The Saps | C'mon Already, Start a Fire Print E-mail
Written by Amanda Pelle   
Sunday, 15 April 2007

cd_sapsFrom the phobia of hospitals to the semi-vacant observations of the "artsy" nature of a porno flick, the Saps deliver their punk-funk message with a tap-your-feet-happy tempo.

At times, weak lyrics and the abundance of clichés are troubling; however, Ramesh's cool voice and the band's tight instrumentation combat lyrical flaws.

cd_shinerAs cool as it is for "Making Love" to see a second life, it is rather disappointing that it does not come with any extras.

 

 

 

 

 
Small Sails | Similar Anniversaries (Other Electricities) Print E-mail

similarIt's primarily instrumental, but with some kind of humming or background vocals on most of the tracks. This gives the album a unique flavor - sort of a mix of French soundtrack music and the lighter side of Chicago post-rock.

 

 

 

 
The Poison Arrows | Straight Into the Drift (File Thirteen) Print E-mail
Written by Kevin Renick   
Sunday, 08 April 2007

poisonGuitars dominate, but in an improvised, Interstellar Overdrive sort of way (in fact, the spirit of early Pink Floyd lurks among the drone and creative percussion of "Clear Cut"), leaving the blazingly off-kilter rhythm section to do oddly interesting things.

 

 

 
Electrelane | “6 Cut And Run” Print E-mail
Written by Joseph O'Fallon   
Sunday, 08 April 2007

electrelaneElectrelane is an all-girl four-piece rock band, and this is their love song. What is immediately catchy is Verity Susman's hopeless tone in her vocals. The failed love and awkward desperation are so relatable, realistic, and accurate, the lyrics read like a diary.

Piss Shit Fuck | Use Your Delusion (Tent City) Print E-mail
Written by Chris Schott   
Tuesday, 27 March 2007

psf The music itself isn't really good by any means, but it makes a statement - probably. It's fast, it's loud, it's, like, "totally hardcore, dude."

feistIn the "Sally's Song" version (which lyrics I prefer) and the album version, teenage boys "too scared to own up to one little lie" confuse Leslie.
