John Holmstrom (Editor) Trans-High Corporation Copyright Date: Review Date: 2002 You’ve heard about it, you read about it, now get your mits on the real thing. The orignal zine that coined the term “punk rock” with a capital P! Cool. Worth picking up if you ever put out a zine or ever called yourself a […]

Jim Bessman, in association with the Ramones St Martin’s Press New York 1993 Copyright Date: Review Date: 2002 An early review of the Ramones once said “The Ramones don’t waste their time, they waste yours.” That pretty much sets the tone for this book. The Ramones are one of the greatest under-appreciated bands of the […]

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 […]

GreyArea: Fanbelt Algebra Label: Victory Records Release Date:2000 Review Date: 2000 Another strong outing from GreyArea here, following their fine 1998 debut. This one isn’t quite as intense, even throwing an acoustic guitar in the mix every once in awhile. I particularly like the bass playing. The bass often takes the lead in the melodies […]

Vision: Watching the World Burn Label: Epitaph Release Date:2000 Review Date: 2000 The latest from Vision is a blistering CD. Fast and hard but still melodic. Like Toxic Reasons 10 years on. If the opening track, a call-to-arms called “Close Minded” doesn’t grab you by the balls immediately, then you aren’t going to like any […]
