BRATMOBILE- Girls Get Busy (Lookout)
Catchy 50's influenced pop punk by this all female band. The music is
good, but it lacks that certain "umph" felt/heard by other
female pop punk bands, i.e. The Donnas, The Eyeliners, Fabulous
Disaster...-Denis Sheehan
BULLETS OF ORANGE (Band
Site) Think of U2 circa 1986, then transplant them to 2002, but not
like the 2002 U2. I know, doesn't make sense, but that's the best my brain
can do. Not a bad cd by any means, just not the stuff I like or get in to.
- Denis Sheehan
COLD MEMORY- Damage/No Damage (RevUp)
Fairly catchy pop rock with just enough nuts to keep it from sucking ass,
but not enough to warrant wasting my time writing a full review.- Fiona
Skarsgard
THE FARTZ- Injustice (Alternative
Tentacles) Injustice gives you fifteen hard core punk rock tunes.
These guys have been around forever, but they sure as shyt haven't lost a
step. Since the vocals are impossible to understand and there is no lyric
sheet, have no idea what the songs are about. However, I know they are
very political in nature. Albeit hard, all the songs tend to sound the
same. - Denis Sheehan
THE GAMITS - A Small Price to Pay (Suburban
Home) - It's poppy. It's punky. It's pop-punk! I have a hard time
saying any more about this band. The songs are about stuff and the music's
got some melodies. But maybe the one note worthy point that's worth
mentioning is that the singers voice is slightly more snottier than most
bands of this genre, but it's still all squeaky and whinny, so don't get
your hopes up to much. The guys in the band aren't even that cute so I
don't think they'll ever make it. - Denez McAdoo
THE HANGMAN- We Have Blood on the Toes of Our Boots (Acetate)
Pretty cool sounding live rock cd. However, my cd stopped working after
three songs. From what I heard, I really liked this cd. There are sixteen
songs in all. - Denis Sheehan
MONEEN- The Theory of Harmonial Value (Small
Man) Interesting bit of the emo, which is a hard thing to pull off.
The innovation on this disk is as palatable as it is amazing. Poetic and
intelligent, there is a concept at work here and four guys who genuinely
love the music behind it. Moneen is a fairly new band and if this is their
first full length, then they are truly someone to watch out for. A live
show has to be an experience. -David Morgan
NERF HERDER- American Cheese (Honest
Don's) Thirteen lyrically goofy, while musically catchy trademark Nerf
Herder sound. I've always thought of Nerf Herder as being like The Dead
Milkmen, only more pleasing to the ears. Mostly due to my agreement with
the content, my favorite song is "Jenna Bush Army." Yes, Jenna
is a fox. I really do like Nerf Herder's sound, and this cd is no
different, but the goofy lyrics tend to grow old quickly. - Fiona
Skarsgard
OZMA- The Doubble Donkey Disc (Kung
Fu) This cd is a collection of two previously released eps; "The
Russian Coldfusion EP" and "The Bootytraps EP." Ozma
recently toured with and opened for Weezer, good thing, they sound just
like them. Goofy, yet competent, poppy/sappy punk. - Fiona Skarsgard
