GASLIGHT RADIO Hitch on the Leaves 1998
By request
Review
by Ned Raggett
Practically unheard of outside Gaslight Radio's home continent, Hitch on the Leaves is a wonderful debut album from this quintet, equal parts pretty Cocteau Twins-inspired shoegaze and fragile rock drive. With the lovely chime of "New Estate Dreamboat" starting things off very well, Rory and Martin Cooke's guitars containing all the open-ended ringing one could want, the fivesome merrily make their way from softly melancholy strength to strength. Songs like "Spindlings of the Summer" and the majestic "Rosalie," with its vast sense of space and gentle impact, are sure to make any Chapterhouse, early Verve, or Kitchens of Distinction fan weep with delight that there's at least some bands out there still carrying the flame. Happily, Gaslight Radio don't sound like a cloning of any one group in particular, partially since the group turns from … » Read more

Although this song on YouTube isn't available on the record, it will give you a good idea of Vitapup's sound. Does it sound familiar? Reminds me of Nirvana but hey that's okay! It's a great song!

ANDY STOCHANSKY Radio Fusebox 1999
This guy was the drummer for Ani DiFranco but this isn't Ani DiFranco-like music. I think the first track is the best.
Biography
Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Andy Stochansky spent seven years playing drums for indie rock artist Ani DiFranco before striking out on his own, and many music aficionados identified his name only in relation to that position in the music world. By 2000, however, the pair of solo albums he had to his credit, While You Were Sleeping and Radio Fusebox, helped separate his name from DiFranco's and launch his own career. Stochansky worked on While You Were Sleeping, an independent release in 1995, while he was still affiliated with … » Read more

BIS Action and Drama 7 inch 1999
Biography
Taking inspiration from Huggy Bear, the Nation of Ulysses, Blur, and the "cutie" indie movement of Sarah Records, bis were one of the most unique bands in late-'90s British indie rock. Aggressively primitive, bis spearheaded "the Teen-C Revolution," crossing D.I.Y. aesthetics with the incessant bounce of new wave dance pop, anime and manga imagery, and a childlike outlook. Bursting out from nowhere in early 1996, bis became the first unsigned band to appear on Top of the Pops, and became a sensation within the British music press, with equally passionate positive and negative reviews. However, bis won fans in the Beastie Boys, who signed them to Grand Royal Records, positioning the band to join the ranks of the international pop underground. » Read more

By request
Tristan Psionic was formed in 1992 by Sandy McIntosh (guitar), Michael Milne (guitar) and Tim Potocic in Hamilton, Ontario. When the group made their first cassette, they started their own label: Sonic Unyon (which later went on to sign Hayden, Thrush Hermit, The Dinner Is Ruined, SIANspheric and Chore, among others). Their first full-length, Feves: The Sounds of Tristan Psionic, was released in 1994. The band took a hiatus and concentrated on running their label; bassist Gary "Wool" McMaster quit out of frustration from the lack of activity within the band. By 1996, the trio had replaced McMaster with April Sabucco and had released their second full-length CD, titled TPA Flight 028. Mind the Gap followed in 2000.

GROVER My Wild Life 1996

Grover: My Wild Life
Speaking of Mitch Easter and Let's Active, Grover marks the resurfacing of Let's Active's Angie Carlson, and Mitch himself even produces four of these songs. The others, for another Boston connection, are produced by Kevin Salem, once of the band Dumptruck (and whose solo album Soma City, from last year, I got recently, and really like). And to tie all stray elements together, My Wild Life ironically bears more than a little resemblance to Slip It Under the Door. Angie's dense waves of distortion color what might have been cheery pop songs, and give them an ominous haziness. Angular twists of guitar remind me a little of the Breeders, and Angie's raw, slightly-chirpy, English-accented voice then bends the mood in yet another direction, making Grover sound a little like Elastica without so much Wire in it.
When this works, as it does arrestingly in the raspy bass pulse and airy vocals of "Yeah, I'm Dumb", the This Mortal Coil-like vocal flourishes in "Bend", the jumpy and good-natured bop of "My Wild Life", the frantic verses of "Sweet Thing", the distinctly Big Star-ish "Anesthesia", the snarling (and Sleeper-like) "Superhero", the swirling atmosphere of "Heavy Past" and the twangy Byrds-y chorus of "Damaged Girl", it's quite intriguing and effective, indistinct in a good way, preserving some animating mystery. When it doesn't work, though, it can just sound muddy and strained, as if the music can't quite extricate itself from aural quicksand. Several of these songs, despite the sterling production credits, sound an awful lot like demos, and while this is appealing in some ways, in some ways it also makes me impatient to hear what Grover will be able to do when they really have time to get things right.

Biography
Perhaps the most musically abrasive group in the world of indie rock, Unwound specialize in a dense collection of crushing power chords rising to feedback, melding the noise of Sonic Youth's more raucous passages with a rare energetic flair which rivals even that of Fugazi. Formed in 1991 in a small town close to the indie rock nerve center of Olympia, Washington, Unwound was originally a trio of vocalist/guitarist Justin Trosper, bassist Vern Rumsey, and drummer Brandt Sandeno. The band released two singles for Kill Rock Stars and one for Gravity Records before recording an … » Read more
BANTAM ROOSTER Watch Me Burn 7 inch 1997
Get yer lo-fi rock n roll here!
Biography
Hailing from Michigan's capital city of Lansing, Bantam Rooster's two piece guitar and drum approach pays tribute to the minimal aesthetics of 60's garage rock recorded on duct taped equipment. Gotten together in 1994 after T. Jackson Potter (guitar/ vocals) and Eric Cook (drums) were both experiencing down time from their full-time bands would eventually result in a series of gigs all through the Mid-West before signing with Crypt Records in 1996. With their first 7" EP Miss Luxury released that same year, their first album Deal Me In came out in 1997 followed by a European tour. Upon their return to the states, and another 7" on Ypsilanti's Flying Bomb Records, Bantam Rooster's second album The Cross and The Switchblade came out in 1999; Fuck All Y'All appeared a year later.

Biography
Olympia, Washington-based emo-punks Lync comprised singer/guitarist Sam Jayne, bassist James Bertram and drummer Dave Schneider. Formed in 1992, the trio soon debuted on the Magic Pail label with the single "Pigeons"; their next effort, "Two Feet in Front," appeared on K as part of the label's International Pop Underground series. K also issued Lync's first and last full-length, These Are Not Fall Colors; soon after the album's 1994 release, the band split. (The posthumous singles retrospective Remembering the Fireballs [Part 8] followed in 1997.) Jayne resurfaced in 1996 with the solo project Love as Laughter, debuting with the album The Greks Bring Gifts; for 1997's #1 U.S.A., credited to simply L.A.L., he reunited with fellow Lync alum Schneider, rounding out the lineup with bassist Jessica Espeleta.
HONCHO OVERLOAD Sugarfoot 7 inch 1992
Biography
Indie rock band Honcho Overload was active in the Champaign-Urbana, IL, scene for the first half of the '90s. The group was made up of musicians from previous Champaign-Urbana bands, and consisted of singer Bill Johnson and guitarist Jeff Dimpsey, both of Bad Flannel, guitarist K.C. Driscoll of We Ate Plato, bassist Matt Talbott from We Ate Plato, and Poster Children, and drummer Mike Rader, also of the Poster Children. Guitarist Balthazar de Ley was originally in the band, but left to form the group Mother (which later changed its name to Menthol) before Honcho Overload entered the studios. The band put out two albums -- Smiles Everyone (1993) and Pour Another Drink (1994) -- and two singles on Mud Records before calling it quits in 1995. At the same time that Honcho Overload was active, Dimpsey and Talbott were also in the band Hum, along with de Ley. Following Honcho Overload's breakup, Bill Johnson went on to play in Morning Becomes Electric, Dimpsey continued in Hum and co-founded National Skyline, Talbott remained in Hum and eventually played in Centaur, and Rader joined in the Great Crusades.

Biography
Caligula's unique musical style was produced by a combination of funk bass, heavy metal guitar, hip-hop beats, and keyboards in the tradition of KLF, Pop Will Eat Itself, and Faith No More. Forming in Sydney, Australia, in 1990, the band first released the mini-album Caligula in 1991, which was closely followed by the EP Got One in the same year. Interest was spurred, leading to a series of national tours including support slots for Pop Will Eat Itself in 1992 and Depeche Mode in 1994. Two further EPs were released locally, Bluff in 1992, and I.C.U. (Before) in 1993. The remake of the Smokey Robinson hit "Tears of a Clown" provided their greatest chart success in Australia, peaking at number 25 in February 1994. Caligula continued their musical experimentation with their full-length album, Rubenesque, released in Australia in March 1994.

Biography
Land of the Loops was the alias of Brooklyn-based sonic collagist Alan Sutherland, a veteran of several short-lived bands who turned to quirky electronica after his parents bought him a sampler for college graduation. For Slabco, he recorded a pair of cassettes, Straight Out of Milner and Percival, before scoring an underground hit with the single "Multi-Family Garage Sale," later licensed for a Miller Genuine Draft commercial; Land of the Loops' first full-length effort, the much-acclaimed Bundle of Joy, followed on Up in 1996, trailed a year later by a remix EP, Refried Treats. Sutherland next resurfaced in 1999 with a new EP, Hurry Up and Wait; Puttering About a Small Land followed in mid-2000.

Notes▼
1000 copies pressed, but only 300 still exist as the other 700 were supposedly destroyed when Jeff Ott (Crimpshrine / Fifteen) found out that the money from this benefit 7" wasn't going where it should have gone. (loosecharm.org) the supposed release date there (91 or 92) cannot be right, because the coverdrawing is signed "93'Mr.Mike" (from Discogs)
