Reviews: Film & Video, Rock and Roll

Hey, it’s fucking great! Here’s an attempt at a review. Do you want more? We Jam Econo: the story of the Minutemen is a great film. If you like the music you’ll probably enjoy this. Lots of performance footage. I never saw them live and was slow to pick up on their music but I […]

The Johns hail from Southern California and they sound like it. Featuring members from Die Hunns, Fuel, The Adz, The Crowd, The Bleeders, The Grabbers, The Pushers & Chester Bennington’s Bucket Of Weenies. Most of those bands I’ve never heard of and since there isn’t nine guys in the Johns I assume they have been […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
