Betty Already – Amerimaniacs – CD (Fly Lyla Records) From the get go I could tell that the band X is a big influence for this band. The combo of the male and female vocals on the tracks throughout this release have John Doe/Excene written all over...

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)

F**bomb – Self titled – CD (Groundswell Records) The one thing I loved about this disc is that no two songs sound the same. Each track has it’s own uniqueness, in other words they didn’t just pick a sound and run with it. From rockabilly to modern...

Fockewolf – Die Toten Weg – CD (ADSR Musicwerks) An excellent up-and-coming Goth / Darkwave / EBM act, Fockewolf is the Siamese twin sister of label mates Noxious Emotion out of Seattle. Both bands share members, and I had the pleasure of meeting them all...

G.T. Arpe – Drum and Drum – CD (Tape & CD Records) Home recorded noise mixture that I guess tries to be artsy, but comes off as nothing more than annoying. {Mite} (2001)

The Hives – Veni Vidi Vicious – CD (Burning Heart Records) Garage crazed Swedes, shit are there any non-garage crazed Swedes?!! More Nomads than Hellacopters This stuff reminds me of something that could have come out on Estrus. Just your basic garage...
