Ultimate Fakebook – This Will Be Laughing Week – CD (Sony) Squeeze for the punk-pop generation? It could very well be. I guess it’s just the vocals, but damn if this doesn’t bring Squeeze to mind, along with the oh so catchy punk-pop rhythms. I caught...

Under the Sun – Under the Sun – CD (Magna Carta Records) Under the Sun is the War and Peace of progressive rocks for the sheer length of this epic piece that charts a journey into self-actualization. Yes, this is another progressive rock release that...

United – Distorted Vision – CD (Howling Bull America) Another Japanese metal / thrash CD release. You just gotta love the Japanese accent when they sing death or thrash metal. A very heavy and aggressive release for a Japanese band. I hope the kids in...

Unwound – Leaves Turn Inside You – CD (Kill Rock Stars) Laid back alternative with soft vocals and guitars that float over steady rhythms. I caught myself being drawn into their web more than once while listening to this fine release. Another great plug...

U.S. Crush-U.S. Crush – CD (Immortal Records) Take a pop/power punk sound, add irresistible harmonies, a heavily radio-friendly element, and you’d have a damn good band. Pour a jug of Clorox over it, and then you’d have U.S. Crush. This self-titled...

UsherHouse – UsherHouse – demo tape (Lens Records) I like this very much! It has an old school Gothic feel to it. Reminds me of early Bauhaus, Tones On Tail, Roz William’s Christian Death, even Dead Can Dance. This tape contains a song called...

U.S. Maple – “Talker” – CD (Drag City) Devo began the de-evolution of music back in the eighties. Here in 1999 U.S. Maple has achieved perfect and precise deconstruction. Precise and calculated compositional entropy and random, flourishing guitar squeals...

U.K. Subs – Left For Dead – CD Another re-issue from “Roir”. This time it’s a live album by the UK Subs. The UK Subs always seemed to be one of those other bands that came on during the 76/77 punk outbreak with the Damned, X, The Strangles, The Clash, The...

Unruh – Setting Fire to Sinking Ships – CD (Pessimiser Records) Mellow acoustic and piano music for about 50 seconds that quickly turns into all-out insanity. Speeding guitars, guttural growls and screams from hell. Speed metal/ Black metal/ Death metal...

U.S. Bombs – The World – CD (Epitaph Records) This release can be best described as late 70′s influenced anthem punk. This band reminded me of post-Johnny Rotten Sex Pistols as can be heard on the soundtrack for The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll...
