D Generation: Through the Darkness Label: Columbia Release Date:1999 Review Date: 2000 “Through the Darkness” could easily be the title of the plight of D Generation. In 1994 D Generation released a self titled debut on Chrysalis/EMI records. As is the case with a lot of major label relationships, the record was not as big […]

Buzzcocks: BBC Sessions Label: BBC Music/EMI Recording Date: Release Date:1998 Review Date: 2000 “Oh no!
