...

V/A – Josh’s Blair Witch Mix – CD (Chapter III Records) Ok, I’ve seen the movie and everybody I’ve talked to have one of two opinions about it, either they love it or hate it. But regardless of how you feel about the movie you have to...

78 Revolutions per Minute – Figure it Out – 7″ (Cheetah’s Records) This really surprised me it’s kind of a punkabilly type thing with a casio keyboard. Really fun music that borders on nerdcore. It’s like an updated version of The...
