Sandbox Bullies
"Cadillac Smile" (Loaded Bomb Records)

Read through six rawboned arrangements, jaw-jutted rockabilly detonates in all directions, knocking flat moonage malcontents as if they were pomaded tenpins elated at the full-bore aggression.

Recommended "Cadillac Smile," "Gimme," "Train"

Kenyon Lockry

"Family Man" (self)

An easygoing buddy you didn't know you had has got a CD out. With gentlemanly, sunbeam-strobed home-folk bounce, Kenyon shares his world and the cherished ones populating it. An unhurried, loose-limbed family album of universal import.

Recommended "Ramblin'," "We Got a Good Thing," "Finger Lickin' Good Cookin'"," "Minutes Pass," "Lil' Kenyon," "Sweet Lil' Nora June," "Let Your Worries Blow Away In the Wind"

Dex Romweber
"Carrboro" (Bloodshot)

All about in Dex's works float ghosts lugubrious, stricken, and, at sudden moments, jaunty and piano-rolling. His is a booming voice summoning desperately contemplative, assertive flawed humanity. All of which strides and soars in confident confederation with authoritative guitar appropriately echoing into greater grasp.

Recommended "Nightride," "Taking My Baby Away," "Smile," "Midnight At Vic's," "Trouble of the World," "I Don't Know"

The Meteors
"The Power of Three" (Mutant Rock)

It was never seriously disputed. "Only the Meteors Are Pure Psychobilly." Contumelious. Brutal. Supremely indifferent to opprobrium. They are at smirking, stomping ease being malignant. And just as they were the primeval sinister brute creations, so too will they always be the only ones indispensible. 

Recommended "Rockin' At the House of Strange," "Psycho," "Do the Blood Feast Twist," "On the Devil's side," "The Curse of the Hunger For Crawling Things," "Look Behind You," "The New Primitives," "We Will Rise"

13 Cats
"In the Beginning, Vol. 1 & 2" 
(13 Cats/Revel Yell)

A felicitously aberrant rascal mission whose storied big beat-ministers hailed from glory-scribed walks the Rockats, Stray Cats, and Polecats, 13 Cats may have been just too cool for this world; their flame burned briefly, but oh, so brightly. Danny B. Harvey, Tim Polecat, Smutty Smith, and Slim Jim Phantom crafted stunningly novel admixtures of literate, fantastic, scarlet lyricism and burly roots musics jetted up into tomorrow. They rocked headfirst into a tilted and technicolored taboo delirium dear to maddened cobblestone acolytes. And, though they ultimately went different ways, and discovered fresh joys, we have this stormy portrait of the momentary wonder that was.

Recommended "Flesh For Andy Warhol" (demo), "Hell Bop" (live radio broadcast), "Teddy Boy Kung Fu Weapon" (1996 debut show), "Chanting For Cadillacs" (demo), "Rockaholic Baby," "Snap, Crackle, and Hiss" (1996 debut show)

The Palomars

"Jail House Bop" / "Brassy Dame" / "Space Age Chevy" (self)

The joint was jumpin'. Limber, grinning dance athletes in hipster glad rags bopped and swung atop weathered hardwood, as a dependable barkeep toweled a mug and surveyed the wall-to-wall fun.

Onstage, a three-man combo gave out with as winning, cleanly defined, and easygoing a sound backdrop as might be desired. Crack-pop snare, knowingly negotiated doghouse, steel-string swerves, impeccable guitar articulations, affably drawled narrations -- everything in its place, and a place for everything.

The Rocketz

"California Hell" (Splatterhouse Wreckords)

It's not easily done, relentlessly firing potent punk torpedoes with twanged, sway-backed 'billy charge inlaid. But Tony Slash et al make it sound deceptively simple. They're that adept at their stormful, beat-down, dirty business. Way too good to pass by, much too on-point to contest. Drop the needle, brothers and sisters, and dip hips in the taboo fracture dimension.

Recommended "Before the Night," "Stand Tall and Proud," "Bob's a Zombie," "Transylvania Express," "Curtain of Lies, "I'm Coming Home," "Pretty Fucked Up"
