Transplants: Transplants Label: Hellcat Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 Just when you thought you’d seen it all… Dang, even the venerable Tim Armstrong wants to cash in on frat-rap. This is another Rancid flavored project that Armstrong started after messing around with some computers and popular culture. Essentially, Armstrong wrote, played, programmed everything. Then […]

Electric Six: Fire Label: Beggars XL Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 2003 Imagine a crazy world where Kiss made disco songs… Oh wait, that already happened in this dimension.

These guys have been around since 1991, and that hasn’t stopped them from learning how to crank out generic punk influenced schlock that the industry is now calling post-hardcore. […]

Plus the guys on the cover look snotty and vaguely reminiscent of The Living End. My first reaction when it became time to write the […]

Ex Models: Zoo Psychology Label: FrenchKiss Release Date: 2002 Review Date: 2003 This CD arrived unsolicited and without explanation. The cover alternately bored and annoyed me, but hey, I’ll take the time to listen to anything that someone sends me. The first 30 seconds of “Fuck to the Music” had me intrigued, and although it […]

Brassy: Gettin Wise Label: Wiiija Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 2003 Got it Made is pretty good at first but after a while it gets to be redundant, too many “oh yeahs” and “uh huhs” plus a front woman who had obviously not fallen far from the family tree. That’s ok, because even John Spencer […]
