No smoke and mirrors for Kittens for Christian, just Rock and Roll stripped to its center.  This band mixes pure instinct and panic with lamentful melodies, gripping you by the stomach and making you feel every note, harmony and plea for understanding.  Kittens for Christian bleeds for their craft and they want you to know it.

Rein Sanction Biography

by Bradley Torreano

Few bands have been haunted by a musical comparison as much as Jacksonville, FL's Rein Sanction. Virtually no review or article related to them can go by without pointing out the similarities between themselves and Dinosaur Jr. They both make the same brand of sludge pop, but this trio managed to stay a band effort, unlike J. Mascis' monopolization of Dinosaur Jr. Formed in the late '80s, the band was made up of guitarist Mark Gentry, bassist Ian Chase, and drummer Brannon Gentry. They released Broc's Cabin, produced by Shimmy Disc honcho Kramer, on Sub Pop Records in 1991. Although Sub Pop became a real hotbed for music around this time, the band could not seem to capitalize on it. A second album, Mariposa, was produced by infamous grunge producer Jack Endino in 1992, but again they failed to make a dent in the music scene. On top of it all, critics were quite cruel in their Dinosaur Jr. comparisons, claiming the group was unoriginal and uninspired. The band took time off, only to resurface in 1996 with Blue Men on Souldier Records and a backing tour.

SPIREA X Fireblade Skies 1992

Spirea X Biography

by Andy Kellman

Spirea X was a short-lived dream pop/noise pop act on the 4AD label, spearheaded by ex-Primal Scream member Jim Beattie. The other members of the group were Judith Boyle and Andrew Kerr. In 1991, the group released the Chlorine Dream and Speed Reaction singles, along with the full-length Fireblade Skies. Combining sweet vocal melodies with alternately noisy and blurry bursts of guitars and dance beats, the record was definitely up on the then-current sound of the U.K., but it failed to make much of an impression with consumers and cynical tastemakers. Spirea X vanished without a trace, but Beattie and Boyle -- along with former Spirea X manager Simon Dine -- would later form Adventures in Stereo.

ANCIENT CHINESE SECRET Caveat Emptor 1999

 

Discogs

 

Caveat Emptor Review

by Mike DaRonco

For a label that normally puts out either blazing power-violence or ultra-torturing sludge-core, Ancient Chinese Secret is a definite stand-out for Slap-a-Ham's entire back catalog. There are a couple reasons for this: for one, the minimal line-up consists of Spazz's Chris Dodge on bass, his wife Lydia on vocals and a drummer completing the line up, that's it. Second of all, there's not once ounce of metal or a trace of heaviness for that matter. Rather, ACS has more of an off-beat, quirky but non-threatening appeal to them. This is in part thanks to the lack of distortion and Lydia's ability to talk loudly into the mic rather than scream at the top of her lungs. Not to say that Caveat Emptor is bad or anything; on top of all this, the occasional tape loop samples -with the last track mixing a slew of cartoon sound effects-and speed metal drumming give this album its own uniqueness. Playful, but not to the point of being wholesome family entertainment.

Why Do You Touch Things That Aren't Yours? Review

by Ned Raggett 

With a fair amount of the Shrimper Inland Empire scene appearing somewhere on this entertaining record -- guests include such stalwarts as Peter Hughes and co-producer Bob Durkee -- the merry five-piece that is, or rather was, Big Breakfast comes up with an album that defies many '90s indie stereotypes. The sound is crisp, not restrained or fuzzy, the playing sharp, and the end result is a nicely aggro treat that's as friendly as it is forceful, much more a product of various '80s new wave/alt roots than the era of home tape recordings. Lisa Kuta is a perfect frontwoman for the whole thing, with lyrics that are guardedly emotional and sung that way -- warm but wary and all the more striking for it, not afraid to let go a bit here and there. The rhythm section of Steve Cronk and Chris Damore works especially well, dictating the feel of the songs along with Kuta more than anything else. Elsewhere, as Kuta sings at one point, "His solos are never crap/I have a friend named Kevin Trapp." Indeed, besides his wry, not-quite-there singing style, Trapp pulls off some great guitar work, steering well away from post-grunge sludge in favor of far more intriguing gods like the Go-Betweens and New Order as templates. When he does fire up the feedback, he only does so for just enough impact. Add in Bill Magdriagz's keyboards for extra dollops of sound (check his fun melody on "Continuation High School Love Affair") and all is very well. Other highlights: the soaring statement of intent that is "Googlephonics," the merry "J. Curve," and the very in-joke-worthy "El Slobbo de Mosso." There are also some state-of-the-art '90s pop-culture references very intentionally played for laughs, thus the introductory lyrics of "Primordial Maracas" as sung by Trapp: "Me llamo Cornholio/I need TP for my bunghole."
