3rd Window – Tell Me Why – CD (TWindow Records) 3rd Window is Bryn on six- and 12-string acoustic guitar, lead vocals and flute, Jacky Bell on percussion, harmonica and vocals, and Jeff Lauterbach on bass. Surprisingly, the vocals and instrumentation work...

At.the.drive.in – Vaya – CD (Fearless Records) This band at least is trying to be a bit experimental in their alternative rock styling. I’ve been listening to this CD over and over, trying to find a good band comparison for them, but I just...

Bush – The Science of Things – CD (Trauma Records) / Universal) OK, I admit it, I like this release and think that Bush is one of the better top 40 alternative rock bands out there. Also, their hit single from this album The Chemicals Between Us is...

The Crayon Theatrical – The Crayon Theatrical – CD (Skeptical Cat Recordings) This six-song release by the one man wonder, Michael Homyk, is a proof that it’s possible to home record and not suck. The music has a swirly psychedelic feel to it. The...

Freddy Fender – Lone Star – The Best of Freddy Fender – CD (Music Collection International) Okay, here’s the deal, while listening to CD’s at Grog’s I mentioned that on his solo album, John Popper sounded like Freddy Fender....

Hi-Standard – Making the Road – CD (Fat Wreck Chords) This is a decent punk-pop band from Japan, but at times they seem to be rushing themselves by trying to play faster than they really can. This causes songs to get disjointed. The two standouts are both...

Jupiter Down – Jupiter Down – CD (Beluga Records) This is reminiscent of Tonya Donnelly from Belly and Throwing Muses, but with a lot more malice. Heavy, at moments poised on the edge of a groove. A few songs are a tad long, and a bit underdeveloped, with...

Metroschifter – Strawberries – CD (Doghouse Records) Strawberries are those little red fruits that are delicious raw or when they are part of a daiquiri. They are also those nasty welts that baseball players get when they slide into a base. This release by...

Pavement – “Terror Twilight” – CD (Matador Records) I was being absorbed into an especially puffy couch on Saturday. It was one of those parties after the bars closed -strictly diehards, lots of listless staring at the various ashtrays, cans and...

Sixteen Deluxe – Sixteen Deluxe – CD (Sugar Fix Recordings) You know how when you’re really drunk and the world has a very surreal feel to it? Things look and sound different and though it’s disorienting it’s also kind of fun, but at times you scream to...

Superchunk – Come Pick Me Up – CD (Merge Records) First off for all of the people who claim that all Superchunk records sound the same (a sacrilege which will not get you on the good side of a guy who calls himself ‘superchunk sTEve), I have just one thing...

White Skull – Tales from the North – CD (Nuclear Blast Records) Progressive Power metal. This cd seems to be a mixture of Manowar themes, and some Savatage sounds making me think this cd could have been easily released 15 years ago. IF you would like to...
