Pistolero: Pistolero Label: Sign of the Devil Release Date: 1999 Review Date: 2003 I’m not sure what point there is in reviewing a cd by a band that isn’t around. Especially considering that they didn’t put a mailing address on the disc, so you couldn’t get it if you wanted it. Also, I blame John […]

Label: Teanbeat Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 The Rondelles are a fabulous disaster. They are wonderfully crappy. The first time I saw them I almost walked out in the middle of the show. It was like seeing a bunch of high school kids. Something about their attitude and the atmosphere of the dive they […]

The Bobbyteens: Not So Sweet Label: Estrus Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 Whew! I knew I’d like this band from the first time I saw them mentioned in Thrasher. I love girl groups, and I especially love girl groups who are brash and in your face like The Donnas try to be. The Bobbyteens […]

Chixdiggit!: From Scene to Shining Scene Label: Honest Don’s Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 I bought this CD solely on the cover: a duotone of a headless guitar player, legs spread, cranking out some power chords on a stickered up Rickenbacker. Very Ramonesesque. Guess what? I made a great buy! The music is exactly […]

Subsonics: Follow Me Down Label: Get Hip Release Date: 1997 Review Date: 2000 First off, Subsonics are not to be confused with the lameness that currently calls itself “the Supersonics.” I took a chance on Subsonics and went to see them live based solely on a photograph in the paper. The combination of the shot […]

Deadbolt: Voodoo Trucker Label: Cargo Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2000 The latest release from the self proclaimed “Scariest band in the world.” Like some of their previous albums, Voodoo Trucker has a theme. The unsavory band of cuthroats have stowed away on a tramp steamer leaving the tiki-zulu death masks on the dark continent […]
