FIREWORKS Set The World On Fire 1993

 

Discogs

Artist Biography by Steve Huey

Playing skronked-up rockabilly and rock & roll (think Jon Spencer as much as Rev. Horton Heat), Fireworks was formed by Dallas musician Darin Lin Wood after his ejection from another area band; before moving to Texas from New York in 1989, Wood had also played in a very early lineup of Cop Shoot Cop, as well as 68 Comeback and Blacksnakes. The first lineup of Fireworks took shape circa 1993, centered around Wood and Chris Merlick, both of whom sang and played guitar and drums. Merlick left and rejoined the band several times over the group's history; a more permanent incarnation featured Wood's girlfriend, drummer Janet Walker, and guitarist James Arthur. Fireworks' debut full-length, Set the World on Fire, was issued in 1994 by Crypt; Off the Air followed in 1996 on the Au-Go-Go imprint. Wood and Walker had meanwhile formed the side project Blacktop with ex-Gories vocalist Mick Collins, which resulted in the LP I Got a Bad Feelin'. After signing to Last Beat, Fireworks released Lit Up in 1997.

BEN & JASON Emoticons 1999

Discogs 

Artist Biography by AllMusic

The fey acoustic sound favoured by Ben Parker (b. Surrey, England) and Jason Hazeley (b. Essex, England) drew inevitable comparisons to the work of legendary English singer-songwriter, Nick Drake. Hazeley and Parker met while both were working for the same sheet music company. They soon bonded through their mutual love of Drake’s music and their distaste for the day job, but it was several years before the duo began writing songs together. They recorded several tracks during a free recording session at the BBC’s Maida Vale studios, leading to a contract with Go! Beat Records. The duo’s eight-track mini-album Hello was released to great acclaim in early 1999. The opening track, ‘Joe’s Ark’, featured a string arrangement by former Drake collaborator Robert Kirby. Hazeley and Parker had traced Kirby, who had long ago retired from the music scene, to persuade him to arrange their track. In a busy year, the duo finished preparations on their debut album while pursuing a lucrative sideline writing songs for EastEnders actress turned pop singer, Martine McCutcheon. Emoticons was another impressive collection of elegantly crafted folk pop. The innate strength of songs such as ‘What I Meant To Say’ and ‘Air Guitar’ enabled the album to rise above the inevitable Drake comparisons, although this time around critics also noted similarities to Radiohead and Jeff Buckley. In September, Parker and Hazeley appeared at The Tribute To Nick Drake concert at London’s Barbican Centre.
Critically fêted but commercially undervalued, Ben And Jason completed a second album for Go! Beat that failed to match the excellence of their previous recordings. The duo elected to call it a day after being dropped by their record label. Goodbye was belatedly released by Setanta Records.

GIRLY MACHINE self titled 1994

 

Discogs

AllMusic Review by Karen E. Graves 

Unlike Ohio's other favorite group of Brit rockers, Dayton's Guided by Voices, the English accent heard on songs by Columbus' Girly Machine is the genuine article (sorry, Bob) as frontman Andy Spencer hails from across the pond. However, rather than fully embracing his potential as a Brit popper, Spencer opts for a vocal style that generally leans more toward singspeak and an overall air of at least mild creepiness. Rounded out by phenomenal guitarist Robert Petric (later the metal-riffing axeman for Ron House-fronted noise punk icons Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments), drummer Dana Marshall (most well known for his time in superb Scrawl), and bassist Jeff Plavcan, Girly Machine buzzes, rattles, and chugs their way through songs that strike a balance between ominous and poppy, bringing to mind acts like Bauhaus and the Psychedelic Furs. The music is dark, with traces of old-school goth (minus the sort of cartoonish, middle school black t-shirt anguish that sometimes entails), yet rooted in rock and truly quite catchy. While the entire album is first rate, "Vancouvre" is among the standout tracks, as it finds Spencer naming places he'd like to go (Vancouver, the Louvre, and Mother Russia make the list) with an almost Fred Schneider cadence.
