VIBROLUSH self titled 1997

Artist Biography by MacKenzie Wilson

Alternative rock quartet Vibrolush has been honing its rock & roll dynamics since the mid-'90s when frontman Phil Vassil and guitarist James Mazler began jamming in various session cubbies in the New York music scene. Both musicians had a fondness for '80s new wave and a thirst for classic rock, so naturally Vibrolush molded such influences into the sonic fiber behind the band's own glam-oriented sound.

Vassil and Mazler hooked up with drummer Tobias Ralph and bassist 'B' to make Vibrolush a solid foursome. They released their self-titled debut on Interscope in 1997, but three years later Vibrolush scored a deal with V2. Touch and Go was the band's sophomore effort released in fall 2000, introducing a tighter pop sound, layered with bits of funk and raw rock riffs.

DAMNATION Burn Em Like A Rat 1999

Artist Biography by Alex Henderson

The name Damnation has been used more than a few times in the rock world. Damnation has been the name of a California punk band, an Argentinian power metal band, and a Canadian thrash metal/speed metal band, as well as death metal/black metal bands from Poland and Indonesia, and there has also been a German band called Damnation. But the Damnation profiled in this bio is an underground Swedish metal trio, and "underground" is definitely the word to describe the Stockholm-based outfit, which has combined death metal and black metal with thrash metal and speed metal. Despite many years in the trenches, Sweden's Damnation hasn't enjoyed much commercial success -- even by death metal and black metal standards -- and their recordings have been few and far between. The group's obscurity has a lot to do with the fact that Damnation's three members -- Richard Cabeza on lead vocals and guitar, Björn Gramell on bass, and Peter Stjärnvind on drums -- have kept busy with a variety of other bands in the ‘90s and 2000s (some of them much better known). Cabeza has been a part of at least seven other Nordic bands, including Dismember, Unleashed, Carbonized, and General Surgery, while Stjärnvind's affiliations have included Entombed, Regurgitate, and Loud Pipes. Gramell, meanwhile, is perhaps best known for his association with a band called Charred Remains. Clearly, Cabeza, Gramell, and Stjärnvind have regarded Damnation as a side project; nonetheless, Damnation has been active for a long time (albeit in an on-again/off-again fashion). The trio was formed in 1989, and Damnation was still contributing to the Nordic metal scene 15 years later in 2004 (and continuing to fly under the radar). Although not a punk band per se, the Swedish headbangers are certainly punk-influenced, and they obviously identify with the sort of gut-level rawness that characterized old-school punk back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. There is a very primitive, garage-like quality to Damnation, whose influences (some of them from Western Europe, some of them from the United States) have included Venom, Celtic Frost, Bathory, and the seminal Motörhead, as well as Slayer, Napalm Death, and Megadeth. And their work hasn't changed very much along the way; in 2004, a few reviewers commented on how stylistically, Damnation had maintained their loyalty to the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Damnation continues to recall an era in which thrash metal was giving way to the more extreme (but equally punk-influenced) death metal/black metal field -- a time when the blistering Slayer was considered both thrash and death metal. Although Damnation recorded some little-known demos in the ‘90s (including 1995's Divine Darkness), it took them 15 years to come out with their first full-length album. Their debut album finally saw the light of day in 2004, when Candlelight released Destructo Evangelia in the United States.

CUPID CAR CLUB Join Our Club... 1993

 

Discogs

AllMusic Review by Brian Whitener 

After the breakup of Nation of Ulysses, Ian Svenonius, Steve Gamboa, and James Canty returned in a number of guises, Cupid Car Club, M.P. being one of them, before settling into the Make-Up. This 7" adds vocalist Kim Thompson to the mix; her presence revives this moribund way station featuring not just one revolutionary (once) subcultural teenage identity creation song but four! Four chances for kids to join the club. "Edge of the Envelope" is a cryptically angry tune saved by the interplay between Svenonius and Thompson. Is this what they mean by a call to action? The ultra-catchy "Vapor Rub Out" positions Svenonius as a kind of Screaming Jay Hawkins figure, substituting the "in" knowledge for personal magnetism but still working to cast a spell of sexual attraction. On the flip side, "Child Custody" touches on incendiary male/female relationships and "Grape Juice Plus" joins the long line of mystical revolutionary (twice) songs about soda. Although you gotta give props for the fourth Horseman being Fever and the outro chorus, "That's, that's, that's what I'm waiting for," which perfectly crystallizes the mid-'90s frozen revolutionary (three times!) impulse of punkish white youth. A group that will give you an identity in the name of a highly xenophobic (sub) culture -- yeah, that's what you're waiting for.

MIDNIGHT OIL The Green Disc 1990

Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny

Australia's Midnight Oil brought a new sense of political and social immediacy to pop music: not only did incendiary hits like "Beds Are Burning" and "Blue Sky Mine" bring global attention to the plight of, respectively, Australia's indigenous people and working class, but the group also put its money where its mouth was -- in addition to mounting benefit performances for groups like Greenpeace and Save the Whales, frontman Peter Garrett later became a member of the Australian House of Representatives on the Labor ticket. Early on, Midnight Oil's music was rough-hewn hard rock with a punky vibe (this side of the band can be heard on 1979's Head Injuries), while they began taking on more adventurous melodic constructs and angular arrangements that sounded smart without slipping into pretension (their high points in this era were 1983's 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 1984's Red Sails in the Sunset). The group adopted a slightly more accessible approach and more dynamic arrangements with 1987's international hit Diesel and Dust, and they kept up this engaging if less aggressive attack on 1990's Blue Sky Mining and 1993's Earth and Sun and Moon. 2002's Capricornia found them beefing up their sound again before the group went on hiatus, only to return for live work in the 2010s.
