Various: Power for Passion Label: Dionysus Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 9/16/05 Power for Passion is subtitled “file under power pop 1978-85.” As compilations go, this one is pretty darn good. Originally this review was to be written by my friend Shane who is Mr. Power Pop. The first thing he did was grouse about […]

The Dogs: Suburban Nightmare Label: Dionysus Records Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 9/15/05 The same Dogs that did A Younger Point of View. (Can you tell where I’m getting my Dogs education?) Suburban Nightmare features the original Dogs lineup in it’s entirety. Musically, Suburban Nightmare sounds like a lot of MC5/Stooges inspired Detroit-style grunge being […]

The Mothers Anger: The Mothers Anger Label: Dionysus Records Release Date: 2004 Review Date: 9/15/05 Ok. Your mental image of a two piece rock band from Israel calls to mind Nirvana, right? No shit! Think of a mixture of Bleach and Nevermind era Nirvana. It’s usually a bad sign when you hear another band being […]

Peachfuzz: About a Bird Label: Dionysus Records Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 9/15/05 This is the third record from the LA based band Peachfuzz. I can’t vouch for the first two, but About a Bird is a highly enjoyable surprise. Peachfuzz is a mix of 70’s powerpop and 60’s psychedelica. While not exactly derivative, they […]

The Gimmies: Phonic Souls Label: Dionysus Records Release Date: Review Date: 4/12/05 Man this is a weird one. Like most Japanese bands obsessed with any particular element of foreign pop culture, they have nailed this genre down. It’s garage rawk and roll. Your ears won’t even be able to tell that these guys are from […]

Various: Just Go Destroy Everything In Sight! Label: Dionysus Records Release Date: 2005 Review Date: 4/12/05 Every once in a while a compilation comes out that becomes the definitive example of a particular scene, a snapshot that gets pulled out every so often through the years and instantly transports you to another time and place. […]

Les Terribles: Les Terribles Label: Dionysus Records Release Date: 2005 Review Date: 4/11/05 Les Terribles are a French band specializing in 1960’s garage-y pop. A lazy comparison to Stereo Total would be appropriate if Stereo Total stuck to traditional instruments and old pop songs. Yeah, that’s lazy. The tunes on Les Terribles all sound like […]

Naz Nomad & the Nightmares: Give Daddy the Knife Cindy Label: Dionysus Records Re-Release Date: 2004 Original Release Date: 1984 Review Date: 4/18/05 From the label that collects stuff that might otherwise slip through the cracks, I give you this re-release of the Damned posing as a 60’s era garage/psychedelic band. Although some may say […]
