Apr 26, 2003 PMR + 1 by The Damnwells (Review) All in all, the Damnwells give evidence that they’re inching towards something vaguely interesting
Apr 26, 2003 Misery Loves Harmony by The Vegas Nerve (Review) Yep, there are a lot of other bands doing this but the Vegas Nerve do it pretty well.
Apr 26, 2003 For Ramona by Los Halos (Review) Los Halos is a perfect name for this band as they sing about love, angels, dreams, space, and clouds.
Apr 25, 2003 Muein/Swan/A Golden Epiphany by Caul (Review) Recent days have seen the release of a trio of Caul titles (one of which is a three disc collection itself), with more on the way.
Apr 20, 2003 Rolled Gold by The Action (Review) This CD is actually a collection of demos that The Action were shopping to labels in the zeitgeist of 1967.
Apr 20, 2003 Sement #2 by Various Artists (Review) Osito has done the hard task of balancing variety with quality, and somehow manages to excel at both.
Apr 20, 2003 It’s a Sin by The Blackstone Valley Sinners (Review) Though the Sinners are certainly far from being country in the traditional sense, they’re certainly not alt-country in the accepted sense.
Apr 20, 2003 The Good Night by Victory At Sea (Review) It could be that Victory at Sea’s music simply doesn’t lend it itself well to being timeless or inventive enough to make a person want to buy all of their albums.
Apr 20, 2003 Trading My Life by Liar’s Academy (Review) The EP is short and rightly so as the songs are not meant to be delved into and dissected with further listens.
Apr 20, 2003 KingsQueens by Wayne Everett (Review) Good stuff, but it just doesn’t reach the dizzying heights attained by Everett’s own work with The Lassie Foundation.
Apr 20, 2003 Quietude by Joyful Sorrow (Review) A heartfelt honesty pervades this album and these songs leave an impression that belies their delicate nature.
Apr 20, 2003 Plays One Sound and Others by Knife In The Water (Review) Knife in the Water’s rare gift for blending the grotesque and the lovely makes their music worth tracking down.
Apr 12, 2003 Illuminated Audio by Gigi (Review) At its best, the album offers seductive, enticing glimpses into another world of sound.
Apr 12, 2003 Televise by Calla (Review) Calla transcend their obvious sources while still giving them a nod.
Apr 12, 2003 This Sad Movie by Con Dolore (Review) If there was ever an example of “too much of a good thing,” it would This Sad Movie.
Apr 12, 2003 Holopaw by Holopaw (Review) From the start, John Orth’s songwriting is notable for its strangely cryptic and elliptical verse.
Apr 12, 2003 No Silver/No Gold by The Baptist Generals (Review) This new album contains all of the same elements that made the debut so great, but that palpable energy seems lacking.
Apr 12, 2003 The Cutting Room Floor by Over The Rhine (Review) This is a band that simply does not write bad songs. Ever.
