17-Jun-2006Manda and the Marbles
“More Seduction” Go Kart Records $$$$$ Manda and the Marbles is remarkable! There are many female fronted bands out there that miss the mark but this band hits the bullseye. Manda has a voice with the right combination of huskiness and girliness. With influences such as Joan Jett and The Go-Gos, Manda and the MarblesRead More…

04-Apr-2006Stavesacre
“Stavesacre” Nitro Records $$$$ My first impression of Stavesacre upon listening to their newest release was that they sound like a cross between Tool and Soundgarden. They make it work.

15-Mar-2006Majandra Delfino
“The Sicks” 10/2001 Dripfeed Records $$$$ There’s an embarrassing history of Hollywood actors attempting to be singers. With a grimace I can recall hearing the albums by David Hasselhoff, Joey Lawrence and Edward Furlong (especially Eddie’s version of The Door’s “People Are Strange” * shudder*). Perhaps eliminating the requirement for actors to sing and danceRead More…

05-Mar-2006Sixty Six Kicks
“Self Titled” $$$ Sixty Six Kicks is a glam punk band from Toronto that has an 80’s pop rock feel to it. Think The Cars with female vocals. The song “Girl to Go” has driving guitar riffs and a sparkly metallic feel to it while “Radio” has glossy pop rock sounds to it. Their liveRead More…

27-Feb-2006The Distillers
Sing, Sing, Death House $$$$ After the debut of they’re self titled album in April of 2000, I thought they couldn’t get any better but they did. To quote an interview with Brody I once read in Juice that was written by Robin Fleming “The Distillers are a punk rock chemist’s proudest batch of hooch.”Read More…

11-Feb-2006No Use for a Name
Hard Rock Bottom Fat Wreck Chords $$$ It is surprising that someone would open up with a slow song. The opening song, “Feels like Home”, the song starts out kind of mellow and then quickly jumps into “International You Day” which is just a kick ass song. Man, forget about reading this review. Just goRead More…

01-Feb-2006The Future Sound of London
“The Isness” Hypnotic Records $$$$ Are words like glockenspiel, sitar and tablas like a foreign language to you? If so, they are probably instruments you have never heard of and surely never heard. On The Future Sound of London’s new release, you have the opportunity to hear them all. When I listened to this cd,Read More…

29-Oct-2002Kasey Chambers
Barricades and Brickwalls Warner Brothers Records $$$$ Kasey Chambers may be considered Alt Country, however this Australian has more true country soul than most chart topping country musicians today. It would seem that this Alt. Country movement should be a move away from the typical country sound, but in reality its turning away from theRead More…
