Review: Hank 3 – Brothers of the 4×4
If you’re like me and you respect everything Hank 3 does—from the grind metal to his early traditional country work, and everything in between, but you wish he’d focus on making honest-to-goodness country music, a honky-tonk-as-hell kinda record, then this is for you. … read more
Local Reviews: Matthew Quen Nanes
Right in that new folk/punk singer-songwriter niche with a country touch, Nanes can put a tune together. This three-song EP shows a lot of potential. It’s different from a lot of the material I would compare it to, which is a very good thing. … read more

Local Review: Spooky Deville – Breathe Transylvania
Spooky Deville Breathe Transylvania Self-Released Street: 10.2006 Spooky Deville = Graveyard Shift + Conombre Zombi These boys play some decent psychobilly.

Local Review: Red Top Wolverine Show – Sloppy Jalopy
Red Top Wolverine Show Sloppy Jalopy Rev 313 Street:12.05 Red Top Wolverine Show = Rolling Stones + Dead Boys + Model T.
