"You Gotta Go There to Come Back" by Stereophonics

"You Gotta Go There to Come Back" by Stereophonics

Stereophonics are one of those bands that are so big in England, they could sell out a soccer stadium with ease, but over here, they're lucky to fill a club. Their fourth album, You Gotta Go There is somewhat of departure for the brit-rock group. Slowly over their last two albums, they've tried... [More]

"Strays" by Janes Addiction

"Strays" by Janes Addiction

13 years. Can you believe it? It's been that long since Ritual de lo Habitual, (the last album from the band that launched the grunge movement just as much as the Pixies did), but for some reason always get forgotten about. Since then though, it's been nothing but disappointment from these guys.... [More]

"Ugly Organ" by Cursive

"Ugly Organ" by Cursive

Released in March, I thought that the Ugly Organ was just a noisy, uneven and forgettable piece of work, hence no review from me when it first came out. But sometimes as a listener, you're not ready to hear something that may be challenging or hard work to listen to; sometimes putting something... [More]

"Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid" by Elefant

"Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid" by Elefant

Elefant is one of those bands that is very simple at first glance, but when taking more and more listens you realize just how powerful they are. Centered around lead singer Diego Garcia's immaculate David Bowie like voice, and James Berrall's driving bass guitar, Elefant are out to lament about lost... [More]

"Friends of Mine" by Adam Green

"Friends of Mine" by Adam Green

Adam Green is one half of the hilarious lo-fi duo the Moldy Peaches. Last year he released his first solo album Garfield, and it pretty much sucked in the way that Beck's early catalog does. But Greens new solo effort does have an Odelay kind of sense where you realize hey! the little bastard do... [More]

"D-D-Don't Stop the Beat" by Junior Senior

"D-D-Don't Stop the Beat" by Junior Senior

Junior Senior are yet another new group from the land of Sweden where all music is good, and every album from there should be praised as the next big thing (see the Hives or Soundtrack of Our Lives, International Noise Conspiracy, Sahara Hotnights, Division of Laura Lee, you get the idea.) The... [More]

"Year of the Rabbit" by Year of the Rabbit

"Year of the Rabbit" by Year of the Rabbit

If the world were a fair place the order of grunge influences would go something like this: Pixies, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees and Failure. Huh? Who the hell is Failure? Exactly. If you had to ask yourself that question, it proves that those guys don't get the credit t... [More]

"10 cent Wings" by Jonatha Brooke

"10 cent Wings" by Jonatha Brooke

Once again I,m going to try to persuade you to purchase another CD by someone you,ve likely never heard of. What,s worse, you,re going to have to order it, you won,t likely find it anywhere between Vegas or Salt Lake. If it weren't for Steve Lemmon, I may never have heard of Jonatha myself, he was...

"Your Body Above Me" by Black Lab

"Your Body Above Me" by Black Lab

Many will argue that Black Lab is in a long line of bands that all sound alike. Well after listening to the album several times, and seeing them live twice, I have news for you, Black Lab has no business being on a list of bands typified by Third Eye Blind. Black Lab has a kind of energy and c... [More]

"Other Songs" by Ron Sexsmith

"Other Songs" by Ron Sexsmith

I'm sure there are a lot of music fans that skim by this section and shake their heads in puzzlement at the strange albums we see fit to review. By it's nature this page is devoted to current releases, most of which, admittedly, are aimed at a younger audience and are mainly of the so called altern... [More]

"Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" by Great Expectati...

"Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" by Great Expectations

Another film, another soundtrack. You know the formula: A handful of well-known bankable names, thrown in with some developing (starving) artists, mix it all together, sell a million copies, everybody goes home smiling. Okay then, from the top. Tori Amos, still in peak form and again demonstrat... [More]

"Love Songs For Underdogs" by Tanya Donelly

"Love Songs For Underdogs" by Tanya Donelly

Underdogs is Tanya's third Post Throwing Muses/Breeders release, and though it's been out for several months, if you blinked you missed it. She must've somehow offended the powers that be, because she gets no airplay, or MTV, so I guess it's up to me to tell you about Tanya. Cast in a fairly min... [More]

"Yield" by Pearl Jam

"Yield" by Pearl Jam

Eddie Vedder and the boys are back with what I refer to as a third listen record. In other words, I didn't know what to think the first time around, but by the third time, I was hooked. As a whole, Yield is much more mild than Pearl Jam's earlier records. Although it does offer a couple of hard... [More]

"Transmission" by Gay Dad

"Transmission" by Gay Dad

One of the better albums of 2001 will finally sees the light of day here in the U.S. on April 23rd. Gay Dad, whose last album Leisure Noise sounded a lot like the red-headed stepchild of Radiohead, returns as the blonde-haired blue eyed offspring of another great British band Supergrass. As forgetta... [More]

"Beauty Sleep" by Tanya Donelly

"Beauty Sleep" by Tanya Donelly

Tanya is the real deal, though her creative output has been scant over the past several years (due mostly to taking time off to have a child and start a family) Beauty Sleep once again proves to me that she is the most gifted and savvy woman in Rock. She first surfaced in the critically praised band... [More]
