Label: Disaster Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 Fear meets the Undertones. Fuhrers of the New Wave is one of those albums that hits hard. Like a sack of hippies hitting the river, Smogtown delivers the goods. You hit play, recognize the “Repo Man” sample, and you know you’re in the right place. “I am […]

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 […]

Kittie: Spit Label: Artemis Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 When are we going to get over our fascination with girls in hard rock bands? With all of the press about Kittie, “Spit” has a lot to live up to. They’re a group of young, empowered girls who rock hard in a male dominated industry. […]

Add n to X: On the Wires of Our Nerves Label: Sattelite Release Date: 1998 Review Date: 2001 Add n to x. Good name. Math = Science = Synthesizer. Album release date = 1998. Why am I bothering to review this record at such a late date? My limited income and shelf space means that […]

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 […]

The Daggers: Lock Up Your Daughters Label: Unity Squad Release Date: 2000 Review Date: 2001 Lock up your CD player more like! I’m as big a sucker for snotty 77 New York punk as the next guy, probably bigger, but there has to be some meat behind the guitar solos and Johannsenesque vocals, and there […]

From Richmond VA comes the Clash meets Rancid assault of Ann Beretta on this 14 track masterpiece. Mid paced, energy charged PUNK ROCK with melodies to spare, shout-along choruses etc. God this is good! Songs about the state of the punk scene, relationships, personal politics, but all done with intelligence, and more importantly, with fucking […]

Fine, old fashioned snotty punk rock in the vein of The Dead Boys. Has a real 78 New York feel, coupled with today’s hardcore speed. Funny that they come from Cleveland! Offensive in the best punk rock way! Good tunes, singalong choruses. They’ve done their homework and have nailed that sound, but they have the […]

Nashville Pussy: Let Them Eat Pussy Label: Uni/Mercury Release Date: 1998 Review Date: 2000 One trick pony. That’s all you need to know. Yes, the title is funny. Yes, the chicks in the band are scantily clad, and sometimes you can see their tits. Yes, one of them has an excellent tattoo on her belly […]
