F**Bomb F**Bomb – 7″ (Your Best Friend Records) This reminds me quite a bit of Stiff Little Fingers with early Micheal Stipe style vocals (i.e. muted and slurred)and it has a great low budget indie feel to the recording. They seem like a great band to see...

Icos – At the Speed of Life – CD (Mercury Records) Well, I reviewed their last album in MRZ #8 and since they’ve been signed to a major. However, I don’t think it’s had much of an effect on them either positive or negative. All I can...

Monster Magnet – Powertrip – CD (A&M Records) The first song on this release brought to mind the MC5, the Cult and the New York Dolls, however, the rest of the songs reminded me of Soundgarden. The album is good but I can’t see it being much more...

Second Coming – Second Coming – CD (Capitol Records) Well, the vocals remind me of Chris Cornell, but the music is a bit more on the metal side than Soundgarden and they throw in some industrial elements ala White Zombie. It doesn’t really do much...
