Atomic Swindlers: Intergalactic Lesbian Love Songs

[6.Oct.06] :. Glam rock laced with obscure super hero references and sapphic celebration, anyone? Yes, please. But don't get too hung up on the sci-fi sex trappings. At the radioactive core of Atomic Swindlers is a solid rock band that doesn't require gimmicks.

Bellini: Small Stones

[17.Feb.06] :. Small Stones manages to offer more than most records twice its length. It is a beautiful marriage of melody and dissonance.

Bedsit Poets: Summer that Changed

[15.Feb.06] :. Sleepy melodies and Dreamy lyrics. If there is an album of lullabies for adults, this may be it

Minus the Bear: Menos el Oso

[4.Nov.05] :. Minus the Bear has grown up... sort of. At lest they're not singing songs about kicking it like donkeys.

Meredith Bragg and the Terminals: Volume 1

[24.Oct.05] :. It may not be the most challenging record you will hear this year, but it has a kindness and charm that is hard to resist.
