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...

Coin – Architects of Character – CD (Anal Log Recordings) The quirkiness of 80’s arcade synth meshed with rayovac femininity, Coin is definitely what one would call a little different. This is the music that every movie about the future should have in...

Dark Fantastic – Goodbye Crooked Scar – CD (Up Records) For some reason I was expecting a sound similar of Bauhaus, Nick Cave or even the Swans. I guess it mostly had to do with the name of the group. While the music and vocals are deep and somewhat...

Hoover’s G – String-Gargle – CD (Red Tide Records) This band plays alternative music that has a twangy feel about it, or I guess I could say this band plays twangy music with an alternative feel about it. The only music reference I could give it is...

Irreversible Slacks! – The Irreversible Slacks! – CD This is like a transport to the early days of rock and roll with some rockin’ instrumentals and slower surf influenced tracks. The go the distance with the look, sound and image. There aren’t many bands...
