Label: Sympathy for the Record Industry Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 Tuuli, I don’t know what it means, although I do have a vague recollection of some ancient goddess of something or other with a similar spelling. If they are related, it’s in name only. These girls have the look of everything that “Josie […]

The Supersuckers: The Evil Powers of Rock and Roll Label: Koch Release Date: 1999 Review Date: 2001 The Supersuckers are the hardest working ne’er do wells in punk rock and roll. The Evil Powers of Rock and Roll carries on the Supersuckers’ traditiona of humor, bravado and self-deprecating swagger. Like most Supersuckers efforts, EPoRnR is […]

If you’ve bought one Ramones record, you’ve probably bought a lot of them. Sometimes you’ve had to buy the same record more than once because people borrow and steal them. Then CD’s came out and you had to buy imports because that was the only way you could get the earlier records until the multi […]

Tommy Guerrero is also a musician of sorts. A Little Bit of Somethin’ is an unassuming low budget release full of groovy low-fi trip-hop, ambient, soundtrack-type tunes with plenty of flow. This kind of thing isn’t usually my bag, but I dig the soundtrack to “High Art,” and so should you. There may not be […]

Gaza Strippers: 1000 Watt Confessions Label: Lookout Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 Rick Sims defies anyone to accurately describe the sound of the Gaza Strippers. Nuts to you Rick, I’m going to try anyway. Did you groove on the Didjits? Imagine if the Didjits hadn’t burned out. That’s not really a description. OK, heavy […]

Push ‘n Shove is another smooth installment of rocksteady Jamaican roots music. Don’t say “Ska” because you won’t be getting the picture. Push ‘n Shove picks up where Right on Time left off, with 14 tracks of island beats and horn sections. Each Hepcat release is more polished than the previous. Push ‘n Shove is […]

Label: Hopeless Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 I haven’t been this excited about a new band and a record since Smogtown came out with Fuhrers of the New Wave. From the opening few seconds of Triple Americana, you know it’s going to be good. The name may be reminiscent of an English football club, […]

Deal’s Gone Bad: Overboard Label: Jump Up Release Date: 1999 Review Date: 2001 Sadly, as I write this, they may have already folded or undergone a massive line up change. DGB typically has close to ten people on stage in keeping with the standards of the genre. “Finest Quality Reggae and Ska” is their tagline, […]

Radon: Radon Label: No Idea Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 I’m Late to the Radon party. They appear to be from Florida and that’s about all I know. I got a copy of this CD from a friend, and I have to say that I wasn’t very impressed at first. But as I sat […]

Hudson Falcons: Desperation and Revolution Label: Street Anthem Records Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 I was impressed by this release on 1st listen. It is what The Dropkick Murphys would sound like if they were good, and they sang about something other than drinking and fighting. Good oi!’ punk rock songs with politically charged […]
