Bastille – Bad Blood – CD (Virgin Records) Like many others I became aware of Bastille due to their infectious hit “Pompeii” with its great driving rhythm, haunting vocal lines and unique instrumentation structure. As I dug deeper into this indie electronic...

Bellerouche – Best of Bellerouche – CD (Tru Thoughts) Bellerouche is an artist who came into my sphere of notice when I caught the electro-swing bug early this year. This best of collection is a great introduction to the trip-hop / soul / electro swing of...

Birdwatchers of America – There Have Been Sightings – CD (Raise Giant Frogs Records) Taking full advantage of their name they inject sound clips regarding birdwatching between tracks. The music isn’t bad, just some good straight ahead rock with a bit...

Brassy – Got It Made – CD (Wiiija Records) Fresh, Fun, Funky! Brassy is a hot! The spoken/sung words work perfectly with the ever-changing palette of the DJ. ”Nervous” a raucous rock song is a nice change to keep this 17-song disc from...

Betty Blowtorch – Are You Man Enough? – CD (Food Chain Records) Betty Blowtorch kicks mother fuckin’ ass. This band is made up of four foul-mouthed, power-tool-crazy rock and roll hussies who will fix your car then hump you on top of it. I haven’t heard an...

Bratmobile – Ladies, Women & Girls – CD (Lookout Records) This band was one of the first riot grrrl bands that I heard of back in the early 90’s. Their new songs sound pretty much the same as they did back then, but now they have keyboards at...

Bitch and Animal – Eternally Hard – CD (Righteous Babe Records) This is the second release on Righteous Babe that doesn’t feature Ani Difranco. With song titles like “Best Cock on the Block” and “Sparkly Queen Areola” You’d almost mistake this for cock...

Brotherhood of Lazy American Workers – CD (Thirsty Ear) Speedy sing along punk, lots of “whoa whoas” which I always enjoy! I like to get stuff like this just to remind me that there still is an underground out there. These guys have a good tough...

Blackmore’s Night – Fires at Midnight – CD (SPV GmbH) This is one of those pleasant surprises CD’s. When I first got it I thought it was going to be either a cheesy gothic release or a Rainbow cover band. What I got was a beautiful combination of...

Brotzmann, Caspar – Mute Massaker – CD (Trauma Records) Instrumental release full of guitar noise. This is actually worse than the Vinnie Vincent Invasion guitar stuff, which I despised in the ‘80s. {Jeni} (2001)

Big Bad VooDoo Daddy – This Beautiful Life – CD (Interscope Records) This is one of the big five swing bands of the 90’s. I would compare them closest to Royal Crown Review since they have that traditional sound. Some great swingin’ tunes for all you hep...

Big Wig – An Invitation to Tragedy – CD (Fearless Records) At first these guys sounded like good, but typical melodic hardcore. On one track “Hope” they sounded a bit like Fifteen and on a few others they moved into the Avail realm. Overall though they...
