Third World – Ultimate Collection – CD (Universal Music) This band is kinda weird in that it’s basically a reggae/pop/R&B band, or that’s at least what they sound like. The overall sound is mellow. They do have a few songs that I just couldn’t stand...

Tora! Tora! Torrance! – Get Into It – CD (The Militia Group) Damn this guy’s voice is winey! I was hoping he would get into more of a Cupid Car Club sound, but no such luck. I can’t friggin stand it. Why won’t he fuckin shut up? Why? Why? WHY!?! I know...

Tsunami Bomb – The Invasion from Within! – CD (Tomato Head Records) Oh yeah. Damn, why haven’t I heard of this band before? On my initial listen I thought to myself that this band sounds like a more rockin’ No Doubt. I then thought that I better not put...

Traffic-Feelin’ Alright: The Very Best of Traffic – CD (Island Records) Another best of release that features Traffic. You might not have heard of Traffic, but they were fronted by a young Steve Windwood, who is one of my favorite musicians. Their biggest hit...

Tuffy – Permanent For Now – CD (Loveless Records) This is a poppy alternative band whose sound is just okay. That’s it. Nothing really stood out, but nothing really sucked either, so all I can really say is that it’s okay. {Mite}...

David Thomas and Two Pale Boys – Surf’s Up! – CD (Thirsty Ear Recordings) Even though I never really listened too much of Pere Ubu, the distinct vocals of David Thomas just stand out. Don’t be mislead by the title, this is not a surf rock album....

Transmatic – Transmatic – CD (Immortal Records) Nice—a cross between Verticle Horizon and Creed, but not as overproduced. Strong male vocals, which are somewhat reminiscent of Crash Test Dummies. They get extra points for actually using “guided by voices”...

William Topley – William Topley – CD (Lost Highway / Universal) Hmmm. I don’t really know what to think of William Topley. At first I thought he was a standard blues musician with a bit of southern rock bubbling up to the surface. Then he hit a track that...
