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...

Canned Heat 1967-1976 – The Boogie House Tapes – CD (Rockalachian Records) Twenty-nine tracks on two discs of nothing but good old-fashioned blues-rock, or Boogie as Canned Heat likes to call it. According to legend, The Boogie House is the home of radio...

Confrontation Camp – Objects in the Mirror Are Closer than They Appear – CD (Artemis Records) This is one of those rap-rock combinations, but not in the lame Kid Rock or Limp Biscuit way. This is more in tune with Ice-T’s Body Count or going way back to...

Dashboard Confessional – The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most – CD (Vagrant Records) This is one of those bands that I have heard of, but have never heard before. Man was I missing out. The acoustic guitar fueled mellowness that that radiates though...

Drowningman – Rock And Roll Killing Machine – CD (Revelation Records) Noisy hardcore with a lot of different riffs and changes. They have kind of a dissonant thing going on reminding me of Cop Shoot Cop. The guitar has that Black Flag barely in control...

Fairweather – If They Move… Kill Them – CD (Equal Vision Records) Okay, this will be my second reference to The Barnhills in this issue. The tunes on this release are beautiful pop punk gems with catchy rhythms and killer changes. And yes, I liken their...

Foundation – Foundation – CD (Foundation) Wonderful acoustic driven alternative rock. The vocals remind me of Mr. Billy from Greenday without the slick production. The basic production is one of the things that I really like about this release. What needs...

Grim, DJ Matthew – Hypnotic Journey – CD (Hypnotic Records) Another CD that relies more on the mixing ability and song selection by the DJ who’s mixing it, as opposed to the songs themselves. While sticking to a Progressive House and Trance theme, DJ Grim...

Greg Howard Band-Lift – CD (Espresso Records) Best described as easy listening new age instrumental, this CD is perfect for those who are into Kenny G. {Mite} (2001)

The Jacksonvillains – 1ST – CD (Starfruit Records) This is a very interesting female three piece. The vocals remind me of Juliana Hatfield, and while the music is similar it has a more haunting tone to it almost like a stripped down Camper Van Beethoven....

Kool & The Gang – The Millennium Collection – CD (Mercury Records / Universal) This appeals to my nostalgic side. I remember many of the songs on this collection from when I was first discovering Top 40 radio / pop music back in the mid 80′s. I...
